More than 100,000 capsules have been sold! The "Shenbao Pill" gang sells toxic food in the name of practicing medicine.

  Cctv newsRecently, the police in Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province cracked a case of producing and selling toxic and harmful food, and arrested 6 suspects, involving more than 2 million yuan.

  In July 2019, the police found that many residents’ homes were stuffed with a business card printed with "Dr. Wang". Why do regular "doctors" distribute business cards everywhere? With doubts, the police began to investigate the "doctor". After investigation, the police found that Wang, a "doctor", was an Anhui native and promoted health care products such as "Emperor Shenbao Pill" in the name of practicing medicine.

  Zheng Yujian, a policeman of the Public Security Brigade of Yunhe County Public Security BureauWe commissioned a professional organization to sample and test the health care products he sold, and found that one of the products named "Diwang Shenbao Pill" contained sildenafil which was prohibited by the state. Through the confirmation of the market supervision department, these health care products were toxic and harmful.

  Sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra, is a prescription drug used to treat male erectile dysfunction, as well as pulmonary hypertension and mountain sickness. Its adverse reactions include headache, indigestion, abnormal vision and so on. The medicine must be used under the guidance of a doctor, otherwise it will pose a threat to the health and life of the user. China’s food safety law clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to add this drug to food and health care products.

  Zheng Yujian, a policeman of the Public Security Brigade of Yunhe County Public Security BureauDuring the investigation, it was found that the suspects set up workshops in Zhengzhou and other places in Henan Province, and found out how to make health care products through the Internet without legal license. In addition, sildenafil, an illegal drug, was illegally added to it, which was produced and packaged into health care products for sale through online platforms such as WeChat. After packaging, the cost of several dollars can be sold to tens of dollars a box.

  Through a large number of visits and investigations by the police, a gang that produces and sells toxic and harmful food across provinces has gradually surfaced. Yunhe and the police launched a unified network-closing operation, arresting six suspects, including Wang, destroying a production and processing den and seizing more than 300,000 finished capsules. It is understood that the gang’s sales channels are all over Henan, Hubei, Zhejiang and other places. Up to the time of the incident, more than 100,000 pieces of this toxic and harmful food have been sold. At present, six suspects have been arrested by Yunhe police on suspicion of producing and selling toxic and harmful food.
