CHINA-SHANGHAI-DRINK-RED BULL-BANNED ADDITIVES

SHANGHAI, Feb. 11, 2012 (Xinhua) -- A saleswoman takes cans of Red Bull beverage off shelves in a large supermarket in Shanghai, east China, Feb. 11, 2012. Supermarkets in major Chinese cities had taken Red Bull products off their shelves over fears that the energy drink may contain banned additives. The scare was triggered by recent media reports in Harbin that stated that some of the beverage's ingredients are not registered with the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and are not approved for vitamin functional beverages.
