The people who use these fake milks are all children, the elderly - people who need to improve their health due to premature birth, chronic diseases, and are now using fake products. It is not clear how it affects health, it needs to be checked by the authorities, but one thing is certain, consumers lose money and get sick.
The violation is the production and trading of fake milk with sophisticated labels, false advertising. The products do not contain nutritional ingredients such as bird's nest, cordyceps, walnut powder... as announced. The Ministry of Public Security has prosecuted the case, temporarily detained 8 related subjects. The defendants face charges of "Producing and trading in counterfeit food products" and "Violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences"
Many consumers are concerned about why nearly 600 types of milk, with large production scales, can operate for 4 years without being detected and handled by authorities. The Ministry of Health is the agency in charge of preventing counterfeit food and food-related commercial fraud. According to the Food Safety Law, the Ministry of Health is responsible for inspecting, supervising and post-inspecting food products after enterprises self-declare. The Ministry of Industry and Trade manages the market and supervises regular processed milk products. The Ministry of Industry and Trade does not directly manage micronutrient supplements or functional foods, but is responsible for inspection when detecting signs of violations. People's Committees at all levels are responsible for managing food safety in their localities and organizing the handling of violations of food safety laws.
The case of fake milk production and trading has highlighted the responsibility of functional sectors in food safety management. This case is a warning bell about the loopholes in post-inspection and food quality control. Consumers expect functional agencies to increase their responsibility and improve management processes to protect public health.
