With reference to a report in Saudi Gazette (May 20) Unilever, the producer of the Lipton brand of tea, has clarified that it was in no way associated with American Leptin Pharmaceutical Ltd., whose brand of Green Tea that causes slimming has been banned by the Saudi FDA. A statement from the company said Lipton green tea products do not contain the ingredient alleged in the American Leptin Pharmaceutical Ltd.'s product. All of Lipton's products are made out of natural ingredients i.e. leaf tea and flavors, it said. The error is regretted.
