Does Red Bull Cola Contain Cocaine?

Reports coming out of Europe and the EU suggest that Red Bull Cola has been been pulled from shelves in Germany after testing positive for trace amounts of cocaine.

The bans were instituted last Friday, where it has been banned from shops because of concerns over possible drug law violations.

Red Bull said its cola is "harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe." It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.
