What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Brazil’s health regulator, Anvisa, banned two Amazon listings for Accu-Chek Active glucose test strips, calling the products falsified. The resolution, published on October 22, 2026, prohibits the sale, distribution, manufacture, import, advertising, and use of the listed items. Hoffmann-La Roche disputes the term counterfeit, stating the strips are genuine stock that was sold illegally. Roche reported finding the sales itself and notified Anvisa immediately.
