How can we avoid purchase of unregistered products?
Consumers are advised to verify the existence of the License to Operate (LTO) of the establishment/outlet which should be conspicuously displayed and the existence of the applicable BFAD Product Registration Number on the label of the products intended to be bought. The absence of such information is indicative of possible illegal source/product.
Furthermore, consumers must ask for receipts of payment of purchased products reflecting the business name and address, Tax Identification Number (TIN), and name of printer (BIR Permit No.) with inclusive serial number of booklets and date of issuance of receipts and the description of the goods bought.
