The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday, September 16, warned the public against purchase of the Filipino favorite liver spread Reno and other unregistered food products and food supplements.

In an announcement posted on its website on Wednesday, the FDA listed the following products as unregistered and have no corresponding Certificates of Product Registration (CPR):

• Reno Brand Liver Spread;
• Miracle White Advance Whitening Capsules Food Supplement;
• Turcumin 100% Natural & Standardized Turmeric Curcumin;
• Desa Spanish Style Bangus in Corn Oil;
• Samantha’s Dips and Sauce Spanish Sardines Paste Sauce.

“Since these unregistered food products and food supplements have not gone through evaluation process of the FDA, the agency cannot assure its quality and safety,” the FDA said.

The FDA said they already notified all concerned establishments “not to distribute, advertise, or sell the said violative food products until CPR are issued.”

“All law enforcement agencies and local government units are requested that these products are not sold or made available in the market or areas of jurisdiction,” the FDA added.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Customs is urged to prevent the entry of the said products in the country. – Rappler.com
