        The problem is that the items sent for tests and certification can be different from that eventually put onto the shelves.

          Most of the consumers searching slim products online without knowing where it came from. A lot of slim product hot selling in Malaysia from those reseller and there claim that it was approved by their MOH...
          They ever never check the products content or visit the showroom, just base on those reseller comment online.
          I did check with one of the reseller in Malaysia for the slim product named Thinsline (Approved by Malaysia MOH), some more having ISO logo... But when I asked for the Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) certificate, the reply from them was \" We failed the inspection\".
          At least, consumers have to search for the good & bad comments online, know the product content and product origin. All lot of such Slim products was imported into Malaysia and REPACK. So consumers will just purchased from the reseller online ... 🤷
          Compare to those Quality Slim products in Singapore, at least it have the HSA certificate and it was safe to use.
          Can't understand why some consumers like to look to cheap price but much to good quality, reliable ... How to conpare a branded LV bag with a bag cost $20 . :? End up having side effect and waste money and time.
          Price cheap don't mean good. Pay for peanut price and u will only get a peanut! šŸ˜†

            ISO is a certification of process compliance not a certification of product.
