This measure was imposed because Barney’s ginseng, manufactured by Premium Quality Product of Canada, and imported to the Czech Republic by Fortius Canada, was treated with ionizing radiation, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) said.

"Food supplements are banned from being treated with ionizing radiation, in accordance with Decree of the Ministry of Health No 133/2004 Coll., on irradiation conditions for foodstuffs and raw materials, on the maximum tolerable dose of radiation and on the means of identifying radiation on the packaging", CAFIA said in a statement.
