Market approval and legal status Edit
Authorities in France, Denmark, and Norway initially kept Red Bull from being sold domestically.[43] However, as of 2014, it is on sale in all 28 member states of the European Union and in more than 167 countries around the world.
The French food safety agency was concerned about taurine. A Red Bull drink that did not contain taurine was introduced. The French refusal of market approval was challenged by the European Commission, and partially upheld by the European Court of Justice in 2004.[43] The French food safety agency relented in 2008, because it was unable to prove a definite health risk, taurine-related or not.[44]
In 2012, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Commerce banned Red Bull for people under 16 after allegedly causing heart attacks for a 16-year-old and a 21-year-old national squash team player
