GNC agrees to changes to avoid sale of unlawful products
DALLAS — Federal authorities say nutritional supplement retailer GNC Holdings has agreed to alter its practices to avoid selling unlawful dietary products.
In a statement Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department said GNC’s efforts to ensure the legality of products on its shelves are “lacking.”
Pittsburgh-based GNC, the world’s largest dietary supplement retailer, will pay a $2.25 million fine in the agreement with the Justice Department.
Investigators found GNC allowed a misbranded supplement to be sold at its stores in 2013.
