In March this year, Beijing launched a three-month net-cleaning campaign, focusing on cracking down on illegal vendors who rely on online platforms to sell foods that claim to have the effects of losing weight, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar, enhancing immunity and improving sleep, and selling unapproved imported drugs. Among them, 40 kinds of foods and 20 kinds of drugs sold in the online platform 130 store were sampled respectively, claiming to have the effects of losing weight, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar, enhancing immunity and improving sleep. It was found that 36 kinds of food contained sibutramine, phenformin, glibenclamide, phenolphthalein and sildenafil respectively.
According to China's current laws and regulations on food and drug administration, food producers and operators are prohibited from producing and selling foods made of non-food raw materials or foods with chemicals other than food additives and other substances that may endanger human health; Imported drugs must be examined by the State Council Food and Drug Administration. Only those who meet the quality standards, are safe and effective after examination can be approved for import, and a Registration Certificate for Imported Drugs will be issued. Drugs that must be approved but produced or imported without approval shall be treated as counterfeit drugs.
According to another introduction, starting from March this year 1, the Beijing Food and Drug Administration and the public security department jointly cracked down on this clue. By the end of May, the Municipal Food and Drug Inspection Corps had organized inspection brigades in Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Changping districts to jointly crack down on all kinds of food and drug cases 155, and destroyed 34 criminal dens selling toxic and harmful foods and counterfeit drugs, including 8 dens selling toxic and harmful foods, 26 dens selling counterfeit drugs, and criminal detention of criminal suspects 169 people.
The food and drug supervision department reminds consumers that food and drugs should be purchased through formal channels. Ordinary food does not have the functions of losing weight, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar, enhancing immunity and improving sleep. Don't believe in false propaganda such as "immediate effect" and buy and use it at will; Drugs purchased through overseas purchasing channels have not gone through professional examination and approval procedures such as clinical verification and quality inspection by the US Food and Drug Administration, so the quality and efficacy of products cannot be guaranteed, and abuse will bring health risks.
