LOGAN PAUL PRIME ENERGY
DRINK
228. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Minister for Agriculture and
Food:
I
refer the minister to the release of Logan Paul's Prime energy drink
here in Western Australia, despite it containing almost two times the
amount of caffeine normally permitted in Australian beverages.
(1) What, if anything, can the state government do to
close or modify the loophole in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards
Code that allowed this product to be sold locally?
(2) Given the clear and documented dangers of excess
caffeine consumption, especially amongst young people , who appear to be
the target market for this product, will the minister work with her cabinet
colleagues, both here and interstate, to ensure that all such measures are
taken as swiftly as is practicable?
