Milk lacks some ingredients compared to the announcement
According to information on the packaging of Nutrikid Oneplus Hi Calxi products - a product being sold at a number of pharmacies at the gate of Tu Hiep Internal Medicine Hospital with commercials for the patient who has just undergone thyroid surgery, the reporter (PV) went to the address at Lot N3D, X2B Yen So resettlement area (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) - the address of Nutrikid Vietnam Nutrition Consulting Co., Ltd. in Hanoi - the trader responsible for this product.
However, at Yen So X2B resettlement area, there is no address as the N3D lot as stated on the product packaging.
Contact the milk company's hotline by phone number: 0963168xxx We met Mr. Long - introducing himself as an employee of this unit in Hanoi. Instead of arranging for a reporter - pretending to be a customer to come to the company headquarters to discuss work, Mr. Long arranged for us to go to a coffee shop in Hoang Mai district (Hanoi) to discuss. Here, many truths about the product are revealed.
First, a representative of Nutrikid Vietnam Nutrition Consulting Co., Ltd. in Hanoi admitted that the address on the packaging was not real.
"These are the companies that we wrote to the old address, they have changed for 4-5 years now, now when looking for a company according to the N3D lot, Yen So X2B resettlement area, we can't find it," Long informed.
Regarding Nutrikid Oneplus Hi Calxi milk, the company's staff said that due to the milk crisis, this product has temporarily stopped production, selling only the remaining product batches. In the current product, there are many ingredients that are not correct and complete as announced, so they are temporarily suspended for supplementation.
"According to the new regulations, we are updating information on packaging products. We actually have mistakes, but not many are just violating the ingredient regulations. The main ingredients are fine, but according to the new regulations, we do not guarantee the types of mineral vitamins, some are not right, not enough, some are excess, so we have to temporarily stop to correct them.
In the past, people only checked microorganisms, now people check all ingredients so we have to do it again, not not not not sell milk anymore", said a representative of Nutrikid Oneplus Hi Canxi at Hanoi.
It can be seen that the information provided by the milk company's staff is in complete contrast to the affirmation of Thao Nguyen Pharmacy at the gate of Tu Hiep - Thanh Tri Endocrinology Hospital about the quality and "safehood" of the product.
Currently, according to PV's research, Nutrikid Oneplus Hi Canxi products are still being advertised on the website: https://nutrikid.vn, belonging to Nutrikid Vietnam Nutrition Joint Stock Company headquartered at F2/40A, Lien Ap 2-6 Street, Vinh Loc A Commune, Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.
In addition to Nutrikid Oneplus Hi Calxi, this unit also has many similar products for infants, children aged 1 - 10, sick people and the elderly. On social networking sites and e-commerce platforms, these products are still being advertised for sale.
According to the 2010 Food Safety Law, Article 20, food products on the market must "meeting published standards". If the product does not meet the advertisement on vitamin A, D, E content... then the enterprise has committed fraud about quality, violating the law.
Decree 15/2018/ND-CP clearly stipulates: organizations and individuals are not allowed to produce or circulate food that is not in accordance with the published documents. If violated, according to Article 17 of Decree 115/2018/ND-CP, amended by Decree 124/2021/ND-CP, it can be fined up to 100 million VND, forced to recall - destroy products, and suspend operations.
In case of causing serious consequences for public health, this behavior can be prosecuted under Article 193 of the 2015 Penal Code (amended in 2017).
Milk sold at huge discounts on hospital canvas, cannot issue full invoices
Continue to learn about the real origin of products advertised as milk for thyroid patients, newly operated patients, and people with diabetes advertised by the employees of the giesta of Thai Thinh Central Endocrinology Hospital as prescription doctors. PV went to 2 addresses: house number 6, alley b3, lane 7, residential group 14, To Hieu street, Nguyen Trai ward (Ha Dong, Hanoi) and 18C - TT12 Kien Hung Luxury Kien Hung urban area (Ha Dong, Hanoi).
According to the information on the packaging, this is the address of the pharmaceutical distributor Eco Pharmalife Global and the trader responsible for the products of TD Food Nutrition Group Joint Stock Company of the two milk products entrimil Diabetes and Entrimil ThyroPro, however, both of these addresses are "closed".
Calling the hotline 0961896xxx on the entrimil milk product packaging, the listener said that if customers want to buy, they will send information via zalo, currently the warehouse is on duty, the office is not at the same address so they cannot receive customers directly.
Introducing himself as a pharmacy with a need to buy a large quantity of milk, the reporter was informed that each can of entrimil milk product is currently being sold for 750 thousand VND, a box of 12 cans if bought from 1 - 3 boxes, customers will receive a 30% discount, but cannot issue a full invoice.
"In terms of invoices (Entrimil milk), if you need you, you will ask the accountant again, however, the value on the invoice will be lower than the listed price. The quantity is still the same, but the value of the product will be lower, for example, if you buy the product costing 750 thousand VND/can, the invoice value will be lower.
The invoices cannot be issued at the correct product price because the input materials are not valuable, and when issued, they cannot be issued at the correct listed price. If you buy a large quantity, you will receive a discount of 45 - 50% of the product value," informed Entrimil milk seller.
In addition, for customers to feel secure to buy products, this person added that this is the main milk line of the company, selling very well at two establishments of the Hinostatic Hospital in Hanoi. In the hospital, there was a pharmacy team that brought milk to the departments. This information coincides with our records when the patient is the patient who comes to the hospital staff and the hospital canteen.
"This milk on my side is selling the main force in the Heminology Hospital, so it is very easy to sell, in its listing price is 750 thousand VND/can. The company has a sister sitting there (at the hospital), they will send milk to the faculties and products I have sold at the endocrinologist 4-5 years now, there is a pharmaceutical team in the private Hospital.
According to Article 16 of Decree 125/2020/ND-CP, the act of making invoices with incorrect payment values can be fined up to 50 million VND. If it is determined that there are signs of tax evasion, the enterprise can be handled according to Article 200 of the 2015 Penal Code (amended in 2017), with a fine of up to 4.5 billion VND or imprisonment of up to 7 years, depending on the level of violation.
The law also clearly stipulates: enterprises are only allowed to record lower selling prices when there are legal promotional and discount programs and must specifically show them on the invoices, according to Article 19 of Decree 123/2020/ND-CP.
