By Park Jae-hyuk
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety accused Namyang Dairy Products of breaching the Act on Labeling and Advertising of Foods, Thursday, by announcing Bulgaris yogurt drinks were supposedly effective against COVID-19. Without animal experiments or clinical trials, Namyang announced Bulgaris was effective against COVID-19, the ministry said in a press release.
This came after the Korea Exchange (KRX) started an investigation into the dairy firm for alleged insider trading, following a momentary hike in its stock price which came following the announcement.
