Ho Chi Minh City recommends people not to use weight loss products of "Ngan Collagen"

(Dan Tri) - The Department of Food Safety recommends that people do not buy or use a series of weight loss food products, including products advertised by "Ngan Collagen".

The above information was announced by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety on the evening of October 5.

Previously, on October 22, the Food Safety Department ( Ministry of Health ) issued Official Dispatch No. 2119/ATTP-NDTT on coordinating the inspection and supervision of food products, including information about some weight loss foods advertised on social networks by a person nicknamed "Ngan collagen".

Based on the above Official Dispatch, currently the authorities are conducting inspections and verifications of production, business and advertising activities of many products.

Therefore, to protect health, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety recommends that consumers do not buy or use related weight loss food products - especially products advertised by individuals on social networks or whose origin cannot be verified - while waiting for the authorities to complete the inspection and verification.

These are the products: N - Collagen Lemon Plus, N - Collagen Cordyceps Bird's Nest Plus+, Apple candy to reduce belly fat (or "Apple candy", with the name Hoang Chau Pharma Company Limited on the product packaging).

Authorities warn people not to use two products: Apple candy to eliminate belly fat and N - Collagen Lemon Plus (Screenshot).

Previously, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety sent forces to inspect the company of "Ngan Collagen" in District 8 (old), now Phu Dinh Ward (Ho Chi Minh City).

However, at that time, the company had stopped operating, so it was not possible to check or sample the products.

Currently, the authorities continue to review and see if the company's products are still distributed on the market, as well as whether it has any other locations of operation.

Since May, the Food Safety Department has informed that through post-inspection of food product announcement and advertisement, this agency discovered that a number of products of N - Collagen Import Export Company Limited (located at 28 Lot B, Phu Dinh River Port Resettlement Area, Ward 16, old District 8, HCMC) advertised by individual "Ngan Collagen" violated regulations.

Specifically, the two products "Apple candy to eliminate belly fat" and "N - collagen Chanh Plus" were advertised in a misleading way about their uses, advertising the products as medicines... The label images of these two products on the internet indicate that the product group is a dietary supplement.

The Food Safety Department said: "On the online public service software, we have not yet issued a Certificate of Product Declaration Registration and a Certificate of Advertising Content Confirmation for the products named "Apple Candy to Eliminate Belly Fat" and N - Collagen Chanh Plus".

Through review, the management agency discovered that the above 2 products were exclusively distributed by N - Collagen Import Export Company Limited, with the units responsible for product quality and distribution being companies in Hanoi .
