The decision was made after receiving alerts from Institute of Food Control and Bromatology (ICAB) of Entre Ríos and the Food Surveillance Information System (SIVA).
The second measure fell on the El Noa extra virgin olive oil, which also lacked proper records and had a false label with a health registration number belonging to another companywhich also invalidated it as a legal product.
“In order to protect the health of citizens from the consumption of illegal products, whenever it is a food product that lacks records, which is why traceability cannot be guaranteedits production conditions, its quality with adequate levels of control under the conditions established by current regulations and its safety, the Department of Food Regulations of the INAL recommends prohibiting the production, fractionation and marketing throughout the national territory and in the online sales sites for the aforementioned products, as well as all those products that indicate the RNE and/or RNPA numbers mentioned on their labels,” the Government stated in a statement.
Both bans were justified for public health reasons, since the lack of records prevents guaranteeing the traceability, quality and safety of the products.
