According to Anvisa, the preventive measure was taken after carrying out a health inspection at the São Paulo plant, where serious deficiencies in good manufacturing practices were identified.
The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) suspended, this Wednesday (29), the production, sale, distribution and use of all Fugini branded foods, based in Monte Alto, São Paulo. The company produces tomato sauces, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, french fries and canned vegetables.
According to Anvisa, the preventive measure was taken after carrying out a health inspection at the São Paulo plant, where serious deficiencies were found in good manufacturing practices relating to hygiene, quality control and safety of raw materials, control of parasites, traceability, among others. These defects can affect the quality and safety of the final product, the watchdog agency points out.
The suspension of marketing and distribution will only apply to products in stock at the company. The return to activities can only take place when the company adapts the manufacturing process of its products to the good manufacturing practices defined by Anvisa.
However, Anvisa will withdraw the lots of mayonnaise due to the use of out-of-date raw material. “Expired foods, including their raw materials, are considered unfit for consumption, according to the Consumer Defense Code, and their display for sale or consumption is considered a health offense. Therefore, the collection of foods aims to remove from the market products which present a risk or damage to the health of the consumer”, informs Anvisa.
