The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) ordered the seizure of the Ultra Shape weight-loss product on November 9. According to the Brazilian agency, the product has no registration, notification or listing with the health surveillance authorities.
The resolution, published in the Federal Official Gazette, states that the advertising and sale of the weight-loss product, manufactured by an unknown company, were confirmed.
The resolution also provides for the seizure of medicines from Ciência da Natureza Eireli. According to Anvisa, they are not registered and the company is not authorized to manufacture them. Agência Brasil contacted the company and was awaiting a response.
