The "matrix" of fake functional foods

Recently, many businesses involved in the processing and trading of fake functional foods have been exposed by authorities. In fact, functional foods were created with the purpose of improving health, supplementing nutrition and preventing diseases for users. However, currently, many products advertised as "tonic" are secretly spreading dangers. Products that were once advertised as helping to increase resistance, support the cardiovascular system, beautify the skin or supplement vitamins are now suspected of being the culprits that silently harm consumers' health. This raises concerns among consumers because anything can be counterfeited, only the harm to health is real.

Faced with the above situation, people expect the authorities to strengthen inspections of companies producing and trading in drugs and functional foods; resolutely revoke the production licenses of violating companies and publicly announce the violating products. Authorities and consumer protection organizations need to have official information channels to the people about counterfeit functional food products that do not ensure quality. At the same time, there needs to be stricter regulations on the quality management process for pharmaceutical products, especially functional foods.
