Russian Consumer Rights Watchdog Finds Dangerous Chemicals in US Whiskey

YEKATERINBURG, August 22 (RIA Novosti) – Russia's consumer rights protection agency Rospotrebnadzor in Sverdlovsk Region found a chemical agent, capable of causing allergies and functional changes in the nervous system, in Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey whiskey.

“The final results of laboratory tests have revealed the presence of benzyl ether of benzoic acid in Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey [liqueur] spirit, which has sensitization properties, causes allergic reactions, could provoke functional changes in central and peripheral nervous system and is widely used as an acaricidal [anti-mite] agent,” the consumer rights watchdog said in a statement Thursday.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor in Sverdlovsk Region ordered the removal of the US-made Jack Daniel’s Tennessee and Jim Beam Bourbon whiskeys from sale starting Friday as they did not meet some of the consumer rights watchdog’s technical requirements. Rospotrebnadzor also filed administrative cases against the stores which were selling the whiskeys without proper labeling.

lol the way it is written, a chemical agent which can cause reactions, hell even sugar can. Benzoic acid is naturally occurring in many fruits and foodstuffs, the way its written makes it seem like its been put there by Americans to kill Russians, its nontoxic and basically harmless to 99% of people. Russian vodka on the other hand, thats a cancer.

Benzoic acid is pure poison! Thankfully, Russia has started to root out this dastardly contaminant. I'm assuming they'll next go after other foodstuffs that contain it, such as cinnamon, plums, cranberries, and the dreaded raspberry! We need to remove most berries from our diets, since almost all of them contain this insidious toxin! I will pray for your continued health.

Worried about a trace of benzoic acid, which those of you spending any experience of Tinea would have rubbed all over your feet a harmless non toxic substance in any resonable amount.

Yet apparently not worried about the dangerous substance that makes up over 40% of JD which causes:

cancer of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, lips, liver brain injury,
loss of memory, confusion, hallucinations high blood pressure,
irregular pulse, enlarged heart and changes in red blood cells weakness and loss of muscle tissue sweating,
flushing and bruising of the skin inflamed stomach lining,
bleeding and stomach ulcers increased risk of lung infections
severe swelling of the liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis
inflamed pancreas
tingling and loss of sensation in hands and feet
for men, impotence, shrinking of testicles and damaged and reduced sperm
for women, greater risk of gynaecological problems
