Popular Energy drink,
Dragon has been banned by the government, as it violates the country's health
standards, it has been confirmed.
The Ministry of Health and Child Care said the Dragon Energy Drink violates import procedures and does not meet the required health standards of beverages in the country.
“Analysis results of the energy drink have shown that: The drink is violating S.I. 265 of 2002; i) Section 5 (1) (e) The artificial flavourings contained therein are not declared by names on the list of ingredients. The label bears the claims ‘‘THE POWER IS YOURS’’ and specifically designed to maximise ‘‘mental and physical performance’’ which cannot be substantiated, said Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Brigadier-General Dr Gerald Gwinji in announcing the ban.
Environmental health officers have been instructed to remove all Dragon Energy Drinks found in any retail shops.
Reports say another drink Twizza, a non alcoholic beverage, has been banned for the same reasons

yes am in support
of the ban of this drink but at first when you saw them flooding in streets didn’t you have
tested them before they entered into our country it shows that someone didn't do his job before they enter the country .
