Problems for consumers of coffee and infusions. The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), a division of the Ministry of Health, has ordered the recall of various products due to their risk to the heart. Their labeling does not include sibutramine and sildenafil, substances that can be harmful to health.
The products that have been withdrawn from sale include Soraya capsules, HHS Kuka Café, Soraya Slim Coffee Café, Lipo Solution and detox tea. All of them, listed in AEMPS, analyze a certain amount of sibutramine, which suppresses appetite and poses some serious health risks. For this reason, its distribution was already canceled in 2010. In addition, detox tea contained sildenafil, a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.
According to AEMPS, the coffee and infusions contained doses of both substances high enough to be considered drugs. Both ingredients are not listed on their labels, which violates regulations. Its sale is prohibited.
