It's about a health food being warned by HSA for containing potent medicinal ingredients which could cause negative side effects to the consumers.

As a wise consumer, reading the ingredient label is important. 

So you will know the product is made of what kind of ingredient - whether is it wholesome natural ingredient or synthetic (chemical) ingredient. 

However, some hidden harmful chemicals may not put up on the ingredient label by the manufacturers, putting the consumer's health AT RISK! 

Therefore, as a wise consumer, we need to look for a product not only effective, MOST IMPORTANTLY it must BE SAFE!! 

• To me, I will look for products which receive Safety Certificates such as "Food Safety Excellence Award" by Singapore AVA. 

• Which safety testings are important in ensuring food product safety?

• Check out my previous post on "QUALITY CONTROL IS IMPORTANT FOR A FOOD MANUFACTURER":
