"Spiral algae with lead exceeding 820%" is actually a qualified product that has been approved by the license and has been put on the "blue hat" certification mark. According to a survey conducted by the reporter for several months, "Green A," "Thomson" and "Tsinghua Unisplendour (Jin Aoli)" and other spirulina products were suspected of "excessive levels of lead in heavy metals." The relevant person in charge of the State Food and Drug Administration said on the 27th that the relevant departments have been ordered to recall the problematic products and will severely investigate and punish the companies involved.
6 brands involved lead
The "blue hat" is a health food mark approved by the relevant national competent authority. In the health food counters of pharmacies, supermarkets and shopping malls in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the reporters purchased the Spirulina “Blue Hat†products from the 8 brands.
The results of inspections by a number of authoritative testing organizations certified by the National Certification and Accreditation Administration Committee showed that among the eight submitted samples, the lead content of six samples exceeded the standard. Among them: "Yves" exceeds 20%; "Green A" and "Tsinghua Unisplendour (Golden AoLi)" both exceed the standard 80%; "Tang Chen times health" exceeds 100%; "St. Orion" exceeds 200%; Telis exceeded 820%.
The nutritionists interviewed said that long-term use of lead spirulina may have effects on hematopoietic function, leading to poor immunity, anemia, and even renal impairment.
Filing process fraud
How did a group of unqualified health foods that were wearing "blue hats" get approved? The survey found that most companies report through intermediary agencies.
Zhang, a staff member of “Beijing Cole Angel Medical Technology Co., Ltd.†stated that “in order to be successfully approved, the application materials will not necessarily be consistent with the actual production.â€
This "trick" reporting method was also verified in "Beijing Conway Medical Technology Co., Ltd.". The sample taken by the reporter was analyzed by Huang, the market manager of the agency, and it mainly contained four components. The “dimethyl sulfoxide (a kind of chemical solvent)†is an illicit component and must not be added. "You can't write this banned ingredient when you declare." Hwang called "dial."
Who is the "blue hat"?
The reporter’s investigation found that behind the “Blue Hat†approval, there is a chain of interest from the reporting company to the intermediary agency and then to the examination and approval department.
According to the person in charge of a Spirulina production company, the company’s average application fee for each “Blue Hat†product is from 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, and so far it has cost more than 10 million yuan. “The CEOs of some agencies can earn tens of millions of dollars a year. Where does the money come from? From the approval service!â€
During the visit, the employees of intermediaries such as “Keel Angel†and “Kangweian†also “embarrassedâ€: a considerable part of the “technical service fees†charged to the reporting companies was “seeking rent†by the testing department or the approving department. "Only a regular point and a good relationship can be used at the crucial moment."
