Oriental selection, call the police!
On February 20, a topic about "Oriental Selection Police" rushed to the hot search list, causing concern and heated discussions.

According to insiders, the weight of the sample sent by the whistleblower for testing was 1 kilogram, which was 1The 65 kg white shrimp is inconsistent, and the report information does not reflect the information of Dongfang Selection products, and it is possible that the samples submitted for testing are not Dongfang Selection products.
Regarding the report of Dongfang Selection, the official customer service staff of Dongfang Selection responded that for the batch sent by a certain anchor for inspection, Dongfang Selection also carried out testing, and the results of the inspection were in line with the requirements of national standards. Dongfang Selection will test the products every month, and the products will also be tested through customs, so consumers can buy with confidence.
The test report that meets the requirements of the national standard can be seen on the product detail page, and the composition of white shrimp is only shrimp, water and salt. The above-mentioned staff member said.
After Dongfang Selection responded, Wang Hai posted on Weibo again: He had pretended to be a sea shrimp, but it was actually farmed shrimp, and the test report posted also measured sulfur dioxide. This Ecuadorian white shrimp was reported by consumers last year for falsely promoting wild prawns, but when Dongfang Selection customer service explained to consumers, it admitted that it was artificially stocked South American white shrimp.
Wang Hai said that when you click on the details page of this South American white shrimp, you can see the test report uploaded by Dongfang Selection. Sulphur dioxide residues were also detected. In the last item of the test report, the residue of sulfur dioxide is 00220g kg, the detection method is the same as the revelation. However, sodium metabisulfite is not indicated on the ingredient list of this product.

Report the Storm
According to the cover news report, Wang Hai said that this anti-counterfeiting ** came from the whistleblower's revelations, "The whistleblower bought this product and sent it for inspection, but the inspection results did not match the product promotion." ”
The whistleblower said that Dongfang Selection sold as many as 6.95 million orders of this shrimp product, but it was suspected of concealing and overusing the shrimp medicine - sodium metabisulfite, a preservative and bleach.
In the ingredient list column of this "Ecuadorian Imported Frozen South American White Shrimp", only "South American White Shrimp, Water, Salt" is displayed. Wang Hai said that when Dong Yuhui brought the goods in the live broadcast room, he specifically mentioned the ingredient list. According to the ** released by Wang Hai, Dong Yuhui introduced in the live broadcast that the country of origin of this shrimp is "Ecuador", the size is "2030", and the ingredients are "shrimp water and salt".
The whistleblower's inspection report showed that the product was detected with 0 sulfur dioxide residues155g/kg。
China's "GB2760-2014 National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives" stipulates the varieties, scope of use and maximum use or residue of sulfur-containing food additives allowed in food, among them, frozen seawater shrimp and crabs and their products, sodium metabisulfite is used as an antioxidant and preservative, the maximum amount of use is calculated by sulfur dioxide residue, and the maximum amount shall not exceed 01g/kg。
This product detected a sulfur dioxide residue of 0155g kg, which means that sodium metabisulfite is used in excess. Wang Hai said in ** that he concealed the fact of adding sodium metabisulfite and added excessive amount, "This is suspected of malicious fraud of consumers." ”
He also suggested that Dongfang Selection take the initiative to refund consumers and spend 6.9 billion to buy a responsible image.
Where does sulfur dioxide residue come from?
According to the cover news report, after the shrimp are caught out of the water, the head is easy to turn black, and the industry generally uses sodium metabisulfite, which is commonly known as "shrimp medicine", as a preservative. Sodium metabisulfite produces water-soluble sulfur dioxide during the decomposition process, resulting in sulfur dioxide residues.
According to China Quality News Network, a well-known food expert 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 gastrointestinal health. In the case of excessive food, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether it is added by itself or brought by the body, and it is recommended that it can be traced. She also said that if consumers think that the food they buy exceeds the standard, it is recommended that consumers do not eat it or eat it in small amounts.
Regarding the question that consumers want a refund due to relevant reports, the official customer service staff of Oriental Selection responded that if the shrimp products are damaged or have quality problems, consumers can consult after-sales. However, since shrimp is a fresh product, if there is no problem with the product itself, no refund is allowed.
"There are many people who are popular".
In less than 2 months this year, Dongfang Selection has encountered Wang Hai's three "crackdowns".
On January 22, Wang Hai and China Food Safety Network both hit a self-operated brand "Wuchang Rice Daohuaxiang No. 2" selected by Dongfang to bring goods. According to the test, the genetic similarity between the rice DNA fingerprint of this rice and the standard sample of Daohuaxiang No. 2 was only 8423%, which was judged to be "different varieties".
On February 4, Wang Hai announced the latest development, consumers who buy "Dongfang Selected Wuchang Rice" can first apply to the Douyin platform to protect their rights, and the platform currently supports only refunds.
It is reported that Dong Yuhui and Sun Dongxu have both brought goods for this Wuchang rice, and Dong Yuhui once brought fire to this Wuchang rice with his "small composition".
At present, Dongfang Selection's "Wuchang Rice Daohuaxiang No. 2" is still on sale, and its customer service said, "For this rice, we have an authoritative official testing agency for the DNA of plant varieties, and the result is indeed Daohuaxiang No. 2 (scientific name Wuyoudao No. 4)." We will strictly control the quality of the products, so please feel free to eat them. ”
In addition to Wuchang rice, another product selected by Dongfang to bring goods, tiq Tianqi prune juice, was also counterfeited by Wang Hai.
On January 19, Wang Hai posted that "tiq Tianqi prune juice" was detected with laxative ingredients. Last year, a consumer broke the news to Wang Hai that he had diarrhea symptoms after buying this prune juice, and consumers suspected that diarrhea drugs were added to the product.
Starting in August 2023, Wang Hai placed an order for 10 packs of "tiq Tianqi prune juice" from the Douyin Oriental Selection live broadcast room, and sent some samples for testing in the same month.
The results showed that the sample of "TIQ Celestial Prune Juice" was detected to contain sennoside A and sennoside B, both of which have similar pharmacological effects and have a "laxative effect", which is commonly regarded as laxatives. In addition, the samples were also found to contain sorbic acid.
It is reported that Dongfang Selection claimed when bringing the goods, "The ingredient list is very clean, 100% only prune juice", and the official *** of the product also advertises "0 additives" and "no laxative ingredients".
Dongfang Selection's customer service said that the matter has been fed back to the relevant departments for processing. At present, it is no longer possible to search for "tiq Tianqi prune juice" in the official store window of Dongfang Selection.
At present, the share price of Oriental Selection has retraced by 68% compared to the 2023 high.
In addition, the operating performance of Dongfang Selection has also fallen into the situation of "increasing revenue but not increasing profits". According to the company's interim results report for the fiscal year 2024 ended November 30, 2023, Dongfang Selection's interim total revenue was 279.5 billion yuan, an increase of 344%；Net profit was 24.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of **574%；Basic earnings per share were 025 yuan, down 56 year-on-year9%。
