Northeast Yu Jie Team's Sweet Potato Noodles Scandal False Labeling and Legal Issues
TapTechNews October 10th news, according to Hubei Economic TV's Economic Live Broadcast report, on October 10th, the staff of the Chaoyang County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province said that the test result of the sweet potato noodles sold by the Northeast Yu Jie Team in the live broadcast has come out.
The staff said that the sweet potato noodles sold by the Northeast Yu Jie Team in the live broadcast were suspected of false labeling on the product label, and it is now being investigated. Adding cassava starch to sweet potatoes is definitely illegal and there is already an illegal act. Specifically, it is being judged whether it violates the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China or the Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China. If the amount involved is large, it may constitute a crime, and we will definitely transfer it to the judicial organ for handling.
According to TapTechNews' understanding, on September 23rd, a打假 blogger released a video stating that he bought the sweet potato noodles in the live broadcast room of Northeast Yu Jie and sent them for testing, and found that cassava starch was mixed into the sweet potato noodles, without sweet potato ingredients. When they went to the home of Northeast Yu Jie to defend their rights, they were beaten by the other party.
On the evening of September 30th, Northeast Yu Jie issued an apology statement, saying that the留样 products of the sweet potato noodles had been sent to the national standard quality inspection department, and the proportion of sweet potato powder and cassava powder had not been detected for the time being, but the sulfur dioxide and other items met the safety standards, and they would refund first. The next day, the customer service of the Northeast Yu Jie product showcase told reporters, Testing sweet potato powder belongs to out-of-scope testing. Due to the influence of public opinion, many (institutions) do not test for us. When the report comes out, we will deal with it accordingly.
