The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) continues with inspections of internet sale including so-called foodstuffs for particular nutrition.

Inspectors currently detected foodstuff for particular nutrition sold under name Herbalife 24 Formula 1 Sport vanilka (vanilla), nutritional protein cocktail mix in powdered state packaged à 780 g with best before date by 9/2016, lot: 994669BG3 imported by CALWELL s.r.o., Martinická 987, 197 00 Prague 9 and of country of origin: USA. The product in question contained vitamin D in amount by a third lower than stated on the labelling.

The producer indicated on the labelling, inter alia, that vitamin D content is 18 µg in 1 recommended dosage à 26 g. However, laboratory analysis confirmed concentration amounting to 12,5 µg/ 26 g only. Information on the labelling thus might have misled consumers as regards vitamin D.

CAFIA inspectors purchased the sampled defective lot via e-shop www.herbaprodukt.cz. CAFIA will initiate an administrative procedure on imposition of a fine with the operator – Mgr. Ing. Tomáš Gardiančík, Ostrava.
