Overview

  • On July 15, Cofepris and the Secretaría de Salud de Michoacán issued a sanitary alert after a technical-documentary analysis and sanitary surveillance flagged violations.
  • Investigators determined that Biovita’s labeling and advertising falsely promise weight loss, metabolism acceleration and vitamin supplementation without scientific support.
  • The alert warns that unknown ingredient sources, unsanitary handling and possible drug interactions may endanger consumer health.
  • Regulators detected Biovita being sold online, on social media, in retail stores and by independent distributors without approval for its claims.
  • Consumers are urged to stop using Biovita and to report any detected sales to [email protected] as enforcement activities continue.
