Doesn't it sound attractive to lose weight while enjoying the pleasure of drinking coffee?

Recently, Ms. Zhu from Jiangsu bought such a coffee that claimed to lose weight, but unexpectedly led to a case of adding illegal drugs.

Slimming coffee contains banned drugs and makes your heart panic after drinking it.

Ms. Zhu, a consumer in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, recently bought an online celebrity weight loss coffee, but drank it for less than three days, not only did not lose weight, but also had a problem.

Consumer Ms. Zhu: I feel a little nauseous. My head feels heavy and drowsy. In retrospect, I felt a little uncomfortable since I drank the coffee king.

Huai'an Food and Drug Control Institute tested this Kabana L-carnitine coffee king. The results showed that the so-called L-carnitine coffee king not only did not contain L-carnitine at all, but also detected illegal drug ingredients: sibutramine hydrochloride and phenolphthalein.

Industry insiders told reporters that the culprits that led to Ms. Zhu's discomfort were these two illegal drugs that were illegally added to coffee.

Consumer Ms. Zhu: because I have eaten it only a few times, it is still a mild symptom. If it is serious, it is almost the same as anorexia.

Sibutramine hydrochloride was originally used as an adjuvant in the treatment of obesity, but because of its side effects, it can increase heart rate and blood pressure, and in severe cases can lead to stroke or even death. As early as 2010, the relevant departments have issued a notice to prohibit the production, sale and use of sibutramine hydrochloride and API in China.

Another prohibited drug is phenolphthalein. As a chemical drug, phenolphthalein can directly act on the intestinal wall and increase intestinal peristalsis. It is often used to treat chronic constipation and other diseases. As phenolphthalein can cause allergic reactions and a series of side effects, long-term improper use can also cause irreversible intestinal nerve injury, so it should be taken in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, generally continuous use should not exceed 3 days.

Zhou Tianhong, deputy director of Jiangsu Huaian Institute for Food and Drug Control: phenolphthalein as a drug occasionally has allergic reactions, and some female patients will have irregular menstruation after using it. If it is used for a long time, it will produce dependence, which will aggravate the patients' symptoms of constipation and lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.

The batch number of the so-called slimming coffee production is falsely used.

A variety of illegal drug ingredients were found in the sizeable online celebrity coffee, and the Jiangsu Huai'an Food and Drug Administration immediately handed over the clue to the local public security department.

After receiving the report, the Huaian police first investigated the Jianyu Food Factory in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, a manufacturer marked on the packaging. The police told reporters that in Guangzhou, this Jianyu food factory does exist, and its main products include coffee, cocoa, and many other kinds of food, but after police investigation, the food factory has never produced this so-called kabana L-carnitine coffee king.

Ye Zeyu, public security brigade of the Economic Development Zone Branch of the Huaian Public Security Bureau, Jiangsu Province: this product has never been produced in their factory, and the production license number marked on the tank has indeed been used before, but it has not been used for many years and has been invalidated. This production license number is a solid coffee drink produced in the factory, but it is not this product.

It turns out that this slimming coffee suspected of counterfeiting health food is an illegal product with neither a formal manufacturer nor a production license.

This is the detailed list of transaction records of this online store obtained by the police. from this detailed list, the reporter found that within a short period of more than a year from Zhu and his wife began selling this slimming coffee to the crime, more than 10, 000 consumers had bought this Kabana L-carnitine coffee king from the Rose Garden Fine Slimming Pavilion, with a transaction volume of nearly 1 million yuan. The police handling the case told the reporter that many consumers had approached Zhu to reflect physical discomfort.

Yuan Xuegao, deputy director of the Haikou Road Police Station of the Huaian Public Security Bureau in Jiangsu Province: some people reported that they would feel dizzy and nauseous after eating, but the serious problem was that they could not speak clearly.

The police destroyed the network of making and selling slimming coffee.

The suspect confessed to the police that although he knew that many consumers reported symptoms such as physical discomfort after drinking coffee, they did not restrain at all and still sold these so-called slimming coffee illegally added illegal drugs on the Internet.

During the interview, the reporter learned that the purchase price of each can of coffee for Sun and Zhu is only about 18 yuan, but the price listed on the Internet is as high as 69 yuan, that is to say, each can of coffee sold can easily make a profit of 51 yuan. Where does this harmful, hot-selling and profiteering product come from?

After layers of tracking, all the clues point to a woman in the health food wholesale business in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

Ye Zeyu, Public Security Brigade of Jiangsu Huaian Public Security Bureau Economic Development Zone Branch: this small workshop is located in Zhengzhou aircraft carrier city, there is a health food street, there are many outlets. This store is very interesting and characteristic. During the day, the door is open to do business. It is strange to lock it from the inside.

The reporter saw that the environment of this black den was dirty and messy, and a large number of kabana L-carnitine coffee king packages were stacked at the scene for filling finished products. And nearly 2 tons of coffee ingredients are put in a bag for animal feed.

Yuan Xuegao, Deputy Director of Haikou Road Police Station of Jiangsu Huaian Public Security Bureau: the suspect Li is also a suspect in the intermediate processing link. The real L-carnitine coffee king was not matched by her, but sold to her by the suspect Xu.

In Xu's production warehouse, Huai'an police seized 6 tons of so-called food raw materials on the spot.

Yuan Xuegao, Deputy Director of Haikou Road Police Station of Jiangsu Huaian Public Security Bureau: the Food and Drug Inspection Institute found that sibutramine hydrochloride and phenolphthalein were illegally added to these 61 bags of coffee powder.

Suspect Xu told reporters that except for illegal drugs, the other ingredients of these so-called slimming coffee have nothing to do with losing weight.

Suspect Xu: coffee is very little, only 30 kilograms per ton of coffee, others such as 20 bags of glucose 500 kilograms, or even 25 bags of 750 kilograms, the rest is milk powder, plant fat powder.

The reporter learned that the suspect Xu illegally purchased sibutramine hydrochloride from Guangdong at a price of 1900 yuan per kilogram and added it to a semi-finished product made from a mixture of inferior coffee powder and glucose according to the proportion of 4 kilograms per ton. then mixed with a small amount of phenolphthalein, you can make a ton of so-called Internet celebrity weight loss coffee at a cost of about 12000 yuan.

In other words, consumers spend 69 yuan to buy kabana L-carnitine coffee king, the raw material cost of a can is less than 4 yuan. At this point, the Huaian police completely destroyed the underground network that illegally added illegal drugs to food and pretended to sell health products.
