Argentina’s ANMAT Bans Falsified ‘Quemador Natural’ Weight-Loss Supplement Nationwide

The agency said a fake registration number and unknown composition prompted a public alert with a referral to federal investigators.

Overview

  • Disposición 6132/2025, published on August 21, prohibits the use, distribution and commercialization of all presentations, lots and expiration dates of the product across Argentina.
  • The item was marketed on social media as “Quemador Natural - Natural Gym - Té Verde Centella Asiática,” labeled as over-the-counter and “Industria Argentina,” and cited the non-existent ANMAT identifier PM-2097.
  • Labeling referenced a medical prescription, suggesting a fórmula magistral, yet it lacked required pharmacy identification and composition details that Argentine rules mandate for such preparations.
  • ANMAT issued a public health alert and filed a complaint with the Policía Federal’s Division of Crimes against Public Health; the case is lodged with Fiscalía Federal Nº 1 in San Isidro.
  • Authorities notified provincial and CABA health offices, and the move extends a recent enforcement drive that has also targeted unregistered supplements such as an imported Wondercow colostrum product.
