After Been Pleasant Goat milk powder was found to have failed a random inspection in Anhui and was fined, another foreign milk powder sold by an Anhui company has failed. Recently, relevant notices issued by the Beijing Administration for Market Regulation showed that the Enoxo Platinum Stage 1 milk powder from Spain was unqualified. In addition to failing the vitamin D item, the banned substance vanillin was also detected. This milk powder is actually what is commonly referred to as "the foundation of childhood."
Hu Lili also discovered an incredible thing. Youzhiben’s Chinese general distributor was sued by Youzhiben’s parent company.

Youzhiben was found to be unqualified
The "Notice of the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation on the Risk Control of Unqualified Food (Issue 4, 2022)" issued by the Beijing Administration for Market Regulation on June 27 shows : Jingdong Mall "Qiaomai Maternal and Infant Flagship Store" sells Enopio infant formula milk powder (0-6 months old, stage 1), the vitamin D and vanillin items do not meet the regulations.
The law enforcement department of the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone delivered an inspection report to the "JD Mall" platform and conducted an on-site inspection. After investigation, the operating company was Hefei Qiaomai Trading Co., Ltd. At present, "Jingdong Mall" has stopped providing platform services for substandard food operated by Hefei Qiaomai Trading Co., Ltd.
According to my country's current relevant regulations, the addition of vanillin to stage 1 infant milk powder is prohibited. Regarding the addition of vanillin and other flavoring substances to infant milk powder, dairy industry expert Wang Dingming once made it clear: "Adding anything to food requires cost, and should be added only when necessary. Obviously, spices do not necessarily need to be added."
Wang Dingmian further pointed out: Because spices are not nutrients, they just change the flavor and taste. If a child has been eating milk powder without added flavors since he was a child, he will not refuse any other brand product; however, if he eats milk powder containing spices, he may become dependent on the product.
It is also worth noting that Yizhiben is also the second Spanish infant milk powder company to overturn in China.
In 2019, as the only self-owned milk powder brand of ILAS Group, one of the largest dairy production plants in Europe, Spain's Alley was found to be unqualified; in January 2020, the Beijing regulatory authorities issued a notice to its distributor Beijing Zhongrui Tiande International Trading Co., Ltd. made a penalty decision.

The general distributor has become a "old man"
Nonsense. A reasonable inquiry found that the original manufacturer of Inopio is Spanish ALTER FARMACIA, S.A. (Alter FARMACIA, S.A.).
Public information shows that Ote Pharmaceuticals has a history of more than 80 years. The founder, Juan José Alonso Grijalba, a pharmacist, founded Ote Pharmaceuticals in Madrid, the capital of Spain. In 1963, Ote Pharmaceuticals launched a series of infant food products and established the brand. Nutribén (the foundation of childhood).
However, even this company, which claims to be a pharmaceutical company, also had trouble with its infant milk powder. Hu Shuoyi discovered that its general agent in China is Youzhiyuan (Beijing) Nutritional Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Youzhiyuan Company).
Previously, milk powder companies that fell on the "flavor" issue were eventually severely fined. From this point of view, related companies with a small foundation should not be able to escape this disaster.
The nonsense is justified. I checked through and found an interesting problem. This Chinese general distributor was actually sued by Ote Pharmaceuticals.
Qichacha shows that in April 2021, the Beijing No. 4 Intermediate People’s Court issued a “consumption restriction order” to Youzhiyuan, and the executor of the application was Oute Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. As for the specific reasons why both parties went to court, Hu is justified and no more public information has been found.
In addition, Qichacha also showed that a message on October 11, 2021 showed that Youzhiyuan Beijing Company and Beijing Hexin Xingtong Trading Co., Ltd. were listed as persons subject to execution by the court, and the execution target was both 10.959 million yuan.
If Youzhiyuan Company still owes so much debt and becomes an "old debtor", how will it deal with the administrative penalties it may face next?

Foreign milk powder is poured on the flavor one after another.
In fact, Yizhiben Enopao is not the first company to be found to have "flavor".In the past two years, vanillin has been detected in imported milk powder brands one after another.
Just in March this year, the Hefei Market Supervision Bureau notified the "Hefei Qinyu Maternal and Infant Products Co., Ltd.'s behavior case of operating infant milk powder that uses food additives beyond the scope of the scope." "Beenxi" infant formula goat milk powder (0-6 months old, stage 1), illegal income of 706.8 yuan was confiscated and fined 82,344.6 yuan. The reason for its failure was also the failure of the vanillin project.
After the incident with this product, Beinxi (Hunan) Dairy Co., Ltd. issued a statement saying: "After strict investigation within the factory, the reason for this situation is that the wet process factory personnel did not strictly abide by the production operating specifications, resulting in the base powder of this batch of milk powder A small amount of vanillin was mistakenly mixed during the production process, which is an accidental incident." It also emphasized that its "no vanillin or other food flavors are added to the first section of infant formula goat milk powder or even the entire series of ingredients."
However, in what aspects did the factory personnel fail to comply with what operating standards? Secondly, according to what Beinxi said above, all its products do not add vanillin, so why is "vanillin" mixed in during factory processing? What is this vanillin used for?
However, the statement of Beinxi (Hunan) Dairy Co., Ltd. did not respond to all the above key questions.
The shareholders of Enxi (Hunan) Dairy Co., Ltd. are Zhou Huohui and Qu Yunlai, with shareholding ratios of 67% and 33% respectively. The company also made a 2% equity investment in Shaanxi Shengtang Dairy Co., Ltd. .
What’s even more interesting is that not long after the incident with Beinxi’s imported milk powder, it announced that it would jointly launch the first domestic infant formula goat milk powder with Shengtang Dairy , and also gave it a somewhat deceptive name “Wei”. Erpus V Plus”. In fact, this product is actually the "Bai Bijia" milk powder that Shengtang Dairy obtained the formula registration more than a year ago. Now it has just changed its vest and is known to the outside world as the "domestic" milk powder of "Beenxi" , it seems that consumers really need to keep their eyes open.
