Vendors were sued for adding formaldehyde to squid! How will the vendors be punished?

People have always attached great importance to food safety. Failure to ensure food safety will not only endanger people's health, but also endanger public safety and social stability. In recent years, although the state has strengthened the control of food safety, there are still many unscrupulous merchants who ignore the health of consumers and cut corners and add harmful substances in order to earn more benefits, resulting in serious consequences.

On September 7, the People's Court of Qingjiangpu District of Huai 'an City tried a case of selling toxic food. It is said that the defendant in this case sold squid added with formaldehyde at a stall in the water opening area of a vegetable market. In order to prevent the squid from rotting, the defendant still broke the law with luck, knowing that formaldehyde could not be added to food, and was finally detected by the relevant departments, and what awaited them would eventually be severely punished by law.

The public prosecution agency said that in this case, the defendant added toxic substances to the food he sold, which had violated the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and should be investigated for criminal responsibility. Moreover, in order to seek illegal interests, they ignore the life, health and safety of consumers, causing serious damage to social public interests. As you can imagine, the consequences are still very serious, and it is likely that you will be fined for nine months to one and a half years. Besides the punishment of imprisonment, fines and compensation are of course indispensable. Through this incident, I hope these vendors can learn a lesson and never have similar behaviors in the future.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and food safety comes first. When buying food at ordinary times, you should pay more attention to whether there is a manufacturer and production date on the food packaging, and check whether the food has passed the shelf life and the nutritional components of the food. Never buy three kinds of food. Choose a formal and safe place to buy food, and don't go to unlicensed vendors to avoid unnecessary losses for yourself.
