Original story follows

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a new list of unregistered food and food supplements on Wednesday and warned the public against buying and consuming the products. Included in the list is a popular brand of liver spread, Reno.

The items included in FDA’s latest advisory are:

• RENO BRAND Livers Spread
• MIRACLE WHITE Advance Whitening Capsules Food Supplement
• TURCUMIN 100% Natural & Standardized Turmeric Curcumin
• DESA Spanish Style Bangus in Corn Oil
• SAMANTHA’S DIPS AND SAUCE Spanish Sardines Paste Sauce

According to the advisory posted on the website, upon verification, the food products and food supplements mentioned above “are not registered and no corresponding Certificates of Product Registration (CPR) have been issued.” These have not gone through the evaluation process of the FDA, so the agency “cannot assure its quality and safety.”
