FDA warns vs 'Sehat Badan' food supplement
January 18, 2014 7:43am
Health authorities on Friday warned the public against buying and taking an unregistered food supplement being sold in areas like Cagayan de Oro City.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a public health warning against the "Sehat Badan" food supplement after it was alerted by a consumer.
"As advertised online, Sehat Badan is [a] herbal drink that 'promotes and enhance general well-being and treat various diseases' such as asthma, urinary stones, allergy, impotence, rheumatism, toothache and ulcer. These claims are not approved by the FDA as the subject product is not registered with this Office," FDA head Kenneth Hartigan-Go said in FDA Advisory 2014-006.
He said an initial evaluation of the product showed its label had no English translation, violating Administrative Order 88-B series of 1984.
Under the order, imported food products where the label is in a foreign language must have a corresponding English translation, before the product can be allowed for local distribution.
"Products marketed as food supplement without English translation pose harm to the consumers since consumers will have no better understanding of the true nature of the health product they purchased.
"These products definitely did not pass the FDA standard of safety and quality, therefore, public health is at stake," Hartigan-Go said.
Because of this, he said FDA field officers have instructions to seize these unregistered food supplements. He also asked local government units and law enforcement agencies' help. — LBG, GMA News
