EFSA Seeks Data on Energy Drink Consumption

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is calling for data on the consumption of energy drinks by specific consumer groups.

In 2009, EFSA published a scientific opinion evaluating the safety of taurine and d-glucurono-gamma-lactone, popular energy drink ingredients, as individual ingredients. EFSA stated, “Overall, the Panel concludes that the exposure to taurine and d-glucurono-gamma-lactone at the levels mentioned above is not of safety concern.”
