It is shown in this paper that if  is a class of simple groups such that π() = char , the -saturated formation ℌ generated by a finite group cannot be expressed as the Gaschütz product  ∘  of two non--saturated formations if ℌ ≠ . It answers some open questions on products of formations. The relation between ω-saturated and -saturated formations is also discussed.
