Zhejiang million "toxic capsules" flow into the market, buyers are fleeing "toxic capsules" to become fans

On the 2nd, the Ninghai County Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province reported an illegal production and sale of “toxic capsules”, smashed an illegal processing site that used industrial gelatin to produce capsules, arrested 14 criminal suspects, and 6 people were at large. Some 442,000 hollow capsules and semi-finished products, scraps, industrial gelatin and two capsule-making devices were seized at the scene. These hollow capsules have three colors: red, black, and white. They look no different from regular capsules. However, after testing, they found that: These capsules have been seriously exceeded the standard for heavy metal chromium and are truly “toxic capsules”.

Produce "poisonous capsules" for a little more money

Wang Wei, the deputy chief prosecutor of the Ninghai County Procuratorate, said, “Any people suspected of committing crimes are inside. We asked him: Do you know what the capsule is made of? They said that they knew it was made from industrial gelatin. Then he asked him, Whether or not the industrial gelatin has no poison is known, he said. Finally, he asked him why he knows that poisonous substances have to come in to help production. He said that nothing more than earning a few bucks."

It is understood that the clues originate from an investigation of industrial gelatin production conducted in July this year. In the network format investigation, some people reported that they found a suspicious capsule processing site. After finding out the situation, the local market supervision bureau and the public security forces jointly enforced the law and destroyed the illegal processing site.

Gu Changan, deputy director of Ninghai County Public Security Bureau, said: “This factory is a private house rented in the village of Shadi in Shenjing Township. There is a fence around it. The workers who manufacture hollow capsules are all skilled workers who have undergone capsule production (training). They are professional and know well. This industrial gelatin capsule can't be done."

Thousands of "toxic capsules" to become fans

A group of 20 people has a clear division of labor from purchasing raw materials to making capsules and selling. According to the suspects: From February to July, they have produced about 90 million "toxic capsules."

Gu Changan, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Ninghai County, said: “The suspects who purchased hollow capsules are still at large and the numbers cannot be accurately determined. They were calculated by the criminal suspects during the confession. These people lost their bills in order to destroy the evidence. ”

As of now, 14 criminal suspects have been brought to justice, and 6 people are at large, including 4 buyers of “toxic capsules”. Since the purchaser has not returned to the case, the whereabouts of the "Poison Capsule" has become a mystery.

Gu Chang'an said: “I don’t know where I’m flowing now, and I don’t know where I’m hiding. In the case of prisoners, we stepped up our efforts to interrogate the entire case. The second step was to increase the effort to track down fugitives and to find out The destination and number of hollow capsules."

The poison capsule revives who should blush?

The Ninghai County Procuratorate of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, reported on an illegal drug capsule case on the 2nd. 11 people including Panmou were arrested for the crime of producing and selling toxic and harmful food. Two years later, the resurgence of Xinchang's “toxic capsules” has once again proved that the special crackdowns and rectifications by the regulatory authorities of the food and drug industry can not be gustless, and they must be relentless and strict.

In 2012, the media revealed that some companies in Hebei used lime to dispose of leather waste, made it into industrial gelatin, and sold it to some companies in Zhejiang Xinchang to make medicinal capsules, which eventually flowed into drug companies. However, two years later, in the face of huge profits, some people are willing to take the risk and ignore the legal and moral bottom line.

At present, a large number of "toxic capsules" with excessive levels of heavy metals have entered the market. Whoever is a buyer of "poisonous capsules" must also follow suit. If the pharmaceutical manufacturers involved have already used these “toxic capsules” pharmaceuticals, they should promptly recall them. At the same time, the person responsible for purchasing these "toxic capsules" must be scrutinized.

The resurgence of “toxic capsules” has also raised a wake-up call for food and drug regulatory authorities at all levels. It is imperative to monitor strictly the key areas with a high degree of responsibility. There should be no relaxation in all aspects. This is not only responsible for the health of consumers but also responsible for the market economic order.
