Functional foods stolen in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City: Revealing the origin, related to the earthquake?

The theft of 50kg of counterfeit drug.s and functional foods in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City has caused a stir in public opinion in the past hours. Many people suspect that this is related to the counterfeit goods line that the Ministry of Public Security destroyed at the end of April.

On June 6, the city's public opinion "woke up" to information and images about thousands of boxes of medicines and functional foods with foreign labels stolen in an empty lot on Nguyen Van Linh Street (Phong Phu commune, Binh Chanh district, Ho Chi Minh City). Ho Chi Minh City).

According to the initial report from the People's Committee of Phong Phu commune, at the scene, the functional forces recorded a total of 5 gathering points with about 50kg of drug.s and functional foods thrown away. Notably, an area of about 20m² also showed signs of burnin.g, showing the act of destroyin.g material evidence.

The stolen products are diverse in type, including Nattobet Q10, Cevinton Forte, Homramin Ginseng, Ginlobil, Vitamins A-D, and many others. Most of these product boxes are labeled "raw materials imported from the US". Surprisingly, they still have a fairly long shelf life, most of which last until 2025-2027.

Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Khanh Phong Lan – Director of the Department of Food Safety of Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City, emphasized the seriousness of this behavior. She said that the theft of these products, regardless of whether they are expired or expired, is a serious violation of regulations on destruction.

According to the law, drug.s and functional foods, even if they are no longer valid for use, must still be collected and destroyed in accordance with the process, under the strict supervision of the authorities to ensure the safety of the environment and public health.

What makes the public particularly interested is the information from the authorities that many product packaging found at the scene of the theft in Binh Chanh states that the place of manufacture coincides with the companies that were destroyed by the Ministry of Public Security in the line of making counterfeit functional foods at the end of April.

Specifically, these locations are related to Mediphar Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company (headquartered in Phu Nghia Industrial Park, Hanoi) and Mediusa Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company (in Hoang Mai district, Hanoi).

The counterfeit production line discovered by the Ministry of Public Security was previously determined to have produced a series of counterfeit functional foods, counterfeiting labels of brands imported from the US and Europe. This group of subjects used floating materials, of unknown origin, imported from China to produce low-quality products.

More seriously, many products in this line were found not to contain active ingredients as advertised, or only reached less than 30% of the active ingredient content advertised on the packaging. This not only causes great economic damage to consumers but also directly affects the health of users, because they trust products that do not work or can even cause harm.

At the time of dismantling this line, the functional forces had seized nearly 100 tons of counterfeit functional foods, with a variety of types and designs. This huge number of counterfeit goods is determined to have been widely distributed throughout the country, creeping into the market through many different channels, from traditional retail stores to online distribution channels.

The remarkable coincidence between the theft in Binh Chanh and the operation of the counterfeit goods line that was destroyed earlier lies in the modus operandi (mode of operation).

When investigated and searched by the authorities, the criminal group related to this counterfeit production line had the act of dispersing a large number of goods, trying to burn evidence and quickly closing production factories for funerals. This behavior completely coincides with the phenomenon of stealing a large number of products and partially burnin.g them in an open land in Binh Chanh, Ho Chi Minh City. HCM.

Although the initial evidence and relationship are very suspicious, the question of whether the drug.s and supplements stolen in Binh Chanh, Ho Chi Minh City. Whether Ho Chi Minh City is really directly related to the aforementioned counterfeit production line is still a big question.

Currently, the authorities are still actively investigating, collecting more evidence and clarifying the case. The final result of the investigation will provide an accurate answer, helping to shed light on the origin of the stolen goods and its role in the overall picture of the problem of counterfeit and low-quality goods that are causing pai.n in society.
