The Food and Drug Administration has advised the US public not to consume teas brewed from star anise, as these have been associated with illnesses affecting around 40 people, including some 15 infants, in the last two years. The illnesses have ranged from serious neurological effects such as seizures to vomiting, jitteriness and rapid eye movement.

Although the labeling of teas containing star anise does not make claims for the product, the FDA says it "understands that these products are popularly believed to help against colic in infants." However, as the agency ...
