The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), has commenced investigations into a purported energy drink alleged to be \u201cBlue Jeans Energy Drink\u201d to take necessary regulatory measures to protect public health and safety.<\/p>\n

A statement signed by Mr Hudu Mogtari, Chief Executive Officer of FDA, said the attention of the FDA had been drawn to a video circulating on social media on an energy drink alleged to be Blue Jeans Energy Drink.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”C9EJoxtT7aIKhaMpvEctrXnynCxDqSwh”]The statement said the video showed that the product had been relabeled as Blue Jeans Energy Drink, but it appeared the product was not Blue Jeans Energy Drink.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe acknowledge with deep concerns the potential safety issues this video raises and the apparent panic it has caused.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FDA regrets that the consuming public has had to grapple with this challenge, and wishes to assure the public that it has taken immediate steps to address the concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the FDA has taken further steps by ordering; Cessation of the distribution and sale of all Blue Jeans Energy Drinks; total recall from trade of the special Christmas consignment of Blue Jeans Energy Drinks with labels bearing Santa Claus (Father Christmas), and submission of all relevant documents for its examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to assure the public that the FDA has commenced investigations into the matter and would take the necessary regulatory measures and actions to protect public health and safety,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the statement said the importer is assisting with investigations.<\/p>\n
