The agency said that recently, authorities have discovered many cases related to the production and distribution of fake milk products and fake medicines; and exaggerated advertising of food benefits, with the participation of influential people in society.

Typically, in early April, the Ministry of Public Security discovered a fake milk production line involving 573 brands of powdered milk for people with diabetes, kidney failure, premature babies and pregnant women... Many products had actual quality that was only less than 70% of the declared quality.

The National Competition Commission recommends that businesses urgently review all legal documents of food and cosmetics in the list of goods traded under multi-level marketing methods.

Multi-level marketing businesses ensure that products are declared in accordance with regulations, circulated according to declared content, and ensure clear and accurate information about ingredients, uses, quality, and origin.

Recently, many types of fake functional foods have been discovered by authorities.

At the same time, the authorities require businesses not to provide information about food by using images, equipment, costumes, names, correspondence of medical units, facilities, doctors, pharmacists, thank you letters, thanks from patients, articles of doctors, pharmacists, medical staff...

In the case of using influencers to introduce and promote products, businesses and influencers must ensure transparency of information, avoid misunderstandings and strictly comply with legal regulations.
