The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism reminded Mr. Mai Huyen Linh (MC Quyen Linh) about advertising food that is not in accordance with one of the prescribed documents and causes confusion about the announced uses of the product.

The Ministry also reminded Mr. Dao Trong Hung (actor Doan Duc Dam) about advertising breast milk substitute products for children under 24 months old, which are prohibited from advertising (these two cases have passed the statute of limitations for administrative violations in the field of advertising).

On the afternoon of July 17, confirming with Dan Tri reporter , Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Huyen - Deputy Director of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) - said that this unit had invited MC Quyen Linh and actor Doan Quoc Dam to work, because the advertising video was from 2022-2023, so it was past the statute of limitations for punishment according to the law.

"We have reminded MC Quyen Linh and Doan Quoc Dam about advertising products. Hopefully, artists will be more careful in accepting advertisements in the future," said Ms. Huyen.

According to a representative of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information, there is currently a situation where KOLs (famous people), including many editors, journalists... accept advertisements for food, health protection foods and violate the provisions of the law on advertising.

Specifically, they advertise incorrectly or misleadingly about the quality, price, uses... of registered or announced products, goods, and services...

The reason for the above situation is that advertisers lack basic knowledge about advertising products and services, especially food, medicine, and medical examination and treatment services - which have a direct impact on human health and life, or do not thoroughly research the products they advertise.

Therefore, the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information recommends that advertisers need to carefully research the product, check the ingredients, uses, and documents related to the product, have a sense of responsibility to the community, and avoid advertising that exaggerates the product's uses, regardless of the need to achieve profits and sales.
