Dar es Salaam. The government has announced a nationwide crackdown on online traders selling unregistered health products, particularly cosmetics and medicines, as regulators move to protect the public from unsafe goods circulating on social media platforms.
The move, led by the Ministry of Health, follows the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), outlining strict requirements that must be met before such products can be legally sold.
