On June 4, the Australian Drug Administration (TGA) issued an emergency recall warning for two functional food products of the Nature's Own brand due to the risk of containing glass shards inside the product container.
According to information from the TGA, the affected products include Nature's Own Glucosamine Sulfate with Chondroitin (320 tablets) and Nature's Own Magnesium Glycinate 1150mg (300 tablets), both with expiration dates until April 2028.
The Food Safety Department (Ministry of Health) proposed voluntary recall of two health protection products distributed by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare Company in Vietnam, in order to ensure the rights and health of consumers.
Two products under recall request include:
Nature's Own Glucosamine Sulfate with Chondroitin (320 tablets), lot number 1662937, expiry date until April 2028.
Nature's Own Magnesium Glycinate 1150mg (300 tablets), lot number 1665576, expiry date until April 2028.
According to the Food Safety Department, the two products are distributed by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare (belonging to Sanofi Group) and have been widely sold in the Australian market since May 7, 2026.
Through reviewing the registration dossier of the product announcement, functional agencies found that it is necessary to check and compare information related to the announcement of the above-mentioned health protection products.
To ensure safety for consumers, the Food Safety Department has requested the Departments of Health of provinces and cities to review the registration of declarations and self-declarations for related products.
Work with product announcers (if any), request notification to distributors and consumers about stopping product use, and at the same time carry out recalls according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Report the quantity of products that have been imported, circulated and the results of recall to the management agency for synthesis and handling according to regulations.
The Food Safety Department recommends that consumers who are using the above-mentioned product batches should monitor information from manufacturers and functional agencies, and contact distributors for guidance if necessary.
The Food Safety Department (Ministry of Health) also sent a document to the Industry Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) together with the Departments of Health, Food Safety Departments, and Sub-Departments of Food Safety of provinces and cities requesting urgent review and inspection of the circulation of related products on the market.
The Food Safety Department said that the review is to ensure consumer health safety, and at the same time requested localities to strengthen supervision, promptly detect and handle if warning products appear on the Vietnamese market.
According to warnings from Australian authorities, the use of products with the risk of glass fragments may cause damage to users. Consumers who are using batches of products under warning are advised to stop using and monitor information from manufacturers as well as authorities.
The Food Safety Department said that it will continue to coordinate with relevant units to update information and have appropriate handling measures to protect public health.
