Anvisa Determines Recall of Products Contaminated with Glass and Points Out Irregular Food Supplements in the Market.

The identification of health risk led the National Health Surveillance Agency to take immediate regulatory action.

This Wednesday (7), the agency determined the recall of food products and supplements in Brazil after detecting glass contamination in an imported batch of tomato sauce and serious sanitary irregularities in food supplements.

The measure was taken after Anvisa received an international alert and concluded that there was a real danger to consumer safety.

Recall of Food Products Due to Glass Contamination

The main case involves the tomato sauce Passata de Pomodoro Di Puglia, from the brand Mastromauro Granoro.

Anvisa determined the exclusive recall of batch LM283, after identifying glass fragments inside the product, characterizing glass contamination and a high health risk to consumers.

According to the agency, the decision was motivated by an alert issued by the European RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed).

The communication pointed out a serious risk to food safety in the batch of the product imported to Brazil, which required an immediate response from Brazilian health authorities.

Sanitary Measures and Total Suspension of the Batch

In addition to the recall of products, the resolution suspends any form of circulation of the contaminated batch. This includes sales in supermarkets, distribution by wholesalers, importing of new units, advertising, and most importantly, consumer use of the product.

Irregular Food Supplements Come Under Anvisa’s Radar

Meanwhile, the same resolution broadened the focus of regulatory oversight and determined the recall of five batches of the supplement Neovite Visão, intended for eye health.

The decision is based on the identification of irregular food supplements, with an immediate prohibition on manufacturing, marketing, importing, advertising, and consumption.

Additionally, the supplements contained a quantity of Caramelo IV exceeding the legal limit, which reinforced the health risk associated with continued consumption of the product.

The company itself announced the voluntary recall of the batches after the notification.

Company Without License and Seizure of Other Supplements

On the other hand, the resolution also ordered the seizure of two supplements manufactured by Ervas Brasil Indústria: Vitamin C Sucupira with Cat’s Claw and Cholesterol Dietary Supplement.

In this case, the irregularities were even more widespread.

According to Anvisa, the company lacks a Sanitary License and Operating Permit, used unauthorized ingredients, and engaged in irregular advertising, making therapeutic claims without scientific proof.

Guidance for Consumers and Next Steps

In light of the recall of products, Anvisa advises consumers to carefully check labels and batch numbers before consumption. If any of the mentioned items are in the consumer’s possession, the recommendation is not to use the product.

Finally, Anvisa emphasizes that regulatory actions like this are essential to ensure the safety of food and supplements available in the Brazilian market, protecting consumers from production failures, glass contamination, and irregular food supplements.

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.

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

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.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.
