Recently, the Shanghai regulatory authorities have found that a number of snack products sold on e-commerce platforms have been falsely advertised in the names of institutions such as "Agricultural University" and "Academy of Agricultural Sciences". These so-called "highly educated" snacks are not only of questionable quality, but also have serious information fraud and mislead consumers. The market supervision department has called on the public to be vigilant and is also actively carrying out crackdown actions.
Surveys show that such counterfeit snacks mostly create high-end impressions by quoting the name of a university or scientific research institute to mislead consumers to buy. However, in practice, there is no authorization or support from the relevant authorities. According to statistics, at least 5 of the 13 snacks randomly investigated by Shanghai regulators have nothing to do with the scientific research institutes they claim.
This kind of false propaganda not only violates the law, but also the quality of the product is worrying. A certain vegetable roll with the name "Agricultural University" was detected to be inconsistent with the name of protein, fat and other ingredients. Such opportunistic practices have seriously damaged the credibility of the industry, and we call on relevant companies to immediately rectify and stop such illegal acts.
For consumers, don't believe those bombastic packaging slogans. Be rational when choosing products and don't be fooled by gimmicks. We also need to take the initiative to supervise and report problems as soon as they are discovered. Only when public opinion supervision and legal punishment are carried out at the same time, will illegal businesses have nowhere to hide. Let's work together to contribute to the creation of a sunny market environment!
