6 brands of Olive Oil by Anvisa this year are banned
In May, The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) has published a series of implementation measures related to olive oils. On Monday (26) the agency vetoed two more brands, according to justification that they had an unknown source. With this, it has increased to six brands.
They are:
- The suction cup
- Grego Santori
- Quintas de Olivera
- Alonso
- Olive peaks
- Oil press
According to Anvisa, the CNPGs of packaging companies in the labels have been stopped for irregularities in the Federal Revenue Register, which means the source is unknown.
In a statement, the agency said in a statement that “these are foods that are unknown, so it is impossible to guarantee the quality and composition of the products.”
Tests and bans
Anvisa has released a series of Olive Oil -related actions. This action is the result of identifying secret products of the Agriculture and Livestock Ministry (MAPA) responsible for the classification and registration of organizations that produce vegetable oils.
From this information, the agency has decided to ban and collection of products.
This month, for example, the federal Agricultural Defense Laboratory last year was analyzed by the Laboratory and was disqualified by MAPA because they did not meet the quality standards provided in the normal instruction number 01/2012, which would establish the rules for food preparation.
“Analyzes have identified the presence of other vegetable oils that are not detected in the composition of olive oils, compromising the quality and security of the products,” the ministry said at the time.
Now what happens
According to conclusions, violations are sufficient for the definition of damaged, damaged, false, changed or damaged foods.
With this, the commercialization, distribution, manufacture, import, advertising and use of these olive oils are suspended, which removes all space from the markets.
According to Anvisa, the sale of these products configures a health violation. Therefore, companies must separate the available units and inform the municipal health surveillance so that it can take appropriate measures.
Tips while buying olive oil
Olive Oil is one of the wide food products in the world. To avoid being fooled at the time of purchase, the map refers to some precautions:
- Always be suspicious than average prices;
- If possible, make sure that the company is registered in the ministry;
- See a list of irregular products already seized in MAPA actions;
- Don’t buy bulk oil;
- Learn about the expiry date and containing ingredients;
- Choose products with a fresh filling date.
