UPDATE: April 11, 2023: Additional unauthorized health product seized from Paris Natural Foods may pose serious health risks Health Canada is warning consumers that an additional unauthorized health product, Bio-Love, seized from Paris Natural Foods, was tested and found to contain tadalafil and caffeine . Refer to the Affected Products table for information on the seized product, and to the section below on what you should do. Original advisory: February 20, 2023: Health Canada seized unauthorized health products from two natural food stores in Sudbury, Ontario, because the products are labelled to contain prescription or controlled drugs, which may pose serious health risks. The unauthorized products include prescription-strength vitamin D3 supplements, hormones in capsule and cream format, and a sexual enhancement product. Selling unauthorized health products in Canada is illegal. Unauthorized health products have not been approved by Health Canada, which means that they have not been assessed for safety, efficacy and quality and may pose a range of serious health risks. For example, they could contain high-risk ingredients, such as prescription drugs, additives or contaminants that may or may not be listed on the label. These ingredients could interact with other medications and foods. In addition, these products may not actually contain the active ingredients that consumers would expect them to contain to help maintain and improve their health. Prescription drugs should only be used under the advice and supervision of a health care professional because they are used to treat specific conditions and may cause serious side effects. Prescription drugs can only be legally sold with a prescription.
