In 2022, Jiangzhong Food Therapy sued several companies making monkey head mushroom biscuits, sparking a dispute over trademark rights and the fair use of a generic ingredient name. Courts ruled in favor of Jiangzhong Food Therapy in some cases, while the sued companies and their lawyers objected to restrictions on the use of the words 'monkey head mushroom.' The operating entity Jiangzhong Food Therapy had changed its controlling shareholder in 2017.
