Sellers of misleading vitamin pills have not yet paid fines

Six years after the coronavirus pandemic, sellers of vitamin pills that, according to the Consumers' Association, made misleading health claims have not yet paid fines. Het Parool reports.

In 2020, the Consumers' Association filed a complaint with the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) about these pills. According to the association, the products falsely gave the impression that they offered protection against the coronavirus.

According to the newspaper, the NVWA has imposed fines, but these have not yet been paid. Het Parool does not report why the fines have not yet been paid. The sellers have not responded to the newspaper's request.
