Products of the Brands Serrano and Cordilheira Were Banned Due to Sanitary Irregularities; Consumers Should Avoid Consumption

The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) has determined the prohibition of the sale, manufacture, distribution, importation, and use of extra virgin olive oils from the brands Serrano and Cordilheira throughout Brazil. The decision was published in the Official Gazette and is based on the fact that the products were being marketed by companies without legal registration in the country, posing a risk to consumer health.

Why Were the Oils Banned by Anvisa?

According to Anvisa, the oils from the brands Serrano and Cordilheira were being distributed and sold by companies without an active National Register of Legal Entities (CNPJ) and without a valid sanitary authorization.

The sale by unknown companies violates food control and inspection regulations and raises suspicions about the origin, composition, and safety of the products.

Measures Taken and Consumer Guidance

In addition to prohibiting sales, Anvisa ordered the seizure of all lots available on the market from these brands. The recommendation is clear:

Do not consume these products.
If you have already purchased, do not use.
Contact the place of purchase for more information or returns.

The agency emphasizes that food products must always have known origins, sanitary registration, and safe provenance.

Anvisa Issues Alert for Grated Coconut Lot

Anvisa has also suspended lot 030424158 of grated coconut from the brand Coco & Cia. The reason: presence of sulfur dioxide above the permitted limit, a preservative that, in excess, can cause adverse reactions.

This lot should also be avoided, and the guidance is similar: do not consume and contact the establishment responsible for the sale.

Food Safety in Focus

Anvisa reinforces the importance of consumers checking labeling, the manufacturer’s CNPJ, and inspection seals before purchasing food, especially those more susceptible to fraud, like oils, which are often targets of adulteration.

Staying alert and seeking information from reliable sources is essential to avoid health risks.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

French tourist accidentally enters a volcanic crater in Arkansas and comes out with a 7.46-carat diamond: rare brown stone became the eighth largest find since 1972 in a park where visitors can keep the treasure they find.

Supermarket giant has just closed 28 stores and left 6,673 people unemployed in the North and Northeast of Brazil.

Now Brazil has moved up a level: flying robots are starting to be tested to harvest oranges on farms, selecting ripe fruits with cameras and sensors, sucking each fruit without dropping it, and promising to help producers in the face of labor shortages in orchards.

Without a brain, without teeth, and without haste, this carnivorous plant from California tricks wasps with special nectar before choosing which prey to devour.

In India, a drill opened the first 100 meters of a railway tunnel embedded in the worst class of rock that an engineer can encounter.
