The Food Safety Administration on June 28 and July 1 granted Coca-Cola the necessary licenses for the food supplements. The health ministry Thursday fined Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Ltd VND433 million (US$19,300) for violating food safety regulations following an inspection it carried out last month. Nguyen Khoa My, external relations director of Coca-Cola Vietnam, said the company "totally abides" by the health ministry's decision. The company was also ordered to recall a batch of energy drink Samurai produced in May, which was found to contain less folic acid than claimed. He said the insufficient content of folic acid in the energy drink does not affect customers' health.
