The reporter learned from the Shanghai Municipal Market Supervision Bureau on December 20 that during a routine inspection of a market in the Shanghai Baoshan District Market Supervision Bureau, the reporter found a tube with a medical needle in a corner of a bullfrog store.
Law enforcement officers immediately read the in-store monitoring and channel videos in the market.
Monitoring shows that the opening time of the store is often one to two hours earlier than the counterparts, and it is vaguely visible that the store personnel are doing something to the bullfrog.
However, the monitoring angle is limited and the image is blurred.
The law enforcement officers immediately decided to squat at night.
After several days of squatting, it was finally found on the night of the fifth day that the person involved was using a water injection tool to infuse the bullfrogs for sale in the place.
The Baoshan District Market Supervision Bureau filed an investigation into the suspected adulteration by pouring water into bullfrogs sold.
Upon investigation, the parties involved in the aforementioned batch of "bullfrogs" purchased a total of 250 kg, with a purchase price of 10.8 yuan/kg, and a total value of 2,950 yuan.
At the time of the case, the aforementioned bullfrogs had not been sold to the outside world and had no illegal gains.
In response to the above-mentioned adulterated and adulterated illegal acts, the Baoshan District Market Supervision Bureau imposed a fine of 50,000 yuan and imposed administrative penalties on the confiscation of illegal tools.
The party’s act of injecting water into bullfrogs for sale at their business premises, which is adulterated and adulterated, violates Article 25, Item 4 of the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of the Quality and Safety of Edible Agricultural Products Market Sales": "The sale of the following edible agricultural products is prohibited: (4) ) The specified circumstances of spoilage, rancidity of oils, mildew and insects, filth and uncleanness, mixed with foreign matter, adulteration, or abnormal sensory properties.
According to the second paragraph of Article 50 of the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of the Quality and Safety of Sales of Edible Agricultural Products on the Market": Those who violate the provisions of paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 10 of Article 25 of these Measures shall be at or above the county level The food and drug supervision and administration department shall impose penalties in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 124 of the Food Safety Law.
In similar cases, the parties involved in the crime took a short time, the bullfrogs would not die immediately after being injected with water, and the conditions for random inspections were lacking in the circulation process, making investigations and evidence collection difficult.
In response to such problems, the market supervision department will strengthen law dissemination, guide business operators to increase their awareness of main responsibility, strengthen supervision and law enforcement, adopt measures such as time and peak supervision, and properly control the entry, management, and delisting customs, and eliminate them in a timely manner. Potential food safety hazards and purify the market operating environment.
