Sale of Red Bull as a normal soft drink is prohibited in Denmark, Norway, France and Uruguay.
In 2001, the drink was investigated by the Swedish National Food Administration after being linked to the deaths of three consumers. It has been subject to a number of other health concerns regarding glucuronolactone, a precursor of taurine.
Due to the link with taurine, local authorities categorized Red Bull as a medicine and suggest customers ask for medical advice before drinking. Because of this, only energy drinks without taurine are sold in France.

Don't know the answer but in Turkey it was illegal to sell it as well they had other energy drinks. Don't know if it is still like that. Good question

due to the presence of taurine. It's good it's banned. One less way for the French to get drunk!

illegal? news to me. I don't think it would appeal to French taste though they like "Champagne Americain" (aka Coca-cola).
Maybe the illegality has something to do with licensing and nothing to do with the actual contents of the drink.

I heard, that it was because the ingredient "Taurine" is not an approved food additive in their country.
