The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has clarified its stance on regulating products with spiritual claims following public inquiries about the ‘kayamata‘ men-charming potion.
The clarification was issued in response to a social media query directed at the FDA after influencer Hajia Bintu advertised kayamata, a product claimed to charm men among other powers.
This prompted citizens to question the FDA’s regulatory responsibilities regarding such products.
In an official response on their X account, the FDA stated, “Per the law, the FDA is not mandated to oversee products that make spiritual claims.”
The term ‘kayamata’ refers to products marketed with promises of enhancing personal relationships, attracting partners, or boosting allure through purported spiritual means.
These products have garnered significant attention and popularity on social media, raising public concerns about their safety and efficacy.
