ANMAT banned all products from a brand in Argentina and ordered the withdrawal of its sale and distribution
The restriction will remain in effect until the products are duly regularized with the relevant authority.
The investigation began during inspection and monitoring activities carried out by the Household Products Service. During those procedures, ANMAT detected that Qualibest was offering various items without a valid health registration.
The agency also noted previous records of products registered by Quali Química S.R.L. and Química Erpe S.R.L..
The registrations of both companies in the National Registry of Establishments were canceled through provisions issued in 2024 and 2022, respectively.
As a consequence of those cancellations, the corresponding registrations for their products also lost validity.
The ANMAT sent a notification to the address where the firms operated, located in Ciudadela, the Buenos Aires party of Tres de Febrero.
According to the agency, it did not receive a response to that notification. Additionally, the health authority of the province of Buenos Aires indicated that it had no records of those items in its jurisdiction.
According to the provision, the conditions of production and formulation of Qualibest products are unknown.
For this reason, ANMAT stated that it cannot guarantee their quality, safety, or efficacy.
In light of this situation, the agency decided to proactively withdraw all Qualibest products affected by the measure from the market.
The ANMAT prohibited the use, sale, advertising, and distribution of all batches of Qualibest products, a brand of cleaning products in Argentina.
The measure also applies to e-commerce platforms and will remain in effect until the items are regularized.
The Disposición 5292/2026, published in the Official Bulletin, applies to all batches of products identified with the Qualibest brand.
Cleaners.
Odor eliminators.
Disinfectants.
Aromatizers.
Surface finishing products.
Any other household product identified with the Qualibest brand.
