Cuba bans the sale of about 15 energy drinks containing alcohol due to intoxication

The Ministry of Public Health of Cuba has prohibited the import and sale of approximately 15 alcoholic energy drinks following reports of intoxication cases. The preventative measure includes the cancellation of sanitary registrations that previously authorized the entry of these specific products into the country.

The restriction was enacted to address public health concerns linked to the consumption of these mixed beverages. By extinguishing the sanitary permits, authorities have moved to permanently block the distribution and commercialization of the identified drinks within the national market.
