France has seized a record 31,000 tonnes of honey containing erectile dysfunction medication, amid a growing trend of consumers seeking “natural” aphrodisiacs. The shipments, worth millions of euros, originated mainly from Malaysia, Thailand, and Turkey. Despite government warnings since 2021, young men are flocking to sticks or packets labeled as “all-natural” that contain sildenafil or tadalafil, the active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis. The French national customs service has seen a nearly doubling of traffic in “love honey” brands over the past year, highlighting concerns about consumer safety and the rise of online scams.
