Six German states have told retailers to stop selling Red Bull Cola energy drinks after a test found a trace amount of cocaine.

The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.

According to a Time.com report on the German authorities' analysis, the amount of micrograms of cocaine per can of the drink does not pose a serious health threat. One would reportedly have to drink 12,000 liters of Red Bull Cola for negative affects to be felt, according to the Time.com report. However, German authorities are still concerned.

Five other states in Germany also banned it from shops amid concerns over possible narcotics law violations.
