Recently, the Investigating Police Agency of the Ministry of Public Security said that it had executed a warrant for the temporary detention and search of the residence of Quang Linh Vlogs (member of the board of directors of Sister Rot Group Joint Stock Company), Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai Hang (i.e. Hang Du Muc), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sister Rot Group Joint Stock Company and 3 others to investigate the crime of smuggling and exporting counterfeit goods. food and deceiving consumers.

Regarding the incident, another male TikToker was also in the Top most searched on social networks when the truth about Kera vegetable candy was expose.d.

That is Quach Thanh Lam, a content creator on the TikTok platform, also known as "Vegetarian Lion", currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City.

The fact that Quach Thanh Lam is the most sought after is because he is considered one of the first people to question the quality of Kera vegetable candy - a product of Sister Rot Group Joint Stock Company (CER Group) by Hang Du Muc and Quang Linh Vlogs is really as advertised and brought the product for inspection.

With the peculiarity of regularly using health supplements to share experiences and analyze the ingredients of the item for users, Lam knows about Kera vegetable candy through advertisements and livestream sales sessions on social networks.

Ordering a trial product and carefully reading the ingredients on the packaging, the male TikToker questioned "whether the actual fiber content in the product is commensurate with the advertisement".

On February 12, Lam posted the first video sharing his personal opinion about the vegetable candy, and at the same time warned consumers to be cautious of products that are over-hyped.

Immediately, the video caused a lot of controversy on social networks. In which, many opinions say that the male TikToker is looking for fame by "leaning" on it.

On March 4, Lam decided to take the initiative to bring Kera candy for inspection at the Technical Center for Standards - Metrology - Quality 2 (QUATEST 2) under the Directorate of Standards, Metrology and Quality of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

He clearly stated his desire to check the total amount of fiber in the candy and was consulted on methods for testing. About a week later, receiving the inspection result sheet, Lam was shocked and surprised.

Talking to the media, the male TikToker said that the results of the amount of fiber and ingredients in the candy were much lower than his initial prediction.

"I had to text the Quatest technician carefully to see if there was any confusion during the inspection process. When I received the final confirmation answer, I made everything public because I didn't want more consumers to be deceived," he said.

The incident caused fierce controversy when the Kera candy manufacturing unit announced the inspection results at the Avatek Science Application Testing and Consulting Center. Each 100g product contains about 5.8g of Inulin fiber and 0.93g of total fiber.

This figure is 12.5 times higher than the data given by the inspection unit where Mr. Lam is located. Because of this, it has sparked skepticism in public opinion about the level of transparency in announcing the brand's ingredients.

Also during this time, despite anticipating everything, the pressure from public opinion was much heavier than the male TikToker's initial imagination.

He constantly receives messages, comments, and phone calls with threatening and useful content. At one point, he had to temporarily not use social networks, but only posted videos and then exited the account.

"Facing pressure, I choose to be silent because I only have one goal to help consumers understand what the product actually is, not a win-lose match," he said. In the midst of the noise, the Investigating Police Agency prosecuted the case of "counterfeit goods" that occurred at Asia Life Company and Sister Rot Group Joint Stock Company, operating in Ho Chi Minh City and Dak Lak.

In which, Hang Du Mu and Quang Linh Vlogs were prosecuted and detained, the male TikToker admitted that he "didn't think the incident was to this extent".

"I feel sorry for them, but this is also a wake-up call for the gods of sales livestream. In addition, consumers need to be wise and cautious with health-related products," he said. On April 7, Thanh Lam suddenly apologized and said that "I am not a hero".

Also according to his sharing, he said that he realized his mistake in putting the candy product to the test because he made a mistake in the process. According to this male TikToker, the correct process must be reported to the competent authorities so that the unit can take samples for testing. If there is a violation, the agencies and departments will be the place to conduct the investigation and conclude.

Therefore, he said that he was aware of part of the mistake in arbitrarily bringing the product for testing and then posting the results publicly on social networking sites. "Even if the case is controversial, I don't participate and draw any conclusions because only the authorities have the right to do this," he added.
