Foodmate News: 2020. October 9, the US Food and Drug Administration Bureau (the FDA) to five dietary supplements issued warning letters to companies that product label claims cesium chloride as a dietary ingredient on. FDA considers these products are adulterated because they are labeled as containing new dietary ingredients cesium chloride, and because they do not meet the new dietary ingredient sold legally drink containing Sibu conditions charge products.
Cesium chloride is sometimes promoted as an alternative therapy for cancer, but its safety and effectiveness have never been proven for cancer or other uses. In the public health alert in February 2020, the FDA warned consumers to avoid taking dietary supplements containing cesium salts (mainly cesium chloride).
The FDA warning letter has been sent to the following companies: American Nutriceuticals, LLC, Complete H2O Minerals, Inc., Daily Manufacturing, Inc., Elemental Research, Inc. and The Mineral Store, Inc. and Essence-of-Life, LLC.
The FDA has asked the company to respond within 15 working days, stating how the company will correct the violation. Failure to promptly correct illegal behaviors (or provide reasons and supporting information for products that are not illegal) may lead to legal proceedings, including seizures and injunctions.
Under current laws, including the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, if the FDA determines that a dietary supplement product is adulterated (for example, the product is unsafe or lacks safety evidence) or mislabeled (for example, the label is false or misleading) ), and then the agent can take measures to remove these products from the market.
