It has been confirmed that the bottles of noni fruit juice confiscated from the home of a man who died in Ogíjares, Granada province, last month were found to contain a large amount of cocaine, and that cocaine was also found in the body of the deceased.
A health alert went out after the man’s death, and the Food Safety Agency was informed.
The Junta de Andalucía’s health councillor, María Jesús Montero, has called again for anyone who may have similar bottles at home to avoid drinking it and to hand the bottles in to the regional health department in their province. The juice is in one litre glass bottles and is marked ‘Tahitian Noni.’ It is manufactured by the Mexican company, Morinda.
