What action has the FDA taken about caffeinated alcoholic beverages?
In November 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wrote to nearly 30 producers of potentially dangerous caffeinated alcoholic beverages demanding that the manufacturers of products such as JOOSE and Four Loko demonstrate evidence of product safety and legality. Without such evidence, the agency will take appropriate regulatory action, including possible seizure of products. However, any timing on an FDA ruling is unknown, so states cannot wait for the FDA to take action to remove these dangerous products.
