NVWA imposed fines for false vitamin claims during corona times, but not a single cent has been paid

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) imposed fines on companies that made incorrect health claims about vitamins during the coronavirus pandemic. These claims suggested that vitamins offered protection against the virus, which was not scientifically substantiated.

According to the Pzc, the fines have amounted to high sums, but six years later it appears that not a single cent has been paid. The NVWA confirms that the fines have not been paid yet, but does not provide a reason for the delay.

The Pzc reports that the NVWA is still handling the case. It is unclear when the fines will be paid and whether further actions will be taken against the companies.
