The newly revised Food Safety Law is known as "the strictest in history", among which the most important performance is the most severe punishment. If catering enterprises violate the Food Safety Law, they will not only face administrative punishment from administrative supervision departments; Those who cause personal, property or other damage to consumers shall bear civil liability according to law; Those who constitute a crime will be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.
in terms of the types of administrative punishment, the revised food safety law stipulates administrative detention for the first time for illegal acts such as illegally adding non-edible substances, dealing in dead livestock and poultry, and dealing in food with drugs.
In terms of the amount of fines, the amount of administrative fines has been greatly increased. Taking the illegal addition of chemicals other than food additives and the production and operation of foods with drugs as an example, the minimum fine of the original Food Safety Law was 2,111 yuan, and the minimum fine of the newly revised Food Safety Law was raised to 111,111 yuan. The original food safety law stipulates that the maximum fine can be 11 times the value of goods, and the newly revised Food Safety Law stipulates that the maximum fine can be 31 times the value of goods.
In addition, those who have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above for food safety crimes shall not engage in food production, operation and management for life; For those who have been ordered to stop production or suspend business or revoke their licenses for violating the provisions of the Food Safety Law for three times in a year, the administrative supervision department may order them to stop production or suspend business until their licenses are revoked.
it is necessary to remind catering service providers that if they provide food delivery services on the online trading platform, they must register their real names and file them on the trading platform in addition to obtaining relevant business licenses. In case of food safety problems, the food provider should bear the main responsibility, and the online trading platform should also bear joint responsibility. For reference.
