There are already cases that show that anyone who dares to make illegal money on food safety will really be fined and go bankrupt.
Recently, the Chengdu High-tech Court publicly heard a case of a hot pot restaurant producing and selling toxic and harmful food.
Fu Moumou, the person in charge of a hot pot restaurant in Chengdu, instructed two employees in the store to recycle and process the waste oil after customers' meals into old oil, and then add the old oil to the bottom of the new pot, sell it to customers and eat it. A public interest lawsuit was filed by the local procuratorate.
In the end, the hot pot restaurant was sentenced to a 10-fold fine of 13.76 million yuan, and the person in charge was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
This time, the Chengdu High-tech Court's judgment on the use of gutter oil hot pot restaurant, the punishment is no longer just to hurt the skin, but directly punish the store to close.
At present, the business status of the hot pot restaurant shows that the business license has been cancelled, and the restaurant cannot be found on the online platform.
It can be seen that if such an enterprise is playing tricks and tricks on food safety, it is likely to end up on a road of no return.
In the past, the relevant state departments have also repeatedly investigated and punished food safety issues, but with little success.
This time, the Chengdu High-tech Court's sentence can be regarded as a heavy punishment for the users of waste oil.
With such a severe punishment, consumers all applauded, and some netizens commented: Killing chickens to warn monkeys, the punishment is really harsh, and I hope that food businessmen will take a warning.
In fact, this issue has a long history and has been the focus of regulation and consumer complaints.
However, some catering operators still use cheap waste oil, just because of their interests.
Not to mention taking into account the feelings of diners, this is completely flouting laws and regulations, and has no reverence for consumers.
Protecting the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the people is a daily effort.
For the punishment in the field of food safety, it is necessary to improve the long-term mechanism of comprehensive management, and also to use sufficient legal means to punish illegal acts to increase the deterrence, and to provide consumers with a "clean, hygienic and safe" eating environment, so that they can truly enjoy to "Bite of Joy".
The more reverence an operator has towards the law, the more food safety of consumers will be guaranteed.
