Recently, Wang Hai, a well-known anti-counterfeiter, posted on social platforms**, questioning Dongfang's self-operated Ecuadorian white shrimp for concealing and overusing sodium metabisulfite, which is suspected of defrauding consumers. In response, Dongfang Selection quickly responded, saying that it was going through the alarm process and insisted that its products were compliant.
Wang Hai pointed out in ** that the Dongfang selected South American white shrimp sent by the whistleblower for inspection showed excessive sulfur dioxide residues, which violated China's food safety standards. In this regard, Dongfang Selection's official customer service responded that the company also tested the batches of white shrimp sold, and the results met the requirements of national standards. The company tests the products every month, and the products are also tested by customs before they can enter the market.
Dongfang Selection emphasized that the compliant test report can be seen on the product detail page, and the ingredients of white shrimp are only shrimp, water, and salt, and no other substances are added. In addition, a person familiar with the matter revealed that the samples submitted by the whistleblower for inspection were inconsistent with the specifications sold by Dongfang Selection for a long time, and the information in the report did not reflect the information of Dongfang Selection's products, and it was suspected that the samples submitted for inspection were not Dongfang Selection products.
Regarding this incident, experts said that sodium metabisulfite is mainly used for preservatives, and long-term or excessive consumption of such excessive foods may have an impact on human health. However, Oriental Selection insists that its products are compliant and has initiated an alarm process to protect its rights and interests.
When consumers encounter similar situations, they should remain vigilant, carefully review product information and test reports, and ensure that the food they buy meets national standards. At the same time, for the purchased products, if there are quality problems or doubts, you can contact the after-sales service in time for processing. Dongfang Selection said that it will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter and actively cooperate with relevant departments to conduct investigations to safeguard consumer rights and brand image.
