Before you buy
Before you buy a honey pack for men
The FDA has found hidden drugs in honey products of this kind. Honey Bae is not on its list. Read why that is not the end of the question.
What the FDA found in honey packs
The FDA has tested honey products sold to men and published what it found. It sent warning letters to four companies and posted public notices on 24 products.
The drugs it found are the active ingredients of two prescription medicines. Neither was on the label. A man who takes nitrates for his heart could take one of those sachets and not know what he had swallowed.
“The FDA’s laboratory testing found that product samples contained active drug ingredients not listed on the product labels, including the active drug ingredients found in Cialis (tadalafil) and Viagra (sildenafil)”
“These undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.”
Is Honey Bae on the FDA list?
No. We read both FDA pages below on 9 October 2026, and neither names Honey Bae. That is good news, and it is limited news.
The agency tests a small share of what is on sale. The FDA makes that point itself. A clean search tells you that nobody has published a problem. It does not tell you that somebody tested this box.
“If a product is not on the list, that does not mean it is safe.”
“Talk to a health care professional before buying or trying a new product for your health.”

The product page ends with a standard notice. It says the statements about the product have not been evaluated by the FDA, and that the product is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Every supplement that describes what it supports must carry words like these. The reason is in the FDA's own answer below: the agency does not approve supplements before they are sold. The brand is responsible for what is in the sachet and for what it says about it.
“Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.”
“Under DSHEA, FDA does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed.”
Ask a doctor first if any of these is you
You take nitrates, such as nitroglycerin
The hidden drugs the FDA found in other honey packs can drop blood pressure to a dangerous level when mixed with nitrates.
You have diabetes
A sachet is 15 g of honey. Federal health advice also tells people with diabetes to ask before using Asian ginseng.
You take any regular medicine
Ginseng can interact with medicines, and the box does not state how much of it a sachet holds.
You have reacted to a supplement before
Stop at the first side effect and call your doctor. 17% of buyers rated this box one star, and one of them describes a night of indigestion.
“If you have diabetes, consult your health care provider before using Asian ginseng.”
“Asian ginseng might interact with certain medications.”
Five checks before any honey pack
- 1Search the product name in the FDA's notification list.
- 2Look for a Supplement Facts panel with an amount beside each ingredient.
- 3Be wary of a promise that works within minutes. Food does not act like that. Drugs do.
- 4Read the one-star ratings before the five-star ones.
- 5Take one sachet, not two, the first time.
General information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell after any supplement, stop taking it and contact a health care provider.
Questions
In short
Can you take a honey pack with blood pressure medicine?
Ask your doctor first. The FDA found hidden drugs in 24 honey products, and those drugs can lower blood pressure to dangerous levels alongside nitrates.
Has the FDA warned about Honey Bae?
No. Honey Bae is not named on the 2 FDA pages we read on 9 October 2026. The FDA notes that a product missing from its list is not shown to be safe.
