Xu Chao, a lawyer of Jiangsu Li 'anxiang Law Firm, said that judging whether selling health care products is suspected of committing a crime mainly depends on whether the health care products sold abroad meet the national food safety standards. If it meets the requirements, it only exaggerates publicity, such as claiming that the health care product can treat diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and does not constitute a criminal offence. However, the relevant departments will impose administrative penalties on their exaggerated propaganda, and consumers can also file civil compensation for them.
Where is the boundary between crime and non-crime in selling health care products?
If the health care products sold do not meet the national food safety standards, they are suspected of criminal offences. Sellers adulterate products, pass fake products off as genuine ones, pass inferior products off as good ones, and pass unqualified products off as qualified products. They are suspected of producing and selling fake and inferior products. Xu Chao said that in this case, there are also expenses for subdivision. If one or more indicators of the health care products sold do not meet the national food safety standards, the seller is suspected of producing and selling foods that do not meet the safety standards; If the health care products sold contain toxic and harmful substances, the seller is suspected of producing and selling toxic and harmful food.
In addition, the state has strict requirements on the production and sale of drugs. If a seller labels a health care product as a drug without obtaining a drug production license, it is suspected of producing and selling counterfeit drugs.
Xu Chao said that this criminal gang selling inferior health products was smashed by Nanjing Xuanwu police, and took the victims to the cottage medical institutions in Yiwu and Yixing, and continued to defraud by participating in projects such as "stem cells" and "blood purification" without any medical qualifications. Also suspected of fraud.
