case丨The "catty" in the net celebrity weight loss coffee...

  I thought that drinking weight-loss coffee would make me lose weight even while lying down, but I didn’t expect that symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and insomnia would follow while enjoying “slimness”.

  This is not a normal response to weight loss, but because

coffee is added with a prescription drug, sibutramine, which is prohibited from being added to food and used for obesity treatment

.

  A few days ago, a typical case jointly issued by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the General Administration of Market Supervision, and the State Food and Drug Administration disclosed that Han Moumou and Hong Moumou mixed sibutramine, which is prohibited by the state, into weight-loss coffee and sold them on a large scale online. The sales amount reached more than 8 million yuan, endangering the physical and mental health of many consumers.

Cost 8 yuan to sell 298 yuan, add banned drugs in the weight loss coffee

  In January 2019, the Shanghai Yangpu Public Security Bureau received a report from a biological products company that someone used the name of the company to produce and sell the so-called "slimming coffee" for illegal profit.

The police investigation found that the packaging of this "slimming coffee" looks quite formal-on the pink packaging box, "production license number", "hygiene license number" and so on are all available.

  However, after investigation and verification by the police, not only has the reporting company never produced this "slimming coffee", these so-called formal licenses and approval numbers are also forged.

The identification results showed that the product contained sibutramine, which is prohibited by the state.

  Sibutramine is a central nervous system depressant, which has the effects of excitement and antiphagia.

This medicine must be taken in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions and the dosage must be controlled. Once abused, it will cause symptoms such as insomnia, constipation, elevated blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and gastroenteritis.

  This dangerous "slimming coffee" is favored by consumers who don't know the truth.

  During the investigation, the police found that there are many “microshops” selling this “slimming coffee” on social networking platforms, involving many parts of the country.

  Following the clue of "WeChat Store", the task force quickly discovered Mao, the main Shanghai "shipper" of the product, and mastered its stocking warehouse in Pudong New Area.

  After combing and analyzing the sources of goods and capital in and out of Mao and several other “microshops”, the police found that the ultimate upstream suppliers were Han XX and his wife Hong XX in Shangqiu City, Henan Province.

  On the one hand, the investigators pretended to be buyers to contact the couple on the online platform, and on the other hand, they conducted investigations around their activities in Shangqiu.

  After several consecutive days of tracking, it was discovered that Han and his wife often went to a three-story building in a community on the outskirts of Shangqiu.

  This building seems unremarkable, but there is always a "buzzing" machine stirring and processing noise in the building.

In addition, freight vehicles come every two or three days to transport a box of goods to a courier transfer point a few kilometers away.

  Shanghai Yangpu police quickly confirmed that the transshipment was the "slimming coffee" involved.

  In late March 2019, the task force assembled police forces to attack in multiple ways, respectively, in Zhengzhou City, Shangqiu City, Zhoukou City, Henan Province, and Shanghai Pudong New Area to carry out simultaneous network acquisition operations. In one fell swoop, 9 people such as Han and Hong were launched. The suspect was arrested and brought to justice.

  The police seized more than 5,100 boxes of weight-loss coffee, 120,000 bags, about 165 kilograms of raw materials (sibutramine powder), and 4 sets of production equipment. The amount involved was more than 50 million yuan.

The weight-loss coffee, which cost only 8 yuan a box, was sold to consumers for 298 yuan.

From 2018 to the incident, the group has sold more than one million weight loss coffees containing sibutramine.

  In the end, the Shanghai Railway Transportation Court sentenced Han to 15 years imprisonment, deprived of political rights for three years, and fined 10 million yuan for the crime of producing and selling toxic and harmful food for Han and Hong; Twelve years in prison, one year of deprivation of political rights, and a fine of 7 million yuan.

Some lawbreakers ignore the personal safety of consumers, tamper with the production date at will, and seek illegal benefits.

  Shanghai Heyi Food Co., Ltd. deliberately tampered with the production date of products such as the backlog of products that are approaching the shelf life and expired "cheese smoked sausage" and sold them.

After being seized, the market supervision department revoked the food production license of the enterprise in accordance with the law, confiscated the illegally produced products, tools, and equipment, and imposed a fine of 3.01 million yuan.

In a case of counterfeiting "Quanjude", the defendant Tan Moumou and other 6 people purchased a large amount of packaging materials marked with the registered trademark of “Quanjude” from Lin Moumou without the entrustment or authorization of Quanjude Company. Acquired vacuum packaging machines, burritos, sauces and vacuum-packed roast ducks, etc., processed and manufactured counterfeit "Quanjude" registered trademark roast ducks by assembly, and sold them at low prices.

——The takeaway platform does not perform its duties.

In June 2020, the Jinan City Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Shandong Province used the Internet and big data to monitor and capture abnormal data on the third-party online ordering platform and found that two online catering businesses on the "Ele.me" ordering platform were suspected There are illegal acts such as failure to obtain food business licenses and failure to publish relevant information.

After investigation, the Jinan branch of Shanghai Lazars Information Technology Co., Ltd. failed to strictly fulfill its platform responsibilities, violated the food safety law and other relevant laws and regulations, and was fined 230,000 yuan.

  According to data, from September 2019 to December 2020, the national market supervision department investigated and handled 284,800 cases involving food safety violations, and the drug supervision department investigated and handled 107,700 cases involving violations in the fields of drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. The prosecutors approved the arrest of food safety cases. There were 3,945 cases of drug safety crimes, 7298 people, and 8,791 cases of 17,066 people were prosecuted.

  Relevant persons in charge of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, General Administration of Market Supervision, and State Drug Administration stated that the most stringent standards, the most stringent supervision, the most severe penalties, and the most serious accountability requirements must be further implemented, focusing on the “three no foods”. Issues such as “expired food” and “food that have not been inspected and quarantined” shall be severely cracked down on illegal and criminal production and sale of counterfeit and inferior food, and the health of the people is effectively protected.

  Food safety is as great as the sky.

Crimes that endanger food and drug safety infringe on the lives and physical health of unspecified people, challenge the laws and basic moral bottom lines, and affect the nerves of the entire society.

  For such cases, the relevant departments must promptly discover and study various new situations and problems, and promptly crack down on the illegal and criminal acts of producing and selling counterfeit and inferior food.

The whole society must form a joint effort to resist counterfeit and inferior food, and establish an effective mechanism for timely detection, investigation, and punishment, so that counterfeit and inferior food has nowhere to hide.

Consumers should also increase their awareness of protecting their rights and interests in accordance with the law, keep their eyes open, strengthen their judgment, and take the initiative to resist counterfeit and inferior food.
