The National Institute for Drug and Food Surveillance (Invima) said that this year in Colombia 40 Foodborne Disease (STD) events have been detected in different regions of the country. Cheese is the protagonist in the framework of the School Food Program (PAE).
The entity received a complaint from the community of a place where dairy products were being processed irregularly, “visits are requested to several cheese factories that operate informally and market their products without health registration in the district of La Paz in the municipality of Guaduas-Cundinamarca”.
After this call, Invima visited the place on 28 and 29 March, it was evident the irregular production of different products.
Officials arrived at the cheese and dairy factory 'La Reina' in Guaduas, Cundinamarca, and they found inconsistencies in the manufacture of various foods.
During the inspection, 50 kilos of fresh cheese and 320 liters of milk were found, products that pose a risk to human health, because they did not have the minimum conditions for their preparation.
The exact moment when the officials of the entity entered the place without written authorization to destroy several blocks of cheeses and hundreds of liters of milk that were there, they poured chlorine into the food without any argument, they did not allow the food to be given away.
For its part, Invima highlighted the poor hygiene conditions of all the products, so they were destroyed, as they represent a risk to public health.
In addition, Invima confirmed that this establishment has had an unfavorable concept since October 8, 2013, after a series of visits, as it had a health measure that suspended all work and services.
Invima launched a health alert for the fraudulent marketing of “NOVAFOR-NOVACOLLAGEN-NOVAFIB” products on digital platforms and advertising guidelines. This consists of a powdered and/or granulated food based on pea protein distributed by the company JM Salud y Belleza.
In their statement, Invima detailed that the problem with this product is that it is promoted as a treatment for the management of joint pain, declaring health, preventive, curative and/or therapeutic properties, which leads to non-compliance with current health legislation (articles 272 and 274 of Law 9 of 1979 and the resolution 5109 of 2005 — articles 4 and 5).
The entity also added the profiles and links of the publications that were promoting this product in this way. However, what has caught the attention of this case is that the company that distributes this powdered food belongs to businessman José Millán, who in recent days was reported for mistreating his employees.
