A coffee brand in the US, Grand Prairie, Texas based Bestherbs Coffee LLC, has voluntarily recalled all its products sold in the domestic and international markets.

The recall is being coordinated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because according to it the coffee contains an ingredient which is being described as "viagra like"!

The ingredient in question is said to be undeclared and includes desmethyl carbodenafil and milk, which the company has been using since 2014.

And as per the FDA's statement:

Desmethyl carbodenafil is structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction.

Wow, this is a great example of how the U.S. is way to lax in its food regulations, leading to much less nutrition in the North American diet. I'm not surprised by this. Thanks for sharing this :)
