Food safety officers conducted a raid at a health-food
drink centre at Anna Nagar here on Wednesday following complaints from
consumers of health problems.
A team led by M.
Jagadis Chandrabose, District Designated Officer, enquired those
involved in promoting the product on the pretext of herbal medicine.
Dr.
Chandrabose said that obese men and women were hoodwinked into buying
the product, which had no documentary evidence to market. Moreover, the
centre was being manned by persons with no knowledge of health and
medicine, Dr. Chandrabose said after the investigation.
The
team said it never seemed to have maintained standards for consumption.
Hence, the officers had collected samples and sent to testing
laboratory in Tirunelveli.
