Recently, some media reported that there is a problem of "poppy shell underground trading" in a number of domestic Chinese herbal medicine distribution centers, including Anguo City, Hebei Province, which is known as the "medicine capital". In this regard, the local government issued a notice on May 21 saying that the Anguo Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government attach great importance to it, and immediately dispatched a joint investigation and disposal team to start from the three market entities involved in the report, reverse the line, check the downline, dig deep into the entire underground trading chain, punch hard and fiercely, strictly crack down on illegal and criminal acts, seal illegal products in accordance with laws and regulations, seal all illegal business enterprises, and control and mediate relevant parties according to law. Up to now, Anguo City has investigated 148 market operators and 19 restaurants, and a total of more than 10 kilograms of poppy shells involved in illegal transactions have been verified, and 6 parties have been controlled.
