NZ Muscle Scandal Expands | Auckland News

NZ Muscle’s scandal just got bigger — the Commerce Commission is now investigating 41 allegations against the supplement giant, plus five other Kiwi brands dragged into the spotlight. The mess started when a viral video accused NZ Muscle of selling expired goods and passing off cheap imports as premium New Zealand-made products. The company apologized, pulled items, and the Ministry for Primary Industries ordered recalls — while founder Dion Roosenbrand stepped down after 20 years, handing over to boxer David Letele, who quit within a week amid public outrage and threats. Roosenbrand remains involved as agencies probe potential Fair Trading Act breaches (with fines up to $600K) and Food Act violations (now handed to Auckland Council, which found no major safety risks — though an independent audit is still pending). This could drag on for months, possibly heading to court. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
