FDA not amused by coffee laced with Viagra-like drugs, issues recall

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 68%. (I'm a bot)

The agency announced a second voluntary recall of a coffee product laced with a Viagra-like drug.

The latest recall affects the uniquely named "New of Kopi Jantan Tradisional Natural Herbs Coffee" product, distributed by Bestherbs Coffee LLC. As in other cases, the owner of Bestherbs Coffee suspects that a common herbal ingredient used in the coffee was purposefully contaminated to cut down on costs.

In May, the agency announced the voluntary recall of "Caverflo Natural Herbal Coffee," distributed by Caverflo.com.

It's unclear how the drugs got into the coffee, but Bestherbs Coffee owner Albert Yee told the Washington Post Thursday, that he suspects it's from an adulterated herbal ingredient, Tongkat Ali.

Yee told the Post he's unsure of how much of his instant coffee mix will be recalled and sent to the FDA for destruction.

Both Yee and the FDA said they haven't gotten any complaints about negative health effects from the coffee.
