Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) informed today (21) that it has suspended the sale of food supplements, teas and shakes produced by the company Labornatus do Brasil.
The measure was taken after the agency identified “serious flaws in good manufacturing practices” at the company’s headquarters, located in Marataízes (ES). Anvisa cites problems encountered in cleaning the factory, pest control, potable water, quality control and safety of raw materials, physical structure and documentation.
“Furthermore, the company’s products do not have a statement on their labeling about the presence of the main foods that cause food allergies, their derivatives or about the risk of cross-contamination”, emphasizes the text of the resolution.
With the suspension, the manufacture, sale, distribution and use of all food produced by the company, of any batch, is temporarily prohibited.
Anvisa advises customers who bought the brand’s products not to consume the items. Consumers should also contact the company for recall information.
As the company has private label products, the main way to identify them is by the logo on the label. However, it also manufactures items for other food distributors – which implies that its name will not appear on the label.
Therefore, another way to verify if the product is from Labornatus is to analyze the manufacturer’s data (corporate name, CNPJ, full address), which appear as follows:
Manufactured by: LB NATUS INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE ALIMENTOS LTDA or LABORNATUS DO BRASIL, CNPJ 34.882.599/0001-56. Rua Vitória, nº 12, Ilmenita, Marataízes/ES.
The suspension of the products will be valid until the company presents solutions for the problems presented by the health surveillance agency.
Agência Brasil contacted the company and is waiting for a response.
