Huang, head of the Planning and Technology Management Group, said that false rumors about the safety of food, medicines, medical devices and cosmetics on the Internet, Facebook and online forums will be responded one by one, and experts in medicine, pharmacy, toxicology, risk assessment, nutrition, food science and other fields will be invited to provide professional advice and relevant correct content to respond. In addition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) exploring rumors by itself, people are also welcome to provide relevant online questions, and FDA will provide answers to these statements. This area will provide new information from time to time, and if there is a major rumor immediately, there will be a press release.
In the first wave of "food and drug rumor-dispelling area", there are six online claims that need to be dispelled, the oldest of which is that "fresh milk contains sulfanilamide" and "milk tea contains organophosphorus" circulated four years ago, and the latest is that "the line about banning the sale of mustard oil in Europe is spreading wildly", which is of course not true. In addition, it also includes "eating toast will cause cancer" and other issues. If people want to know how many false rumors there are on the Internet, they can visit this area from time to time. In addition, the "Internet Rumors, Questions and Answers" section of the "Health 99" website of the Ministry of Health has similar functions for reference.
