Bearing in mind increased interest of the public relating to marketing of Prime non-alcoholic beverage in the Republic of Srpska, the Republic Food Safety Inspection Service has sent five samples of this product for laboratory testing, safety assessment and compliance of the declaration with standing regulations.
Said beverage is being produced in two variants – Prime Energy and Prime Hydration. Inspections of points of sale and distributors in the Republic of Srpska found that Prime Energy, which had previously been banned in Slovenia and Croatia due to unpermitted substances in its contents, has not been circulated in the Republic of Srpska.
In that regards, inspectors found in circulation the Prime Hydration variant which they sent for laboratory testing. We expect the analyses to be completed next week, after which we are going to have an official assessment by an authorised laboratory on how safe this product is.
