BFAD orders recall of some batches of glutathione supplement products

The Department of Health (DOH)-Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) on Friday issued a public health advisory calling for an immediate pull-out of certain batches of three glutathione brands from the market after the agency found that the said batches were "containing less than the amount of Glutathione they purport to process."

"In the interest of public welfare and public protection from deceptive sales and practices," DOH-BFAD Health Advisory No. 2008-006 said it is warning and advising all concerned that the agency has directed the importers and distributors of Glutalife dietary supplement, Lucida-DS/Glutathione 500 mg, and Vaniderm/Dietary Supplement to "immediately recall" specified batch or lot numbers of the products.

The product batches being recalled are Glutalife with Batch No. 20078019; Lucida-DS with Lot. No. 168015L, and Vaniderm with Lot. No. 168015V.

"Likewise, the respective importers/distributors were directed to immediately establish or present evidences to the Bureau assuring that the other batches of the product in question contain the amount of Glutathione they purport to possess," the directive, signed by BFAD director Leticia-Barbara Gutierrez, stated.

"Accordingly, all concerned parties are hereby enjoined to refrain from disturbing, selling the above-identified batches of the said products," the advisory added.

A few weeks earlier, ABS-CBN News reported the findings of the Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC) that showed some known glutathione products do not have the amount of glutathione these products purportedly contained.
