Brazil Bans Four More Olive Oil Brands for Fraud, Bringing 2025 Tally to 25

Newly disqualified brands are Royal, Godio, La Vitta and Santa Lucia after official analyses deemed them unfit for consumption. Authorities say a total or partial sales ban now covers 25 olive oil brands in 2025 under actions by the Ministry of Agriculture and Anvisa. Selling adulterated oil constitutes a serious infraction, with recalls ordered and establishments subject to accountability. Consumers who bought affected products should stop using them, request substitution under the Consumer Defense Code and file complaints via Fala.BR. People can verify irregular products through Anvisa’s falsified‑product search and check company registration in the Ministry’s CGC/Sipeagro, with officials also citing frequent issues like adulteration, lack of CNPJ, sanitary noncompliance and labeling failures.
