Ministry of Health demands removal of Sausando slimming pills sold on Shopee

The Food Safety Authority, an agency under Vietnam's Ministry of Health, has issued a directive for the removal of Sausando Slimming capsule from the e-commerce platform Shopee. This decision was made after authorities discovered that the weight-loss supplement was being advertised and sold on Shopee without having completed the necessary legal procedures. Specifically, the product had not been granted a registration certificate for its public announcement, as required by current food safety regulations. Selling functional food products without a public announcement certificate violates regulations designed to protect consumer rights and health. This demand underscores the importance of adhering to legal requirements in online business activities, particularly for products that directly impact human health. Shopee is expected to comply with this request to ensure legal compliance and safeguard consumers from unverified or unapproved products.

Key points
* The Food Safety Authority requested Shopee to remove Sausando Slimming capsule.
* The product was advertised and sold without a valid registration certificate.
* This measure aims to ensure legal compliance and protect consumer health.
