Is it a crime to sell bean sprouts with medicine? What a big crime

Hello! Ma Cheng's team of lawyers will answer your questions:

Your statement is unclear. What medicine did you add? If it is in the process of bean sprout growth, it does not constitute a crime to spray pesticides allowed by the state in order to eliminate pests. However, if pesticides prohibited by the state are used in the growth of bean sprouts or toxic and harmful substances are added in the sales process, it may be suspected of producing and selling toxic and harmful foods.

According to the second paragraph of Article 39 of the Food Hygiene Law, if the production and operation of food that does not meet the hygiene standards causes serious food poisoning accidents or other serious food-borne diseases, which causes serious harm to human health, or if toxic and harmful non-food raw materials are mixed into the food produced and operated, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

At the same time, Article 144 of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who adulterates toxic and harmful non-food raw materials in food produced or sold, or sells food that is knowingly adulterated with toxic and harmful non-food raw materials, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined not less than 50% but not more than two times the sales amount; Whoever causes serious food poisoning accidents or other serious food-borne diseases and causes serious harm to human health shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined not less than 50% but not more than two times the sales amount.

It is recommended not to make a profit in this way. If it has caused consequences, it is recommended to hire a lawyer to protect rights as soon as possible.
