Re: Tang Koung Herbal Wine Kills Seven; 30 in Hospital (UPDATED)
Nearly 1,000 bottles of Tang Yuan brand in Sampov Lun district have been seized by Economic Police
June 18, 2020, 9:13 PM
Cambodia News, Battambang: Since 9 June 2020, when seven people died and more than 30 were admitted to hospital for poisoning in Banteay Meanchey, provincial economic police have been on the warpath. As a result, authorities found more than 800 bottles of this dangerous substance and have destroyed it.
Since the 10th of June, the special forces led by Colonel Yi Yoshan, the head of the Banteay Meanchey bureau, have been conducting searches for the lethal drink, in shop stalls and markets in both the city and the countryside.
During these searches, authorities discovered the herbal drug was being sold in a market in Sampov Lun district near the Thai border, where they found 68 gallons, or 816 bottles of the drink. It has been confiscated and destroyed and the seller has been reeducated. However, it is believed that the drink is still on sale in the remote countryside where people may not be aware of the danger, and police continue to track down the fatal drink.
Provincial police in Sampov Loun district have so far seized nearly 1,000 bottles of this "medicinal herbal rice wine."

The producer of a wine drink that authorities have linked to seven deaths and more than 30 other people falling ill remains at large, while one man who consumed the methanol-laced beverage remains in hospital, officials said on Friday.
Heng Mealy, the Commerce Ministry’s consumer protection, competition and fraud prevention chief for Phnom Penh, told VOD that the manufacturer of “Taing Kuoy” — a wine product that was sold in half-liter plastic bottles with a label describing supposed health benefits — was still on the run.
Authorities were continuing to investigate, he said.
Officials on Saturday raided a house in Phnom Penh’s Chroy Changvar district where the beverage had been manufactured, but the dwelling was closed and authorities suspected the owner had fled after hearing of the deaths connected to the product, Mealy said on Monday.
