Drugstores sell slimming coffee non-health products illegal publicity to deceive consumers

Tonight (Bohai Morning Post reporter Yang Xuefei) A few days ago, citizen Wang Li (a pseudonym) went to the drugstore to buy a can of "slimming coffee", but after drinking it, she had adverse reactions such as headache, palpitations, insomnia, and abnormal excitement, while the figures on the weight scale remained motionless. The reporter then conducted an undercover visit to the drugstore where Wang Li bought the products and found that the slimming coffee was not a weight loss health product, but an ordinary food that illegally publicized the efficacy of weight loss.

Wang Li told reporters that she wanted to buy weight-loss pills, but the clerk recommended her to use "weight-loss food", saying the product had little side effects. The reporter followed Wang Li to a drugstore in Dongli District and found that the "slimming coffee" bought by Wang Li was displayed prominently on the shelves. The reporter told the clerk that he wanted to lose weight and did not know which product was effective quickly, so the clerk took the reporter through the medicine area and went directly to the health food counter. He recommended several weight loss health foods with the "little blue hat" logo and approved document number as health food. The reporter said that he was in poor health and was worried about the side effects of these products, so the clerk picked up the "slimming coffee" bought by Wang Li and enthusiastically recommended it and said, "then you can choose this kind of coffee. You can drink it as coffee, and you can lose weight very quickly. And there are no side effects. This slimming coffee sells very well here."

The reporter saw that this product is different from the slimming health food with the "little blue hat" logo recommended by the shop assistant before, it does not have a "small blue hat", and the approval number is "Yue Wei Food Certificate", which shows that the product is only an ordinary food, not a health food. However, the prominent position of the product packaging says "Magic 26", "pure natural, healthy, safe, weight loss products without any side effects, not ordinary coffee, is spent a lot of money by the Kangshi Leno International Medical Research Center." slimming results that have been developed repeatedly for many years. The magical effect of slimming coffee: you can drink a slim figure in 26 days. The product is sold in drugstores as an ordinary food, and with the slogan of rapid weight loss written on it, it is not surprising that consumer Wang Li was "tricked". Subsequently, Wang Li reported the drugstore, and the industry and commerce department removed the product from the shelves, which is currently under further processing.

It is understood that there are two types of health food with weight loss function approved by the state, one is to lose weight and control appetite, and the other is substitute food, but the weight loss effect of health food must be very slow. If the shop assistant claims that he can lose weight quickly, it is an exaggeration. On the other hand, ordinary food can not promote any efficacy, including weight loss, which is illegal once promoted.
