Olive Oils From The Brands Alonso And Quintas D’Oliveira Are Banned In Brazil After Investigations Indicate Unknown Origin, Lack Of Sanitary Licensing And Risks To Consumer Health

The Brazilian government has prohibited the marketing, distribution, manufacture, advertising, and use of olive oils from the brands Alonso and Quintas D’Oliveira. The decision was published in the Official Gazette on Tuesday (20).

The measure was taken by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), based on investigations conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa). Technicians identified several irregularities in the products.

According to Mapa, the olive oils from the two brands have unknown origin and do not comply with important legal standards. Among the issues are the absence of licensing with the health authority and failures in the product labels.

The investigations also indicated that the companies’ facilities do not meet the sanitary standards required for the production and storage of olive oil in Brazil.

In October 2024, Mapa had already seized lots of these brands. At that time, the ministry warned about the risks to consumer health due to uncertainties regarding the origin and composition of the oils.

Anvisa emphasized that the decision aims to protect the health of the population. The agency reinforced that products marketed in the country must be properly labeled and licensed, ensuring food safety.

So far, the involved brands have not commented on the ban. The report will be updated if there is an official statement from the companies.
