Important!
The Management of the National Industrial Company, NICOM, has described as unauthorized and manipulated production stamp of a widely circulated fruit juice, strongly warning the public against its consumption.
NICOM in a statement released Thursday, it says, the product carries a marking labeled “HFG”, with a purported production date of June 23, 2028, and an expiration date of March 22, 2027 as the markings are inconsistent with its approved production and packaging standards.
NICOM's Management indicated that the company’s authorized production stamp carries the designation “MFG”, and not “HFG", stating that consumers can use the approved marking, along with the bottle, packaging, and established date format, to distinguish genuine NICOM products from unauthorized ones.
The Company emphasized that it is particularly concerned that the product bearing the “HFG” stamp could create confusion among consumers because the bottle and bottling style reportedly differ from those of its original products.
NICOM has categorically disassociated itself from the product, stressing that it did not authorize, manufacture, package, stamp, distribute, or approve the fruit juice bearing the unauthorized “HFG” marking.
In this regard, NICOM strongly calling on consumers, wholesalers, retailers, distributors, and other business operators to exercise extreme caution when purchasing or handling products presented as NICOM fruit juice.
NICOM is advising consumers to carefully examine the bottle, packaging, production stamp, and expiration markings before purchasing or consuming the product.
