Beware of False Claims

I was in Ho Chi Minh last month when I met up with a trader who was interested in buying Hawaiian spirulina from our company. I was also shown the trader's own brand of feedgrade spirulina which he intended to pack himself. I actually have no objection for him to repack any spirulina under his own brand and thought that was a smart thing to do. However upon careful examination of the label, there was a claim "Manufactured by Cyanotech" on his label. According to him, the content of his spirulina was sourced from a third party but not directly from Cyanotech or my company who is the official and exclusive distributor of Cyanotech products in Asean countries. Further he claimed to have processed the product. Whilst I could give him the benefit of the doubt that the spirulina he is packing could be from Hawaii, to claim the brand being "Manufactured by Cyanotech" was very misleading. The world is a very interesting place where people get very creative commercially. For those of you who are looking for cheap "genuine" products and when in doubt, it is always advisable to double check with the original producer or the official distributor. Caveat Emptor, if you buy from unofficial party
