A Facebook post recently reported that a company in the Netherlands has created an “ice cream” with a combination drug, Paracetamol (500 mg), which relieves pain.

A Facebook post recently reported that a company in the Netherlands has created an “ice cream” with a combination drug, Paracetamol (500 mg), which relieves pain.

More importantly, is eating ice cream safe, especially with the post from 2018, again spreading on several web pages, and sharing it 66,000 times on the Internet

The ice cream was made with paracetamol at a bakery in the village of North Brabant in Odenbosch in 2016, according to the Dutch publication BN Dystem. .

While the Food and Safety Authority in the Netherlands said it would not be safe to sell it to customers, a BNDiStrum spokesperson said: “If there is a lot of paracetamol in the ice cream, a license is required to give such a drug. But if there is little of it, it is the so-called new food, then authorization is required from the European Commission for it.

But the owner of the bakery confirmed that he will not try to sell the ice cream to customers and that it is for display purposes only. It should be noted that ice cream containing paracetamol cannot be purchased in Odenbosch or anywhere else in the Netherlands.
