Brazil ANVISA Regulated Products & Cosmetics/Supplements Verifier (MCP)

Verify whether cosmetics, dietary supplements, foods, medical devices, and sanitizers sold in Brazil are regularized with ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) — in real time via Batch Dataset Runs or as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for AI Agents.

---

Why Use This Actor?

Every cosmetic, dietary supplement, food product, medical device, and household/hospital sanitizer marketed in Brazil must hold a valid registration (Registro) or notification (Notificação / Comunicado) with ANVISA, Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency.

Manually checking products on consultas.anvisa.gov.br is slow, rate-limited by anti-bot protections, and requires navigating separate portals for each category.

Brazil ANVISA Regulated Products & Cosmetics/Supplements Verifier (MCP) streams directly from ANVISA’s official Open Data (dados.anvisa.gov.br) in constant memory (256 MB RAM) with immediate early-stop once your target count is reached:

• 5 Official ANVISA Registries in One Unified Schema:
  1. cosmetics — Cosmetics, Perfumes & Personal Hygiene (Cosméticos, Perfumes e Produtos de Higiene Pessoal — TA_CONSULTA_COSMETICOS.CSV)
  2. supplements — Dietary Supplements, Sports Nutrition & Vitamin/Mineral Supplements (Suplementos Alimentares e Alimentos para Atletas — filtered from TA_CONSULTA_ALIMENTOS.CSV)
  3. foods — Regulated Foods, Infant Formulas, Enteral Nutrition & Novel Foods (Alimentos Registrados — TA_CONSULTA_ALIMENTOS.CSV)
  4. medical_devices — Medical Devices, Implants, Equipment & In-Vitro Diagnostics (Produtos para a Saúde / Correlatos — TA_CONSULTA_PRODUTOS_SAUDE.CSV)
  5. sanitizers — Household, Hospital & Industrial Sanitizers/Disinfectants (Saneantes — TA_CONSULTA_SANEANTES.CSV)
• Smart Auto-Detection of Query Type:
  • Product Name / Active Ingredient / Brand (accent- and case-insensitive, e.g., whey protein, creatina, protetor solar, ácido hialurônico)
  • Manufacturer or Importer Name (Razão Social, e.g., Natura, Boticário, Integralmedica)
  • 14-Digit Brazilian CNPJ (formatted 00.000.000/0001-00 or digits-only 00000000000100)
  • ANVISA Registration or Process Number (NU_REGISTRO / NU_PROCESSO)
• Single-Pass Multi-Query Batching: Pass up to 100 queries separated by newlines or semicolons (;) and scan each ANVISA registry in a single streaming pass.
• Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server: Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, or CrewAI to /mcp in Standby mode so AI agents can verify Brazilian regulatory compliance on demand.
