According to the article, a consumer recently purchased 10 cases of milk from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region brand 'Ma Sansan' through live commerce. Recently, upon drinking it, they noticed it had no taste, so they cut open the carton with scissors to check. It turned out that the contents were not milk but a transparent liquid, so they were surprised and put their finger down their throat to throw up. Their child had also drunk this milk, raising their anxiety about whether there were any safety issues with what had been consumed so far.

In a video released online, of the three cartons opened on the spot, transparent liquid was poured out from two cartons, and milk came out from the third carton.

According to the article, the manufacturer, Xinjiang Ma Sansanjiang Pure Milk Industry, explained that in the factory, purified water is filled daily when equipment is started to test whether the packaging meets production standards, and due to a sorting error by a worker, a test sample got mixed in with the products and was mistakenly released into the market.
Furthermore, the company's chairman, Ma Liang, publicly apologized in a video on the 24th, explaining that they had contacted the party involved and handled the situation appropriately. In his statement, Chairman Ma stated that they would comprehensively strengthen the isolated management of samples and also announced that they would offer a 'no-return refund' to customers who purchased products from the problematic batch (674 orders).

Related authorities, including the Changji City Market Supervision Administration of the autonomous region, issued a notice on the evening of the 23rd, announcing that they had established an investigation team and launched a comprehensive on-site inspection of the company.
