A California chocolate company is currently conducting a recall of its products after they were found to contain traces of sildenafil and tadalafil, unbeknownst to customers. These two are commonly used as active ingredients in erectile dysfunction (ED) medications like Viagra and Cialis.
According to The LA Times, the recall was initiated by a San Francisco Bay Area company named Gear Isle. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration prohibits selling products “spiked” with undeclared prescription drug ingredients, especially since these substances can cause a life-threatening drop in blood pressure when mixed with nitrates.
