FDA US marshals seize elderberry juice concentrate- 'unapproved drug'

Wyldewood Cellars, a Kansas-based producer and distributor of elderberry juice, is the latest raid target of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which recently sent US marshals to the company's winery in Mulvane to confiscate the "unapproved drug." According to the rogue agency, Wyldewood had violated provisions in the US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) that restrict health claims for food items, warranting the sudden invasion.

Perhaps the MOST shocking element is not the seizing- but the raiding???

No, it's NOT LEGAL to make claims EVEN ones backed by science.

It must be FDA approved claims, meaning you must pay for the privilege of making the claim.

In many cases, you can't even link to studies about it.

ELDERBERRY IS NOT ILLEGAL.

The law they broke was MAKING MEDICAL CLAIMS which then turns the thing they make the claim about, into "a drug".

You can sell all the elderberry you want... so long as you post disclaimers that "this is not intended to diagnose, cure, or treat any disease" blah blah blah.

A disclaimer could have saved their asses.

According to the article, they confiscated the elderberry. That is pretty harsh for an identically legal substance that has different packaging.

If so how can anyone be shocked they were taken down? Making those kind of claims is just irresponsible and yes criminal.

This is why Marijuana is illegal. Big Phamra cannot PATENT naturally occurring plants or minerals so they will just BAN IT.

It used to boggle my mind that such things could happen: ban plants that grow in your own backyard (no I am not refering to the Marijuana!).

But things lik raw almonds, and Amish farmers selling raw milk, on and on.

Is it going to get worse or are people going to stand up and say no?

Which side do you think is going to win?
