@ Yakult active lactic acid bacteria Late at night on September 7, the news was released that recently, the Shanghai Pudong New Area Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued an administrative penalty decision to Shanghai Yiliduo Dairy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yakult, which caused social concern. Yakult attaches great importance to this and sincerely accepts the punishment. Since April last year, Yakult has been urging its subsidiaries to strictly review the promotional content and prevent the recurrence of such incidents, and now publishes the incident review and rectification as follows: In April 2020, Shanghai Yakult Dairy Co., Ltd. saw the text "Using intestinal microecological regulators to maintain the balance of intestinal microecology and prevent secondary bacterial infection" in the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Pneumonia Infected by Novel Coronavirus Infection" issued by the National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Trial Fourth Edition). As well as some media reports on the role of probiotics in the new crown virus infection pneumonia, a supermarket in Pudong, Shanghai, printed a promotional color page with the content of "the first national document confirms that prebiotics play an important role in the prevention and control of the new crown virus". After the matter was reported by consumers, the company immediately tried to recycle the promotional color pages, but the misleading effects have been caused, and we are deeply guilty about it. This incident shows that the company's subsidiaries lack strict review in product promotion and have serious loopholes in management, for which we apologize and sincerely apologize. We humbly accepted the criticism of consumers, sincerely accepted the government punishment, after the incident, the company's management and the units involved in the internal review made a profound review, conducted a comprehensive review of the audit process of the internal publicity content of its subsidiaries and Yusheng, improved the audit mechanism, and organized the relevant departments to strengthen the study of laws and regulations. For this incident, our company will take this as a warning and once again sincerely apologize. We will continue to take the production of high-quality products as our responsibility, attach importance to the rights and interests of consumers, actively cooperate with supervision, further strengthen rectification, and sincerely welcome consumers and all sectors of society to supervise us.
