SGSingapore's Food Agency (SFA) discovered that a Malaysian honey supplement called B Solution Honey (Liquid) contained tadalafil, a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. This substance is not approved for use in food and poses significant health risks if consumed improperly, including potential heart issues, strokes, and dangerously low blood pressure. Additionally, two other products, Jus Tuan Haji 1921 and Shaio-Ge Xian Li 365 S1 Botanical Beverage Mix Barley Seedling Powder, were found to contain dexamethasone and sennosides, respectively, both of which are pharmaceuticals not permitted in food items. These products were primarily sold on e-commerce platforms, and SFA has urged consumers to avoid using them and contact the agency if they have concerns.
