Meicheng moon cakes were removed from the shelves on multiple platforms, and the customer service said they had compliance qualifications! Zeng Zhiwei did not respond positively
The "Crazy Little Brother Yang" and Meicheng mooncake controversy continues to ferment. On September 17, Nandu reporters searched multiple online shopping and live broadcast platforms and found that all mooncake products have been removed from the official store of Meicheng Mooncake. The customer service of Meicheng Li Food Flagship Store told Nandu reporters, "We do hold legal compliance production licenses and related qualifications." And Zeng Zhiwei, who used to "platform" for the brand in the "Little Brother Yang" live stream, has also been controversial recently for avoiding questions about the "mooncake controversy".
Mr. Tsang avoided questions about the "mooncake scandal" in the interview.
A few days ago, the head live streaming host "Crazy Little Brother Yang" and the Hong Kong Maicheng mooncakes sold in its live stream caused a lot of controversy due to the origin issue. On September 17, Nandu reporters noticed that the brand’s two online stores, "Maicheng Li Food Flagship Store" and "Maicheng Li Official Flagship Store", had emptied all products.
In response, the customer service staff of "Meicheng Li Food Flagship Store" responded to the Nandu reporter, saying, "We do hold the legal compliance production license and relevant qualifications issued by the relevant state agencies, and strictly control the whole process and promise the official genuine product. If you see the special promise of’fake one pays three ‘on a live streaming host’s live broadcast or social media platform, we recommend that you directly contact the live streaming host or expert for confirmation and processing." When asked why all products were removed from the shelves, the customer service staff only repeated the above content.
Subsequently, Nandu reporters searched multiple online shopping platforms and found that the official flagship store of Meicheng Mooncakes had removed all moon cake products from the shelves, only cookies, egg rolls and other products. The customer service of the store replied that "there is no stock" on the removal of moon cakes. At present, there are no Meicheng brand moon cakes in the window of "Crazy Little Brother Yang" and its accounts.
It is worth mentioning that Zeng Zhiwei previously "stood" for Meicheng mooncakes in the live stream of "Crazy Little Brother Yang", and said that "this gift-giving is really very good". When the streamer said that "they all know it in Hong Kong", Zeng Zhiwei did not deny it. During the finals of Hong Kong Sister on September 15, Zeng Zhiwei was asked in a group visit "how to think about the mooncake storm", and he directly put down the microphone and left, which caused controversy. However, Zeng Zhiwei’s social platform account still retains the interactive content with Little Brother Yang.
Nandu previously reported that "Crazy Brother Yang" introduced Meicheng mooncakes as "high-end mooncakes" when bringing goods, "there are words on it, ‘Hong Kong Meicheng’". However, some netizens pointed out that the origin of the mooncakes is not Hong Kong, and the "Meicheng" brand has no reputation in Hong Kong and no offline stores, questioning the "false propaganda" of the live streaming host.
On the 17th, a reporter from Nandu learned from the Hefei High-tech Zone Market Supervision Bureau that it had filed an investigation into the suspected "misleading consumers" and other behaviors of the Three Sheep Network Technology Co., Ltd. Previously, the official blog of the Hefei High-tech Zone Management Committee had informed that "the District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and relevant departments have repeatedly interviewed and urged enterprises to standardize business behavior", but it was deleted shortly after publication.
