The FDA has issued a warning snorting chocolate powder can cause serious health problems and encourages minors to do illicit drugs.
Launched earlier this year, Coco Loko is a chocolate powder – or ‘infused cacao snuff,’ as Legal Lean’s website calls it – that also contains energy drink ingredients.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer of New York wrote to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this year, demanding an investigation into the chalky chocolate, calling it ‘cocaine on training wheels,’ in a statement.
The FDA said in its letter that Coco Loko contains ingredients that should classify it as a drug and that it is marketed in a way that encourages drug use for minors.
