The powerful debate between Kali Muscle and Marc Lobliner is ongoing and possibly at its peak up until now. After Muscle called out Lobliner’s TigerFitness to produce bars that lead to cancer, the 43-year-old bodybuilder is after Kali Muscle; agitated as ever. Although Marc Lobliner could defend his products with FDA certificates for their quality checks, he called out Kali Muscle for the lack of it.

Kali Muscle had a small business of Crackies cookies not so long ago, however, it is not available in the market anymore. Even in his first video, Marc Lobliner insinuated how these cookies were made in a questionable way which is not fit for consumption. This time, the IFBB Pro bodybuilder exposed what truly went wrong with Crackies, and why it needed to be shut down once and for all.

At the beginning of his video, Marc Lobliner explained how he always believed that food laws are extremely necessary to protect people, and hence he drew out his own papers, which the FDA certifies. He tried explaining why Kali Muscle had to shut down his own line of food products. Moreover, Lobliner also sarcastically commented, Real reason Crackies is gone, in my opinion; it could be other reasons, like nobody bought them, is because they were violating FDA law and the FDA told them to shut down; now, I don’t know if the FDA actually did that.”

Then, Lobliner went on to explain that Muscle’s business had received complaints regarding a “non-compliant home-based cookie business.” The complaint talked about how the whole business and its products did not have much transparency. It read, “Improper food product and ingredient list of the cookies being sold, do not have a comprehensive ingredient list; without this, consumers are left in the dark about what they are consuming.” It was also brought to notice, that the products lacked information about sub-ingredients

Lobliner further stated why all food items and supplements need to abide by laws. He also emphasized his own business, which is kept in check by the FDA, unlike Kali Muscle and his claims about Tiger Fitness products being harmful.

Marc Lobliner talks about the necessity of labeling and disclosures

Lobliner explained how the disclosures are extremely necessary for consumers, as they would be well-versed in what they are dealing with and if those are harmful to their health or not. He elaborated, “These labeling and disclosure requirements have been established not just to ensure the quality and safety of products but also protect consumers and empower them to make informed choices.”

Talking about that, Lobliner made it clear how he is always on good terms with the FDA; because he himself follows all the rules and guidelines for his business. Lobliner reflected, “Ours is made in an FDA-inspected certified lab; okay, that’s where all our products are made. Our bars included an FDA-certified, meaning the FDA comes and inspects the facility; they do it quite often and they also will come and inspect where we store them, because we are a registered facility.”
