Anvisa suspended on Monday (5/6) all propagated that attribute therapeutic properties to the Peruvian Maca product. The capsules manufactured by Hilê Indústria de Alimentos Ltda. Were marketed under advertisements not authorized by health surveillance.
The company featured advertisements claiming benefits in regulating unproven libido, fertility, and fatigue. Such claims are only authorized after proof of basic health guidelines previously established by the relevant legislation.
The suspension of irregular advertising was published in the Official Gazette (DOU) and applies to any media, in addition to those found on the internet.
Clandestine Heart Rate Monitor
The Angel Sounds fetal heart rate detector is suspended throughout Brazil. Sanitary surveillance of the states and municipalities was instructed to seize the clandestine product in question.
The prenatal monitor was marketed on the internet without any health records. Resolution No. 1,464 of June 2, 2017 determines therefore the suspension of the distribution, disclosure and marketing of the Angel Sounds product.
Read these and other resolutions in the edition of the Official Journal of the Union (DOU) this Monday (5/6).
