Sage Moon Apothecary LLC was cited for selling unapproved drugs through their websites and social media, including "Golden Milk Electuary," "Golden Milk Electuary-Mushroom Cocoa Blend," and "Beyond Elderberry Syrup," which violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA determined these products were drugs based on claims made on their Etsy, website, and Facebook pages indicating the products could treat, mitigate, or prevent disease—specifically that the Golden Milk product relieved joint pain and arthritis symptoms and could replace prescription pain medications and anti-inflammatories. The company failed to obtain FDA approval for these new drugs before introducing them into interstate commerce, a requirement under federal law.
