Pregnant women should steer clear of quinine-containing beverages!
BfR believes labelling is needed
The information "contains quinine" is stated on every tonic or bitter lemon beverage. But only few consumers will know why. Even if the enjoyment of quinine-containing beverages is not problematic for most of the population, the consumption of larger amounts can be harmful for some individuals. "Pregnant women, in particular, should refrain from consuming this substance for precautionary reasons", says BfR President Professor Dr. Dr. Andreas Hensel. People who have been advised against quinine because of a specific clinical picture or an oversensitivity to cinchona alkaloids, should avoid quinine-containing beverages. In order to raise awareness amongst consumers about possible risks, BfR recommends that the previous labelling be extended to include specific information for pregnant women and other specific target groups.

Can you substitute tonic water for seltzer water?
Yes, you can substitute tonic water for seltzer water, but it will alter the taste of your drink. Tonic water contains added flavors, primarily quinine, and sweeteners, giving it a distinct taste that is different from the neutral flavor of seltzer. If the recipe relies on the subtle effervescence of seltzer, the strong flavor of tonic may not be appropriate. However, in cocktails where the taste of tonic is complementary, it can work as a substitute.
