- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:Fedral Trade Commission Warning Letter to The Raw Food World
On May 14, 2020 the Federal Trade Commission sent Matt Monarch at The Raw Food World a warning regarding the unlawful advertising that certain products or sevices treat or prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). FTC staff has reviewed social media posts made by Mr. Monarch with The Raw Food World and notified him that it is unlawful under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq., to advertise that a product or service can prevent, treat, or cure human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, well-controlled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made. For COVID-19, no such study is currently known to exist for the product or service identified above. Thus, any coronavirus-related prevention or treatment claims regarding such product or service are not supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. FTC asked Mr. Monarch to immediately cease making such claims.
The Federal Trade Commission gave Mr. Monarch 48 hours to provide specific actions that it is taking to address the FTC's concerns.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
