The ingredients are only raw milk, 46 starts with a Russian exclusive barcode, what you see is what you get, 2 packs as long as 69$9. In the live broadcast room, the blue-and-white packaging of "Russian milk powder" filled the shelves.
Recently, Mr. Lin (pseudonym) reported to Red Star News that he saw a milk powder called "Russian My-My Milk Powder" in the Douyin live broadcast room, and two packs only sold for 69$9. After receiving the tasting, Mr. Lin found that the milk powder had no milk taste, only flavor, and he suspected that it was a fake milk powder without milk. Red Star News bought a copy of "Russian My-My Milk Powder" from the window of the live broadcast account, tasted it, and the flavor was very strong.
In December 2023, Red Star News purchased 19 "Russian milk powders" with different packages from 3 e-commerce platforms and sent them to the "Daddy Evaluation" laboratory for testing. The test results showed that 3 of the "milk powder" did not contain milk, and the other 3 "milk powder" had very low protein content, which was far from the standard of milk powder. In other words, a total of 6 models are fake milk powders.
It is not a secret in the industry that it is not a secret in the industry that underground factories use non-dairy creamer and flavor to forge milk powder, pass off as milk powder from Russia, New Zealand and other countries, and bring goods at low prices through e-commerce platforms and live broadcasts.
Red Star News learned from the market supervision and administration bureaus in many places that in recent years, the market supervision department has noticed the problem of small workshops producing counterfeit "Russian milk powder" and has dealt with a group of personnel. Among them, the person involved in the case in Tongxu County, Henan Province, was arrested on January 24, 2024.
Buy 19 "Russian milk powders".6 were fake milk powdersOn the Douyin platform, searching for "Russian milk powder" can find multiple accounts starting with the word "Russian" that are bringing goods. In different live broadcast rooms, the blue and white packaging of "Russian my-my milk powder" frequently appeared, and there was a white castle stick figure pattern above the package.
Red Star News saw that an account named "Russian Imported Milk Powder" has repeatedly livestreamed this milk powder. From November 20, 2023 to December 17, 2023, 30 live broadcasts were held, and 40 live broadcasts were held from December 20, 2023 to January 25, 2024. Other live broadcast rooms sell "Russian camel milk powder" and "New Zealand imported goat milk powder".
Screenshot of the live broadcast room with goods on December 7, 2023.
In the ** posted by the account, a woman with brown hair and a knitted hat is holding two packets of "Huaniu Russian Milk Powder" written in Russian, and the European-style architecture behind it is faintly visible. With the background of "Katyusha" **, the woman said in non-standard Chinese: "Such a big bag of milk powder, 850 grams, buy a bag, I will give you another bag." Believe me, Russian, you just give it a try. ”
In December 2023, Red Star News purchased 18 "Russian milk powder" and 1 "Russian camel milk powder" from different stores on 3 e-commerce platforms, and entrusted "Daddy Evaluation" to submit them for inspection.
The test results showed that 3 milk powders were not detected with bovine DNA and did not contain milk. Although the 2 "milk powders" were detected with bovine DNA, the protein content was very low, respectively. 87%, far from the standard of milk powder. "Camel milk powder" was detected with bovine DNA, but not camel DNA, and the protein content was only 099%, suspected to be "camel milk" passed off from a small amount of milk.
Laboratory test results.
According to the official website of "Daddy Evaluation", the evaluation was founded in 2015 by **"Daddy Evaluation", and its business includes the evaluation of consumer products through professional technology and instruments, and the provision of testing consulting.
Ms. Chen, a food technology engineer, told Red Star News that the laboratory mainly referred to three indicators for this test: protein, calcium and bovine-derived ingredients. Usually, people drink milk powder for the purpose of ingesting calcium and protein, and the test results show that the 6 fake milk powders with substandard protein content are also very low in calcium. For the products with abnormally low protein and calcium content, the laboratory conducted re-testing, and finally confirmed that 3 of the milk powder did not contain bovine-derived ingredients, and no bovine DNA was detected, which is a fake that does not contain a drop of milk.
According to Ms. Chen, the protein content of full-fat milk powder is usually not less than 24%. According to the definition in the "National Food Safety Standard - Milk Powder (GB 19644-2010)", "powdered products with raw cow (sheep) milk or its processed products as the main raw materials, adding other raw materials, adding or not adding food additives and nutritional enhancers, and the milk solid content is not less than 70% after processing" is "prepared milk powder", and the protein content in the prepared milk powder should reach at least 165%。
Fake milk powder packaging information is confusingSeveral stores have been deactivatedAccording to the test results, the "Russian My-My Milk Powder" purchased by Red Star News from the Douyin store "Milk Source Shop", the green bagged "Russian Kahectbo Milk Powder" purchased from the *store "Russia Russia Select Dairy Store", and the bagged "Russian Altai Milk Powder" purchased from the Pinduoduo store "Old Russian Shop (now renamed)" did not detect cow DNA and did not contain milk ingredients. Before press time, the above-mentioned stores have removed the milk powder purchased by Red Star News.
Red Star News noticed that the label information of these three "milk powder" without milk was confusing, and the Chinese company was not marked, which was difficult to trace.
The Chinese label of "Russian my-my milk powder" shows that the ingredients are "made from raw milk drying spray", and the manufacturer is "Russian Uralsk Dairy Factory", and the address is "57 Theater Street, Ozersk, Cheribinsk". The green bags of "Russian Kahectbo Milk Powder" and "Russian Altai Milk Powder" are also labeled with the same producer, at the address "5 Theater Street, Ozersk, Cheribinsk".
However, on the website of the "Russian Uralsk Dairy Plant", there are no three milk powders mentioned above. According to satellite maps, 5 Theater Street in Ozersk is just an ordinary house and about 23 kilometers away from the Uralsk Dairy in Russia. As for "57 Theater Street, Ozersk City, Chelibinsk", it is not available on the map.
Logistics information shows that 3 types of "milk powder" without milk: "Russian my-my milk powder" was shipped from Tongxu County, Kaifeng, Henan; "Russian Kahectbo Milk Powder" was shipped from Erqi Mazhai Town, Zhengzhou, Henan, and "Russian Altai Milk Powder" was shipped from Zhumadian, Henan.
The "Milk Source Shop" that sells "Russian My-My Milk Powder" is recommended by the account "Russian Imported Milk Powder Selection (Douyin 70047550149)". As of press time, the account has been emptied of the product window. According to the account homepage, the account is certified as "Quanzhou Suzhou Hangzhou Commerce and Trade *** Employee".
Tianyancha shows that Quanzhou Suzhou Hangzhou Commerce and Trade *** is located in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, is a wholesale industry-based enterprise, the legal representative is Su, and the company's supervisor is Yan.
On January 22, Red Star News called Su as a collaborator. The other party said that the "Russian milk powder" it sells is from various "stores" and "it is not easy to sell now" because "there are too many competitors". Red Star News called Yan as a collaborator, and when asked whether the products he sold were fake milk powder, Yan said, "I don't know what you're talking about, if you have any questions, you can go through the (consumer complaints) process normally." ”
Although the "Belarus Imported High-Calcium Whole Milk Powder Flavored Solid Drink" purchased by Red Star News from Pinduoduo "Qianyucheng Food" and the "Old-fashioned Milk Powder Yellow Bag Whole Milk Powder" purchased from the ** "Yanxuan Russian Product Museum" were detected with cow DNA, their protein content was very low, far from meeting the standard of preparing milk powder, and could not be counted as "milk powder". Among them, there is no Chinese label on the packaging of "old-fashioned milk powder yellow bag whole milk powder".
The "Russian Bactrian Camel Milk Powder" purchased by Red Star News from the Douyin ** store "Tairenchang Trading Bank" did not detect camel DNA, but detected cow DNA and low protein content, which is suspected to be "camel milk" passed off with a small amount of milk.
3 "milk powders" with very low protein content: "high-calcium whole milk powder flavored solid drink imported from Belarus" from Xinzheng City, Henan Province; "Old-fashioned milk powder yellow bag whole milk powder" from Suifenhe City, Heilongjiang; "Russian Bactrian Camel Milk Powder" came from Shishi City, Fujian Province. As of press time, the "Belarusian imported high-calcium whole milk powder flavored solid drink" and "Russian Bactrian camel milk powder" purchased by Red Star News have been removed from the shelves.
Milk Powder Practitioners:Counterfeit and shoddy products "touch porcelain"**low packaging**According to the information retrieved by the judgment document network, between 2017 and 2023, there are 44 civil cases related to "Russian milk powder", and many online stores have been accused of counterfeit products because the packaging bags of "Russian milk powder" sold have no Chinese label and do not show the import declaration form to customers.
Mr. Feng, the relevant person in charge of Luoyang Huiyuan Dairy, and Ms. Yu, the relevant person in charge of Sixing Economic and Trade in Heihe City, told Red Star News that because some small workshops imitate the packaging appearance of their company's products with fake milk powder made and sold with non-dairy creamer, many consumers mistakenly believe that a variety of fake milk powder on the market are produced by these two companies, and they have also received a large number of complaints about "fake milk powder".
Mr. Feng told Red Star News that the blue-packaged "Russian My-My Milk Powder" and the green-packaged "Russian Kahectbo Milk Powder" purchased by the reporter this time imitated the packaging appearance of Huiyuan Dairy's "Blue Milk Powder" and "Green Milk Powder" respectively.
Mr. Feng said that in 2022, Huiyuan Dairy registered the appearance of the milk powder packaging called "Blue Milk Powder". The main body of the package is dark blue and white. There is the trademark of Huiyuan Dairy's "Eagle Jixiang" above the package, and a white cow is written in the middle of the package, and the word "my-my" is written below the package. At the same time, it also designed packaging appearance works such as "Green Milk Powder" and "Flower Milk Powder".
Mr. Feng explained that "my" is the pinyin abbreviation of "Charming Hui Yuan". Unlike those counterfeit products that do not contain milk, the nutritional content of "my-my" milk powder produced by Huiyuan Dairy meets national standards.
According to Mr. Feng, after buying "my-my" milk powder in another store on Douyin**, it was found that the outer packaging of the two milk powders was obviously different. The newly purchased milk powder has Chinese content on the side of the package, the product name is "Huiyuan Blue Milk Powder", the product category is "Prepared Milk Powder", and the ingredient list includes whole milk powder (raw milk), whey powder, and calcium carbonate. The address of the entrusting unit is in the Kingdom of Spain, and the business address is at 34 Microkhamakra Street, Moscow, Russian Federation. After tasting, the taste is clearly different from "Russian my-my milk powder", with a milky taste.
Mr. Feng said that Huiyuan Dairy had already noticed that multiple accounts on the e-commerce platform were selling "Russian My-My Milk Powder", which were all fake milk powders imitating Huiyuan Dairy's "Blue Cow". They replaced the trademark of Huiyuan Dairy's "Eagle Auspicious Elephant" with a white castle and other patterns. Some small workshops that produce and sell fake milk powder are shipped from Henan, and Huiyuan Dairy, which is also in Henan, has been deeply affected, which has caused Mr. Feng a headache.
Mr. Feng mentioned that Huiyuan Dairy also holds a patent for the appearance of a milk powder can with a white bottle and a blue cap, and the milk powder is called "Huiyuan Blue Fat Man". In recent years, Mr. Feng has noticed that the appearance and packaging of "goat milk powder imported from New Zealand" sold by multiple accounts in the live broadcast room are similar to that of "Blue Fat Man", and even named the account after "Blue Fat Man". However, the "milk powder" sold in these live broadcast rooms was not authorized by Huiyuan Dairy, and the products were not purchased from Huiyuan Dairy.
Mr. Feng said that the practices of these people have damaged the credibility of Huiyuan Dairy, and also made the real Huiyuan Dairy's blue fat sales significant**. Huiyuan Dairy was even sued by consumers who bought fake milk powder, and finally the other party withdrew the lawsuit because it could not prove that the milk powder bought was produced by Huiyuan Dairy.
Tianyancha shows that Luoyang Huiyuan Dairy was established in 2006 and is located in Luoyang City, Henan Province. Between 2021 and 2023, the company registered patents such as "Huiyuan Blue Fat", "Pure Cow Blue Fat", and "Mirenhy".
Red Star News purchased several milk powders labeled as Luoyang Huiyuan Dairy by the entrusted processing unit, and the protein content was tested to meet the standard.
Mr. Yu, the relevant person in charge of Heilongjiang Nova Economic and Trade *** hereinafter referred to as Nova Economy and Trade, also told Red Star News that the so-called "Russian Altai Milk Powder" bought by the reporter copied the appearance of a product called "Moxia Brand Grassland Cow High Calcium Milk Powder (Imported Milk Source Domestic Filling)" jointly operated by Nova Economics and Trade and Sixing Economy and Trade. "Grassland Cow" and transparent packaging "Little White Cow" series of milk powder are all products of the company.
6 types of "milk powder" with abnormal test results. The top row of 3 models, from the left, counterfeited Huiyuan Blue Cattle, Huiyuan Green Cattle and Sixing Economic and Trade "Grassland Cattle"; The bottom three are "solid drinks" with low protein content
Ms. Yu, the relevant person in charge of Sixing Economy and Trade, told Red Star News that in recent years, a number of underground workshops have used non-dairy creamer, flavor and other counterfeit transparent packaging of "Little White Cow" series milk powder, and marked the words "Sixing Economy and Trade" on the label. Sixing Economic and Trade has repeatedly received complaints from consumers about "fake milk powder", but these "fake milk powder" are not produced and sold by Sixing Economic and Trade.
Tianyan check shows that the legal representative of Heihe Sixing Economic and Trade is Li Mingyu. Founded in 2015 and located in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, the company is an enterprise mainly engaged in the wholesale industry. From 2022 to 2023, the company applied for the registration of trademarks such as "Little White Cow", "Rainbow Cow" and "Grassland Cow", and is currently awaiting substantive examination.
The transparent bags of "Kulenada brand small white cow high calcium milk powder" and "Moxia brand rainbow cow high calcium milk powder" purchased by Red Star News this time are the main business of Nova Economic and Trade, and the protein content has been tested to meet the standard.
Small workshops use non-dairy creamer and flavor to forge milk powderSell on e-commerce, live streaming and other platformsIn the past two years, the sales of "Russian milk powder" in the domestic market have increased significantly. A number of imported milk powder practitioners told Red Star News that there is milk powder for sale in the Russian market, and there are also milk powder purchased through Russian companies in the "Russian milk powder" on domestic e-commerce platforms. Many of these formulas are not infant formulas and can only be consumed by people aged 3 or 10 years old.
According to reports, it is no secret that small workshops use low-cost non-dairy creamer and flavor to forge milk powder, pour it into imitation packaging with foreign languages and pretend to be "imported milk powder", and bring goods at a low price through e-commerce platforms and "talents" live broadcasts.
A number of practitioners revealed that it is understood that these small workshops are distributed in Henan, Anhui, Heilongjiang and other places. They have transformed garages and other things into "production workshops", some hiding in residential areas, and some hiding behind the downtown area. Spilled powder can be seen everywhere on the floor and workbench in the "workshop", and the raw materials and packaging boxes are put together, and the hygienic condition is worrying. Milk powder products of qualified quality lack the best advantages and are drowned in cheap fakes that "do not contain a drop of milk".
Mr. Feng of Huiyuan Dairy told Red Star News that the owner of Huiyuan Dairy wants to process milk powder and purchase milk powder raw materials with high quality from all over the world through milk powder raw material suppliers. Mr. Feng said that some of Huiyuan Dairy's products printed with foreign language packaging are positioned to open up foreign markets. Therefore, Huiyuan Dairy has registered a branch in Spain and has a first-class business in Russia. The nutritional content of milk powder products should comply with the national standard GB19644, and the packaging should be traceable and traceable.
According to Mr. Yu of Nova Economics and Trade, from 2017 to 2018, Sixing Economic and Trade and Nova Economic and Trade successively began to make "Russian milk powder"** first in Suifenhe port city, and then gradually opened up the domestic market.
Ms. Yu of Sixing Economic and Trade told the Red Star News reporter that she had met a "customer" who first purchased milk powder from Sixing Economic and Trade for sale, and later imitated the "Little White Cow" series of packaging, embezzled the import procedures of Sixing Economic and Trade, and used non-dairy creamer to produce and sell counterfeit milk powder, and was sued by Sixing Economic and Trade. According to Ms. Yu's understanding, there are at least 6 8 such companies counterfeiting Sixing economic and trade products. "Throughout 2023, we have been dealing with almost all fakes. Ms. Yu said.
Ms. Yu said that after Sixing Economic and Trade reported the situation to the regulatory authorities, the regulatory authorities actively intervened to deal with it. However, after some small workshops were seized, they changed positions to continue production.
Mr. Yu of Nova Economics and Trade said that in recent years, they have noticed that some small workshops have made and sold counterfeit milk powder with reference to the "Little White Cow" series of packaging. There was even a small workshop operator in Lu'an who contacted Mr. Yu, saying that he wanted to "cooperate", but Mr. Yu sternly refused. Mr. Yu said that these counterfeit products jeopardize food safety and also affect the reputation of Nova Economics. The market guide price of the bagged "Little White Cow" operated by Nova Economic and Trade is 499 yuan a pack, and then the price will face a loss, but counterfeit products** can be as low as 20 yuan a pack.
Regulatory authorities step inThe person involved in the reporter's complaint has been arrestedIn recent years, after the regulatory authorities intervened, some small workshops were shut down, and some accounts with goods have stopped live broadcasting. According to the shipping address of the 6 fake milk powders, Red Star News will learn about the situation and complain to the market supervision bureaus in many places.
The staff of the Henan Provincial Administration for Market Supervision told Red Star News that in recent years, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has noticed the problem of small workshops making and selling fake milk powder, and has always attached great importance to it, and investigated and punished some relevant personnel last year. It is worth noting that the registered address of the business license of some online shops does not match the actual one, and the logistics delivery place may not be the location of the "workshop". If consumers find that they have bought counterfeit "imported milk powder", they can call 12315 market supervision and management ** to feedback clues, and the staff will follow up and deal with it in a timely manner.
The staff of the Tongxu County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau reported to Red Star News that after verification, the person involved in the (counterfeit Russian) milk powder complained by the reporter had been arrested on January 24, 2024.
In the previous article, a number of merchants selling counterfeit "Russian milk powder" advertised that it was "suitable for middle-aged and elderly people". Are these "milk powders" falsified with non-dairy creamer likely to cause harm to human health?
According to the precedent published by the court, an underground factory has been investigated for using non-dairy creamer and maltodextrin to imitate "Russian my-my milk powder" and transparent packaging "Russian milk powder".
According to the People's Court Daily, in September 2022, Xu Mouhui, alone and in conjunction with Xu Mouguang, purchased raw materials and production and processing equipment such as solid beverages (non-dairy creamer), maltodextrin, electronic scales, packaging machines, etc., mixed and stirred the purchased raw materials in the leased plant, and filled them into a blue packaging bag (specification 850g) printed with "Russian My-My milk powder" and a transparent packaging bag (specification 500g) of "Russian old-fashioned milk powder". , pretending to be imported milk powder, sold through an online platform.
The case shows that in February 2023, the police sampled and sent the seized "milk powder" for inspection, and the protein content of the "milk powder" sent for inspection did not meet the relevant requirements of the national food safety standards and was an unqualified product. In March 2023, Xu Mouguang surrendered and truthfully confessed the facts of his crime.
After trial, the court held that the defendant's conduct constituted the crime of producing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, and sentenced him to fixed-term imprisonment. After the judgment was rendered, Xu Mouhui appealed, and the Intermediate People's Court ruled to reject the appeal and uphold the original judgment after trial. The case was concluded by the Sui County People's Court of Henan Province.
"Dad's Evaluation" Ms. Chen, a food technology engineer, told Red Star News that sugar and fat are the main ingredients that make up non-dairy creamer. The coarse processing of non-dairy creamer will also contain trans fatty acids, and long-term intake of these substances will endanger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. In addition, if the "milk powder" is not produced and processed in accordance with the hygienic conditions, the total number of colonies in it may exceed the standard. It is even more dangerous for middle-aged and elderly people who have a weak constitution and need to pay attention to the "three highs (high blood lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure)".
The purpose of our milk is to replenish protein and calcium. From this point of view, whether it is cow's milk, goat's milk, or camel milk, the difference in its nutritional composition is not obvious. As long as you choose to drink regular whole milk powder or whole milk, it is enough. Ms. Chen said.
