Surely many "beautiful ladies" have heard, researched and used functional foods with the purpose of losing weight and regaining their "spring figure". Attractive advertisements attract customers such as: containing "completely natural ingredients", "rapid weight loss of 3-5 kg per course", "no side effects", effective for people with "hard-to-lose body type"... Meanwhile, some ladies tell each other: "be bold and drink it, you will lose weight clearly without being tired or dizzy", "Just look at me, just drink it and you will automatically lose weight"... Also because of many "real people, real work", the market for functional foods to support weight loss is extremely vibrant.
However, in recent days, on mass media, many consumers feel quite insecure when a series of functional food brands supporting weight loss are "exposed".
Most recently, the Food Safety Department ( Ministry of Health ) said that this agency received a report from the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Public Health on the results of testing surveillance samples, discovering that the health protection food product Hong Hac Phuc Linh weight loss capsule contained the banned substances Sibutramine, Desmethylsibutramine, Didesmethylsibutramine. Previously, at the end of April 2025, this department also said that it had discovered 2 health protection food products including Dang Xuan Phuc Linh Gold and Best Slim Collagen containing the banned substance sibutramine...
And surely the fight between the two "weight loss bosses" Ngan 98 and Ngan Collagen at the end of May also helped consumers realize the truth behind weight loss pills. Although there is no official conclusion from the authorities, through inspection, verification of production activities and sampling of a number of weight loss products advertised by Ngan 98, only one product received a product declaration at the Department of Food Safety. Notably, this department affirmed that it did not issue any advertising content confirmation for the products. Distribution companies such as Zubu Trading and Service Company Limited and Ngan 98 Trading and Service Company Limited have temporarily suspended operations, are no longer physically present at the registered address and cannot be contacted...
In reality, consumers can easily order many products through e-commerce platforms or social networks without knowing that the products have never been tested or have been advertised beyond their effectiveness.
In Ha Tinh , the weight loss drug market is also extremely vibrant with many online sales outlets introducing products through attractive images, promising clear results after just a few days of use. But behind those advertisements, who knows whether the products have actually been tested or not and whether they pose any potential health risks? Should some popular weight loss brands in the Ha Tinh market be put under the "target" of inspection by authorities? If they are not safe, consumers will boycott them, but if they are guaranteed, it is also a way to affirm the brand.
Never before has the "sweeping" of counterfeit, fake, poor quality goods... been so concentrated as now. Following the direction of the Prime Minister , a series of ministries, branches and localities have joined in. From the consumer's perspective, the review, inspection, detection and handling of violations by functional forces against production and business establishments and enterprises, especially products directly related to health, is something that is highly anticipated and hoped for. Because only when the market is "purified", consumers can rest assured to choose truly safe and effective products.
