HEALTH HAZARD WARNING - Health Canada warns consumers not to take products containing chaparral

Chaparral sold as food in bulk and in any size package under any brand should not be consumed due to risk of liver and kidney problems.

The following Warning was issued by Health Canada on December 21, 2005.

Health Canada is warning consumers not to ingest the herb chaparral in the form of loose leaves, teas, capsules or bulk herbal products because of the risk of liver and kidney problems.

Health Canada is currently aware of several products on the Canadian market (see appended table) intended for oral consumption that contain chaparral, including leaves in bulk packages. The manufacturers/importers are asking retailers to remove the listed products from their shelves.

Health Canada has also sent a letter to food and natural health product associations asking them to disseminate information on the safety, availability and use of chaparral to their members.

A Customs Alert has been issued by Health Canada to prevent the importation of the natural health products listed in this advisory.

It is possible that other chaparral-containing oral products are on the market, therefore consumers are urged to check food and natural health product labels carefully. Health Canada will update the list of products as required.

Consumers should stop ingesting retail products containing chaparral and seek medical attention if they have experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, fatigue or jaundice (e.g. dark urine, yellow discolouration of the eyes). To date, Health Canada has received one report of acute hepatitis associated with chaparral ingestion.

Chaparral-containing topical products - such as ointments, creams and lotions - have not been associated with the adverse effects described above.

Chaparral refers to three plant species: Larrea tridentata, Larrea divaricata and Larrea mexicana, which may also be called creosote bush, greasewood, or hediondilla. The shrub grows in the western United States and parts of Mexico, and is used traditionally by the indigenous people of these regions to treat such conditions as arthritis, cancer, tuberculosis, bowel cramps, diarrhea, venereal disease, colds and bronchitis. No chaparral-containing products are currently approved by Health Canada for any use.

Canadians should only use drugs and natural health products that have been authorized for sale by Health Canada. Authorized drugs and natural health products will bear either an eight-digit Drug Identification Number (DIN), a Natural Product Number (NPN) or a Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM).

Consumers and health care professionals may report any health product-related adverse reaction suspected as being associated with chaparral by contacting Health Canada toll-free by telephone at (866) 234-2345 or by fax at (866) 678-6789.

Any food-related adverse reactions suspected as being associated with chaparral may be reported to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Telephone the Canadian Food Inspection Agency toll-free at 1-800-442-2342 to obtain the phone number for your province.

Table: Health Canada identified the following Chaparral-containing products on the Canadian market*:
Chaparral sold as food in bulk and in any size package under any brand
Hanna's Herbal Special Teas- LYM? (Formerly Lymph Tea)
Kroeger Herb Products Co., Inc. Boulder, Colorado
Strauss Healthy Cell Tea
Strauss Herb Co. Kamloops, British Columbia
Strauss Lymphatic Capsules
Strauss Herb Co. Kamloops, British Columbia

IMPORTED NON-DAIRY PRODUCTS CONTAINING UNDECLARED MILK INGREDIENTS

OTTAWA, August 10, 2006 - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising consumers with milk allergies and those caring for persons with milk allergies, to exercise caution when purchasing or offering imported products such as instant coffee, tea or dry cereal mixes from some Asian countries, as there may be a risk of undeclared milk ingredients in the product.

An ongoing investigation by the CFIA has determined that various imported instant coffee and instant tea premixes, as well as instant cereal products declare ?non-dairy creamer? in their ingredient list but contain milk ingredients.

Undeclared milk usually does not represent a hazard to the majority of consumers; however, for those sensitive or allergic to milk ingredients, consumption of affected products could result in a serious or life-threatening reaction.

The CFIA is working with Canadian importers to identify all affected products that were distributed in Canada. The importers of these products are voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace. As the presence of milk protein is not declared on the label, these recalls are accompanied by an Allergy Alert.

All public warnings and Allergy Alerts are distributed to the media, and are also posted on the CFIA?s Web site. Internet users can subscribe to receive these notices, which provide specific information to assist consumers in identifying potentially hazardous products. The CFIA encourages those consumers with allergies and sensitivities to take advantage of this service.

For a complete list of the affected products identified to date, and for more information on identifying potentially hazardous products, visit the Food Recalls and Allergy Alerts section of the CFIA?s Web site: www.inspection.gc.ca.

Consumers and industry can also call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday).
