Future readers should be aware that the Red Bull's status as kosher may change over time. – msh210♦ Dec 22 '11 at 15:41

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's good for you. – Yaakov Kuperman Mar 28 '12 at 4:35

According to the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc), the "Original Energy Drinks" in regular and diet are kosher while the "Cola" and "Shots" are not. http://www.crcweb.org/beverage_list.php

Both answers are correct. The cRC compiles a list of recommended beverages, not all of which it certifies itself. The actual certification comes from London's Federation which is a well-recognized hashgacha (their hechsher symbol is an octagon with KF in it). Most people in America haven't heard of that hechsher, but will readily follow the cRC and Star-K's endorsement of this product. – Shalom Jan 14 '11 at 13:27

Personally, I couldn't care less if it's got a proper hechsher or not. I tried Red Bull once, and it was disgusting! Give me good ol' coffee any day of the week! – Barry Hammer Nov 29 '11 at 12:59
