At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Health on the morning of May 11, Yan Weixing, executive deputy director of the Nutrition and Food Safety Institute of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in answer to reporters' questions that some ingredients and raw materials in Wang Laoji are indeed not included in the list of permitted Chinese medicinal materials published by the Ministry of Health.

The news came out, Guangdong Jiaduobao Group and Guangzhou Wanglaoji Pharmaceutical, the two major producers of Wanglaoji herbal tea, said they were caught off guard and were holding an emergency meeting to discuss the response. Zhang Junxiu, president of the Guangdong Food Association, which has been strongly promoting the industrialization of Guangdong herbal tea, questioned: "In 2005, the National Ministry of Health had made a 'consent to the record of approval' for 'summer hay', why the opposite argument this time?"
