The regulatory body identified 31 batches of unqualified TCM decoction pieces produced by 22 different companies, including notable manufacturers such as Bozhou Haomen TCM Decoction Pieces Co., Ltd., Heze Jianmin TCM Decoction Pieces Co., Ltd., and Anguo Qiao TCM Decoction Pieces Co., Ltd.

The Shandong Provincial Food and Drug Administration has directed relevant municipal bureaus to enhance oversight of the non-compliant products and companies. These bureaus are responsible for ensuring that companies thoroughly investigate the root causes of the quality deficiencies, develop and implement effective corrective actions, and proactively mitigate any remaining risks associated with their products. This announcement underscores the provincial administration's dedication to maintaining product quality and safety within the TCM market.
