Herbalife, a global nutrition company, won the Golden Product for Community Health award for 2019 from the Viet Nam Functional Food Association at a ceremony held in Ha Noi last Saturday.

The winners were selected based on four criteria: the safety of their products, product quality and efficiency, high standards in business and production, and contributions to society and the community.

More than 500 products from domestic and foreign businesses in Việt Nam were considered for the awards.

Herbalife also received the award in 2016 and 2017.

The annual award honours functional products that are well-received in the market and have quality, safety and effectiveness on community health.

The award also honours businesses that comply with regulations and make efforts to conduct scientific research to develop new functional products that benefit consumers’ health.
