NutriAsia, the manufacturer of beloved Filipino condiments such as Mang Tomas, UFC, and Jufran, has resumed shipping its products to the United States. The company has reformulated its products to adhere to new regulations set forth by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
A recent scare over a potential ban on these products led to panic buying among Filipino-Americans. NutriAsia clarified that the temporary halt in shipments was due to updated regulations regarding Potassium Iodate, a common food additive. While this ingredient is legally required in the Philippines, the US FDA has recently implemented stricter guidelines.
The company emphasized that this is not a safety concern but rather a regulatory issue that varies by country. NutriAsia remains committed to consumer safety and has swiftly complied with the new regulations.
Reformulated versions of these popular sauces are now available to US consumers, ensuring continued access to these Filipino culinary staples.
