“Unauthorized health products have not been approved by Health Canada, which means that they have not been assessed for safety, effectiveness and quality,” the government agency said.

Anyone who purchased a product listed on the table should stop using it immediately and consult a doctor if they have health concerns.

Product labels will specify if it has been authorized for sale by Health Canada with an eight-digit Drug Identification Number, Natural Product Number or Homeopathic Drug Number.

Shoppers can also find out whether products have been authorized for sale by searching Health Canada’s Drug Product Database and Licensed Natural Health Product Database.

This is not the first time the west Edmonton store has had products seized. According to the online list, the store had similar products seized in April 2021 as well.
