First, under normal circumstances, people who neglect education will only bear administrative responsibility, and only need to bear the administrative punishment of the relevant food hygiene supervision institutions and stop illegal activities. This responsibility is relatively light.
Two, causing serious consequences, should bear civil liability, that is, not only to stop their own illegal acts, but also to compensate others for the losses.
Third, those who cause very serious consequences should bear criminal responsibility and face criminal punishment. Food safety is the foundation of a catering enterprise, and food safety management is ignored. Once an error occurs, involving food hygiene and safety issues, it will not only lose the brand reputation, but also bear relevant legal responsibilities. According to the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law, food producers and operators may face the following legal responsibilities if they violate their legal obligations:
First, civil liability. Consumers who suffer from eating food that does not meet the food safety standards may claim compensation from the operators or producers. The producers and operators who receive the consumer's claim for compensation shall implement the responsibility system of first receiving, pay first, and shall not shirk.
Second, administrative responsibility. According to the different nature, circumstances and consequences of illegal acts of food producers and operators, the Food Safety Law stipulates that while being ordered to make corrections, warnings can also be given; Confiscation of illegal income and illegal production and operation of food, food additives and tools, equipment, raw materials and other items used for illegal production and operation; Fines; Ordered to stop production and business; Revocation of license, etc.
Third, criminal responsibility. If the illegal acts of food producers and business operators constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
