Recently, the Sky Eye Check App showed that Yakult was fined 450,000 for unfair competition.
Shanghai Yakult Dairy Co., Ltd., a Yakult affiliate company, promoted "probiotics play an important role in the prevention and control of the new crown virus" before the end of my country's new crown virus pneumonia epidemic, which is very easy to misunderstand consumers.
The propaganda behavior of the parties is conducive to increasing the sales of Yakult lactic acid bacteria, gaining a competitive advantage, and eliminating or hindering the competition of other types of probiotic beverages.
According to information, the company is wholly-owned by Yakult (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
The Shanghai Pudong New Area Market Supervision and Administration Bureau imposed a fine of 450,000 yuan in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 20 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China.
