The FDA warned 10 companies for illegally selling dietary supplements that claim to cure, treat, mitigate, or prevent chronic diseases, like diabetes mellitus. The Administration urges consumers not to consume products that have not been evaluated by the FDA to be safe or effective for their intended use.
In Perú, the General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies, and Drugs (DIGEMID) oversees the dietary supplement market. The agency registers nutritional supplements, inspects manufacturing facilities and warehouses, monitors product testing, and drafts policies and laws regarding supplements imported to and sold in Perú.
