Argentina Bans 'Ingenia' Pool Disinfectant Over Labeling Irregularities and Missing Certification

ANMAT’s Disposition 76/2026 orders immediate withdrawal to protect users during peak pool season.

Overview

  • The health authority halted use, sale, and distribution nationwide of all presentations of the product labeled as Ingenia.
  • Inspectors found a labeling mismatch with the bottle showing Ingenia while the cap read Clorotech, undermining identification and traceability.
  • ANMAT determined the disinfectant lacked mandatory national certification and classified it as Risk 2, which requires prior evaluation.
  • A sanitary proceeding was opened against Servicios Bioaguas S.R.L., which acknowledged being the declared manufacturer of the formula.
  • Provincial regulators and the advertising monitoring program were notified to remove online listings until the product’s status is regularized.
