Recently, the Salmon Branch of the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association released the "Raw Salmon" to list freshwater rainbow trout as salmon, which caused a large number of complaints. Recently, the e-commerce business of the companies involved in the drafting of the standard has fallen sharply, which is the consumers who opened the mind and voted against it with their feet.

Among them, there are 12 products in the Tmall Longyangxia flagship store under Minze Company, and the current discount ranges from 4.9-7.7%. However, the monthly sales volume is very low, excluding two meat pine products, of the 10 rainbow trout products, 4 models have a monthly sales volume of 0. Another company involved in the drafting of the standard, Shanghai Heyu Frozen Food Co., Ltd., Jingdong self-operated store has been removed from the shelves.
