Anvisa Prohibits Sale of All Labels

After banning two labels of the Backer Brewery for contamination, the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) suspended the sale of all beers produced by the company whose expiration date is equal to or after August 2020. The decision was made after the laboratory results released by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply revealed the presence of dietilenoglycol and monoethylene glycol substances in six other beer brands produced by Backer, in addition to belorizontin. According to the entity, traders must remove the product from the shelves.
