Recently, China Central Television (CCTV) exposed a black-market operation involving counterfeit aged tangerine peel (‘Chenpi’), revealing how unscrupulous vendors produce fake Chenpi at extremely low costs and sell it at prices dozens of times higher than production cost, reaping enormous profits. Investigations found that these so-called ‘Chenpi’ products are not made from authentic Xinhui tangerine peels naturally aged over years, but rather from ordinary orange peels artificially dyed, sulfur-fumigated, and flavored with synthetic additives. Such fakes offer no medicinal benefits and may even pose health risks.Chenpi, a traditional Chinese herbal ingredient and culinary seasoning, is valued for its ability to regulate qi, strengthen the spleen, and resolve phlegm. Authentic Chenpi—especially from Xinhui in Guangdong Province—is highly prized, with older, higher-quality batches commanding premium prices. This has led to widespread counterfeiting. CCTV undercover reporters discovered that some workshops can produce one kilogram of fake Chenpi for just a few cents and sell it for hundreds or even thousands of yuan per kilogram—a profit margin exceeding 20-fold.Experts advise consumers to purchase Chenpi only from reputable sources and to check its color, aroma, and texture: genuine Chenpi appears reddish-brown or dark brown, emits a natural citrus fragrance, and feels dry and firm. Counterfeits often have unnaturally bright colors and harsh or chemical-like odors. Authorities are also urged to intensify crackdowns on such fraudulent practices to protect consumer rights and market integrity.
近日，央视曝光了一起涉及‘假陈皮’的黑产案件，揭露部分不法商家以极低成本制作假冒陈皮，并以正品价格数十倍高价出售，牟取暴利。据调查，这些所谓‘陈皮’并非由正宗新会柑皮经多年自然陈化制成，而是用普通橘子皮染色、熏硫、添加香精等手段伪造而成，不仅毫无药用价值，还可能对人体健康造成危害。陈皮作为传统中药材和调味品，具有理气健脾、燥湿化痰等功效，尤其以广东新会所产最为知名，年份越久、品质越高，价格也越昂贵。正因如此，市场上出现了大量以次充好、以假乱真的产品。央视记者暗访发现，一些作坊仅用几毛钱成本即可制作一斤‘假陈皮’，再以每斤数百甚至上千元的价格售出，利润高达20倍以上。专家提醒消费者，选购陈皮应认准正规渠道，注意观察颜色、气味和质地：真陈皮呈棕红色或深褐色，有自然清香，质地干硬；而假货往往颜色过于鲜艳、气味刺鼻或有化学味。同时，监管部门也应加强打击制假售假行为，维护市场秩序与消费者权益。
