CAFIA banned a dangerous food supplement that should enhance sexual potency
02/09/2009The Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority banned sale of the food supplement ErMax Plus intended for enhancing potency (expiry date: November 2011) because it contained tadalafil, a substance which is forbidden for use in foodstuffs.
Tadalafil is contained in medicaments intended for the therapy of erectile dysfunction. However, these medicaments come through a demanding clinical testing and can be obtained only on medical prescription. Although the food supplement ErMax Plus was declared to be a natural product on the package, it contained much more tadalafil than approved pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, the product was freely available especially on the Internet. CAFIA was cautioned about this product by the State Institute for Drug Control.
Food supplement of Chinese origin was sold in packages containing four capsules. It was imported to the Czech Republic in the amount of 11 thousand packages by the company Zdravý životní styl s. r. o. from Uherské Hradiště.
The Inspection Authority banned sale of this product and ordered his immediate withdrawal from the market. It is recommended to consumers who can store this product still at home not to use it.
CAFIA informed about the case other EU member states by means of the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF).
