Although its name can be found on the official website of the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration, but the production enterprises and the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration registered the production enterprises of the product does not match.
addition of "health food" has been a phenomenon for many years.

"This kind of behavior is a hurt to the industry as a whole."

Tips: Health care products
commonly known to consumers as health-improving products, and there is no such word in legal documents. And health food is after the government's strict review and approval, with health food logo (small blue cap) products, this concept must be clarified.
Because the illegal addition of "health food" is mostly counterfeit products, Liu Xuecong and Wang Dahong reminded that consumers should identify the national food health word approval number and health food logo (small blue cap), to avoid buying ordinary food posing as health food counterfeit goods.
two professionals remind that in order to buy regular health food, we must pay attention to the following points:
1, to have brand awareness. If you encounter a brand you haven't heard of, be very careful, you may want to search the Internet to see if the brand has been exposed by the media or announced by the government.
2, should be purchased through formal channels. Some products will fake well-known brands, and formal channels are a level to protect consumers, because counterfeit products often can not enter the formal channels. Don't buy products from venues you haven't heard of.
3, learn commodity knowledge. Before buying products, you should understand some of the functions of the product, adapt to the crowd, etc. , to see if it is suitable for themselves, do not blindly follow the trend of purchase.
