In the program "Vietnam Today" broadcast on VTV1 on the evening of April 6, Colonel Tran Quoc Cuong (Head of the Investigation and Appraisal Department, Investigation and Investigation Office of the Ministry of Public Security) informed about violations related to Kera candy products.
Colonel Cuong said that as soon as information appeared on social networks that Quang Linh Vlogs and Hang Du Muc were falsely promoting and introducing Kera vegetable candies, the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security directed professional units to synchronously apply professional measures, organize verification and inspection.
Based on the documents and investigation results, on April 3, the Investigating Police Agency of the Ministry of Public Security prosecuted 5 defendants for the crime of producing counterfeit goods as food and deceivin.g customers, according to the provisions of Articles 193 and 198 of the Criminal Code.
Nguyen Phong - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asia Life Joint Stock Company - was identified as the organizer of the production of candies and vegetables. Phong has an act of directing employees in purchasing raw materials incorrectly.
"The raw material should be vegetable powder purchased from the farms of NSXs according to VietGAP standards, but Phong directed employees to buy vegetable powder with content below the standard level (from 0.61 to 0.75%), while the announcement was 28%," Mr. Cuong informed.
In particular, the subject also gave sorbitol accounting for 35% of the ingredients, along with other additives without announcing it to consumers.
