Investigation on consumption of health care products: exaggerating the effect and fooling people to "catch big fish" by any means

Although all kinds of deceptions in the sale of health care products have been repeatedly exposed by law enforcement departments and the media, more and more elderly people have realized that some health care products are "fooling" people, but the phenomenon that the elderly are confused by various marketing methods still occurs frequently In June last year, Zhu Genbao, a citizen of Huzhou, took part in a recommendation activity held in Shuxiang hotel of Huzhou Several "experts" came to the site to consult the citizens who came to listen to the lecture During the consultation, the doctor told Zhu Genbao that he had high blood pressure and insufficient sleep, and said that he could be cured by taking "albumin active peptide capsule" In the salesmen's rhetoric, Zhu Genbao spent 17267 yuan on the spot to buy 36 boxes of "albumin active peptide Capsules" After returning home, Zhu Genbao repeatedly looked at the product and felt that he was in good health and didn't need such health care products So he went to ask for a return However, the other party believed that Zhu Genbao was purchased voluntarily, the whole transaction process was in line with the law and there was no forced purchase and forced sale, and the goods could not be returned according to the regulations According to the information provided by Zhu Genbao, the reporter found that although the whole outer packaging of the product shows that the product has the health care function of mediating cell balance, improving immunity and delaying aging, it has no unique "little blue hat" sign of health food reviewed and approved by the Ministry of health of the people's Republic of China, and only one health license number, not even the food production license number and QS sign This product does not have "little blue hat", and the product description is also called health care function Is this legal? In this regard, the reporter consulted the Municipal Food and drug administration, and the relevant person in charge explained that the product does not have a "little blue hat", that is to say, it is just ordinary food, since it is not a health product, how can it have health care function? The product has the suspicion of exaggerating propaganda and misleading consumers The person in charge also pointed out that according to the provisions of Article 28 of the provisions on the management of food labeling, food labeling shall not be clearly or implicitly marked with health care function According to Article 13 of the Interim Provisions of the state on the issuance of food advertisements, advertisements of ordinary food, new resource food and special nutritional food shall not publicize the health care function, nor express or imply its health care function by virtue of the function of certain ingredients The relevant person in charge of the municipal consumer protection commission reminded consumers that when purchasing health care products, they should not belittle the exaggerated propaganda that health care products can cure diseases and guard against being cheated Health care products are essentially just a kind of food, which can not cure diseases, let alone cure diseases For health products that claim to have health care functions, consumers may require operators to present relevant examination and confirmation certificates issued by the health department In addition, consumers should also pay attention to check whether the identification, name, main ingredients, suitable people, batch number and approval documents of relevant departments on the outer package of health care products are complete, so as to avoid buying fake and inferior health care products (Jess Zhang)
