Black Goat Extract Products Caught Inflating Ingredient Content

Black goat extract health foods have recently gained popularity as stamina-boosting meals.

However, a large number of companies have been caught falsely labeling ingredient content and running exaggerated advertisements.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced that it has caught 15 manufacturing businesses that falsely labeled and advertised the ingredient content of black goat extract foods, requested administrative actions from local governments, and referred them to investigative agencies.

The major violations include falsely labeling and advertising black goat content, and failing to indicate black goat content.

One company in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, labeled its product as containing 82% black goat, but the actual content was only 14.1%.

That is not all. A company in Geochang, Gyeongsangnam-do, labeled its product as containing 81% black goat extract without stating the actual amount of black goat contained in the extract. It turned out that the actual content was a mere 1%, with the rest being water.

An official from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety advised consumers that when purchasing black goat extract foods, they should not judge quality solely based on advertisements that excessively emphasize black goat content, but should carefully check labeling details.
