新 聞 及 資 訊   FDA warns consumers to avoid Vita Breath dietary supplement (English only)   The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase nor consume Vita Breath, a dietary supplement manufactured by American Herbal Lab Inc. of Rosemead, Calif., and marketed at health fairs and on the Internet, because the product may contain hazardous levels of lead. The FDA was notified by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene about a patient with lead poisoning who reported taking Vita Breath and two other herbal products. The department analyzed a sample of Vita Breath and reported it contained 1,100 parts per million of lead. This level is more than 10,000 times higher than FDA’s maximum recommended level for lead in candy. Please refer to the following website in FDA for details: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm210448.htm In Hong Kong, Vita Breath is not registered.
