Traditional Chinese medicine company Beijing Tong Ren Tang Group Co Sunday announced that its signature broken-cell bee pollen tablets do not contain illegal additives.
In September 2012, some consumers and media alleged that the mannitol added to the products was illegal. "After our investigation, the use of mannitol, namely D-Mannitol, complies with the government's standards for food additives," said the company in a statement posted on its official website Sunday.
Tong Ren Tang has been accused of producing substandard medicines six times in the past two years, and has recently issued five statements to respond to the accusations.
