    RICHMOND, B.C. — Health Canada is warning that it seized a number of unauthorized health products from a business in Richmond, B.C.
     
    The agency says it has seized 10 products from EPCA Shipping Inc., which it says is the Canadian distributor for Extreme Peptides, a company that sells health products online.
     
    Health Canada says in a news release that the seized products are labelled to contain various prescription drugs that could pose a serious health risk.
