The National Administration of Drugs, Foods and Medical Technology (ANMAT) banned mosquito repellentand some food products such as a brand of honey, one of pickles and one of puffed corn.
The measure was published in the Official Gazette as provision 8833/2024which indicates that the decision was made for violating some key regulations. As a consequence, “preparation, fractionation and marketing” was disabled of the mentioned products.
Sale of insect repellent banned
He insect repellent “MOS OUT”was banned by ANMAT because the Department of Home Sanitary, Cosmetics and Personal Hygiene Products detected that the data presented by the product did not belong to a repellent registered with the agency.
Its production was prohibited in “all batches, presentations and expirations,” according to the provision. There it is also assured that the decision was made to “protect users”.
More precisely, the official measure states that “the establishment that was in charge of its preparation is unknown” and for that very reason “it is not possible to provide guarantees about its effectiveness, safety, and/or formulation with ingredients permitted by current applicable regulations.”
The honey brand that was disqualified by ANMAT
The organization prohibited the “Multifloral Bee Honey” belonging to the brand “The Apiary” because the product did not have a current National Food Product Registry (RNPA) number or National Establishment Registry (RNE) number.
These records certify the fitness of products to be distributed and consumed without problems for citizens. By not showing these numbers, ANMAT highlights that the honey was “falsely labeled”
It is stated that the item was disabled “in any presentation, batch and expiration date,” and it is unknown if it could be repositioned on the shelves for sale.
Other prohibited products
A brand of puffed corn It also appears in the provision published in the Official Gazette, as it lacks an RNPA number, as happens with honey.
Furthermore, it did not have the obligatory symbol “No TACC”, which indicates by whom it can be consumed and enables celiacs to eat it. The problem is that he did not have the corresponding authorization that enabled him to wear that symbol and confirmed whether anyone could consume it.
Finally, the sale of five types of pickled preservesbelonging to the same brand as corn, for “lacking health records of establishment and product.”
Thus, the “El Abuelo” brand tararira, dorado, otter, capybara and otter pickles were disabled.
