HÀ NỘI — The Việt Nam Food Administration (VFA) under the Ministry of Health has issued a warning to customers about several websites advertising substandard food supplements.

Ksol.vn advertises Ksol food supplements, while viensui-rockman.com advertises Rockman supplements and duocphamhocvienquany.com advertises Nano Fucomin.

The VFA said the above websites violated the law on advertising by misleading customers into thinking the supplements could treat diseases.

The VFA said it would co-operate with authorities to deal with the websites and tell customers not to buy from them. — VNS
