China will be investigating an incident where thousands of bottles of spirits were detected with traces of Viagra in the southern city of Liuzhou.

Investigators seized around 5,300 bottles of tainted alcohol from two distillers, Guikun Alcohol Plant and the Deshun Alcohol Plant, worth $112,726.

The producers were reportedly selling the bottles to customers saying that the spirit contained ‘health-preserving qualities,’ calling the products ‘Kungfu Alcohol’.

Investigators also seized many packets of a white powder called Sildenafil that is also popularly called Viagra, reported BBC.

According to the Liuzhou Food and Drug Administration, the powder was added to three different types of ‘baijiu’ that is a popular drink in China.

Although the Chinese law prohibits the use of Sildenafil and similar chemicals in food and drinks, there have been previous incidents when the chemicals were added to food products, reported France 24.

The incident is the latest in a string of food scandals in the country. Previously, the country had seized around 100,000t of smuggled frozen meat including chicken wings, beef and pork worth CNY3bn ($483m), along with a batch that dated back to the 1970’s.

The country had also tightened its food safety rules after experiencing scandals ranging from donkey meat tainted with fox DNA, to milk contaminated with industrial chemical melamine. The tainted milk had led to the death of at least six infants, and had made around 300,000 people ill in 2008.
