Tests carried out at the National Toxicology Institute have confirmed that very high levels of cocaine were detected in samples of a tropical juice that killed a 40 year old man in Ogíjares (Granada) on the 30th January since when no further cases have been reported.

Regional Health minister Mará Jesús Montero also confirmed that traces of the same drug were found during the autopsy carried out on the victim.

The public was once again warned not to consume the product - 'Tahitian Noni' tropical fruit juice, one litre glass bottle format, manufactured by the Morinda company and imported from Mexico - and asked to hand over any samples to provincial Health authorities for analysis.

Public warning issued after tropical juice death

Health authorities in Andalucía have issued an alert after two members of a family from Sevilla fell ill, one of whom has since died, after consuming a tropical fruit juice.

The product is sold in a one litre glass bottle and is labelled 'Jugo de Noni TAHITIAN NONI'.

Other information appearing on the label reveals that it was manufactured in the USA and exported by a Mexican distributor: 'Hecho en E.U.A. por Morinda, Inc. Importado por: Morinda Internacional México, S de R.L.R.F.C.: MIM990610 1N2. Av. Paseo de la Reforma 265 P.C.Col Cuauhtemoc, Mexico, D.F.C.P. 06500. n-011824-1 010904-MX 2002 Morinda, Inc.'

Regrettably the batch number and expiry date stamps are illegible on the only available sample.

Results of toxicology tests will confirm whether the victim's death was caused by the juice though the public is being warned to refrain from consuming this product and any others that may be incorrectly labelled, especially if any of the following essential information is missing - manufacturer's name and address, product description, batch number, or best before date.
