"Jetfuel Superburn" is being recalled after Health Canada tests confirmed it contains two undeclared amphetamine-like drug substances that pose serious health risks (beta-methylphenethylamine and phenylpropylmethylamine). The distributor, Empire Health Distribution of Terrebonne, Quebec, is recalling the product from retail stores across Canada. Jetfuel Superburn is promoted for body building purposes, including for weight loss and increased energy.

Products affected
Jetfuel Superburn (with NPN 80041638 on the label)
Jetfuel Superburn (labelled as a “Maximum Strength” Dietary Supplement with no NPN)
(....)
Health Canada tested two products labelled as “Jetfuel Superburn”– one an authorized product with a Natural Product Number (NPN) on the label, the other labelled as an “Extra Strength” Dietary Supplement without an NPN. The tests detected amphetamine-like stimulants beta-methylphenethylamine and phenylpropylmethylamine in both products.
Amphetamine stimulants can increase blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature; lead to serious cardiovascular complications (including stroke) at high doses; suppress sleep and appetite, and be addictive. Jetfuel Superburn also contains caffeine, which can increase these effects when combined with beta-methylphenethylamine and phenylpropylmethylamine.
