Ha Tinh has not detected any fake drugs and functional foods.

Recently, the authorities have continuously discovered large-scale production and trading lines of fake milk and fake medicine in a number of provinces and cities across the country, causing public outrage, confusion and anxiety. In Ha Tinh , many people have also expressed their unease about these problems.

Having suffered from diabetes for many years, Mr. T. C (Thach Kim commune, Thach Ha district) bought milk for diabetics according to the advertisement. Therefore, immediately after hearing the information about the production line of nearly 600 types of fake milk powder targeting people with diabetes, kidney failure, pregnant women and premature babies, Mr. C. quickly called his relatives to check the milk he had been drinking for a long time. After checking, although this type of milk was not on the list of fake milks seized by the authorities, it still raised a concern for Mr. C.

Consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to choose products.

She also ordered milk advertised online to supplement calcium and treat bone and joint diseases. However, due to timely intervention from her children and grandchildren, Ms. PTC (Gia Hanh commune, Can Loc) canceled the order.

After seeing information about fake milk and fake medicine, Ms. C. shared: “I am really worried and upset because these are products that patients and children often use, but no one knows whether they are real or fake, and no one can guarantee. I hope that the authorities will actively intervene to investigate, detect, and promptly handle cases of counterfeit production and trade, protecting the rights of consumers.”
