MFH Enterprises Inc. contracted NuEra Nutraceutical Inc. to put 27 kilograms of powder into capsules that ended up containing large quantities of the erectile dysfunction drug tadalafil instead of an herbal sexual enhancement remedy.

Health Canada pulled a Richmond manufacturing company's licence after drugs it put into capsules and blister packs were seized at sex shops in Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver in 2021, according to information presented in court.

One of the products, Harmony, was obtained by a Health Canada inspector posing as a customer at the Love in Love shop at 4554 Kingsway in Burnaby in December 2020.Chen, whose company provides contract manufacturing and packaging services, said NuEra filled three orders for MFH, in 2016, 2018 and 2020, producing nearly 100,000 Harmony capsules from powder supplied by MFH.

That same month, capsules of Harmony obtained by a Health Canada inspector at Love in Love turned out to contain large quantities of tadalafil, sparking an investigation.
