Deggeh Foods, Inc. Warning Letter Details

Summary

Deggeh Foods, Inc. was cited for marketing four herbal products—Actibest® Health Plus Capsules, Best Hemorrhoids Rapid Action Herbal Healing Formula, StomachAID capsules, and Moringa Tea Bags—as unapproved new drugs with disease claims on product labels, website, and Facebook pages, violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The company's marketing materials made therapeutic claims including "instant relief" and disease treatment/mitigation language that established the products as drugs requiring FDA approval, which they lacked. The violations were identified during an FDA inspection conducted from November 2021 to January 2022 and confirmed through subsequent review of the company's website and social media in June 2022.
