Statement from the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee regarding the declaration from Tong Ren Tang: We hope that all reform measures will be fully implemented.

Beijing Tongrentang Group issued a statement on December 20 regarding the issue of "Antarctic krill oil". The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission expressed high concern about this: First of all, we welcome the attitude of Beijing Tongrentang Group towards facing the issue. Secondly, the rectification measures introduced by Beijing Tongrentang Group actually responded to the demands made by the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission during the talks with relevant operators, representing the interests of consumers. However, the final results of the rectification will still be determined by the facts, especially by the actual feelings of consumers. Therefore, we hope that Beijing Tongrentang Group can effectively implement all the rectification measures. Finally, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission, in accordance with the law, will conduct social supervision and consumer reminders on issues related to Antarctic krill oil products, which is not only fulfilling its duty to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, but also aiming to purify the market of health functional foods and uphold the reputation of Chinese time-honored brands.
