HÀ NỘI — Health Ministry inspectors have ordered the suspension of sale on three batches of beverages produced by URC Hà Nội Ltd Company.

The ban was enforced due to the amount of lead exceeding 0.05mg/L as printed on the products’ label.

The suspended products include one batch of lemon tea titled C2 and two batches of strawberry energy drinks named Rồng Đỏ (Red Dragon).

The company was asked to withdraw the drinks which were sold on the market and report the number of ingredients used to make illegal beverages to the Health Ministry.

The company involved will be allowed to resume sale of the drinks once their quality meets the ministry’s criteria.— VNS
