Are you Diesel?
I was looking around for this article for a friend where the gov of NY had all these vitamins tested in Dwayne Reed (or how ever you spell it) and
most of the herb products tested for pretty much nothing. Anyway I came across this instead:

Apparently some products that contain Acacia Rigidula also contain BMPEA
"But BMPEA is not a regulated drug, has never been studied in humans, and is not derived from the Acacia rigidula plant, Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Pieter Cohen told ABC News, who reached the same conclusion as the FDA in its 2013 report. Cohen and his co-authors published their study this week in the medical journal Drug Testing and Analysis.They wrote that they tested 21 supplement brands bearing Acacia rigidula on the label and claiming to help with weight loss, athletic performance and cognitive function. They found that 11 of them contained BMPEA."There's an unbelievably potent stimulant, a close relative, a brother of amphetamines -- that's found in multiple different brands of supplements," Cohen, an internist at Cambridge Health Alliance, told ABC News. "But much more alarming than this is that even though the FDA has known about this for the last 2 years, they have done absolutely nothing to remove these supplements from the market."
Oh I guess this article did contain what I was searching for:
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sent cease and desist letters to several chain stores in February, barring them from selling store-brand supplements in the state. The attorney general's office said it had tested these supplements for plant DNA listed on the bottles, such as echinacea, ginseng and St. John's Wort, as part of an ongoing investigation. The attorney general's office said it found that 79 percent of the products either had none of the plant DNA listed or were contaminated with unlisted ingredients.
