New Zealand health authorities are investigating what they feel to be extravagant health claims by companies trying to sell goji juice as a cure for cancer. In New Zealand, that kind of health claim is illegal. That kind of health claim is illegal in the United States as well.

Note that this article by the Cancer Blog is a generic report and does not involve Freelife or its Marketing Executives (that’s dealers and distributors in simple terms). Unfortunately for Freelife, a major manufacturer of Goji products, any bad publicity regarding Goji in general reflects badly on all the companies involved in products derived from or created with Goji Berries. Freelife makes great effort to educate their distributors regarding their obligations.

The Policies and Procedures, Marketing Executive Agreement, The FreeLife Way, Public Meeting Agreements signed by event hosts and Royal Ambassadors event hosts, all clearly state that no medical claims or drug claims may be made about FreeLife products, directly or in the form of testimonials:

I will not make any therapeutic or medical claims in connection with the marketing or sale of any FreeLife International product. Not only do such claims violate FreeLife’s polices, but they also violate federal laws and regulations, including those administered by the food and drug regulatory agencies in your country.

FreeLife has also worked with the Direct Selling Association of Australia, of which FreeLife is member, who teamed up with the Complementary Healthcare Council of Australia to produce a flyer regarding juice claims. This was a cooperative effort that was created for distribution to Australian and New Zealand marketers, distributors and retailers to educate them on the legalities of distributing juice products.
