Resumen

This Act amends several laws specified in the first column of the Schedule. The amendments concern new Boards to be constituted under this Act. In the Pharmacy and Poisons Act various amendments are made including the definition of "health product" and "medical device" (which relate also to animals). A new section 50A defines the offence of engaging in the manufacture, importation, exportation, compounding, storage, promotion or distribution of medicinal substances— (a) that is unfit for use in humans or in animals; (b) that is adulterated; (c) that has upon it any natural or added deleterious substances which renders it injurious to human or animal health; (d) that has been manufactured, prepared, preserved, packaged or stored for sale under insanitary and or unfavourable conditions; (e) that has been labeled, packaged or promoted in a manner that is false, misleading, deceptive or likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its source, character, value, quality, composition, potency, merit or safety; or (f) any counterfeit starting materials. In the Nutritionists and Dieticians Act definitions relating to food are added. In that Act, also new provision is made in respect of the Council and the Accreditation Committee.
