Natural Ginger, Corp/Jonaus Corp
FDA issued a warning letter to Natural Ginger, Corp/Jonaus Corp (owner Jose Ramirez, Medley, FL) after reviewing the company's website and Facebook page in June 2024. The agency found that marketing claims for six products — including ginger/honey/aloe syrups, AFA Blue Green Algae, Magnesium Complex, and Vitamin C capsules — characterized them as intended to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent diseases such as flu, coughs, sore throats, and inflammation, rendering them unapproved new drugs under the FD&C Act. Two of the syrup products were also found misbranded for lacking adequate directions for use. FDA demanded written corrective action within 15 working days and warned that failure to comply could result in seizure or injunction.
