FDA Takes Enforcement Action Against Three New Jersey Dietary Supplement And Protein Powder Manufacturers

Say "hello" to the new filth supplement. Unnecessary product, unnecessary exposure.

"The U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has filed a complaint for permanent injunction against Quality Formulation Laboratories, Inc., American Sports Nutrition Inc., Sports Nutrition International LLC and Mohamed S. Desoky, who oversees operations at all three companies.

The companies, located in Paterson, N.J., manufacture dietary supplements and protein powders and distribute them throughout the United States. The companies also export powder mixes and dietary supplements for sale by private label customers.

The government's complaint, filed July 1, 2009 in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey, alleges that the companies have failed to follow current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) by manufacturing and storing food under filthy conditions and in conditions that may cause major food allergens to enter into products not intended to contain them.

The complaint also alleges that the companies failed to disclose major food allergens on the product labels and have other labeling problems...

'This company has consistently failed to correct filthy conditions in their plants and to make sure that allergens are appropriately declared on the labels, despite frequent warnings to do so,' said Michael Chappell, the FDA's acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. 'The FDA will not tolerate companies that fail to provide adequate safeguards.'"

But FTC will tolerate IMHO lies and deceptions from AdipOprah and her acolytes.
