If an operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, according to the Consumer Protection Law, consumers can usually only get compensation of "one refund and one compensation". And if there is something wrong with food, according to the Food Safety Law, consumers can ask for ten times compensation. The special law is superior to the general law, and the new law is superior to the old law. However, whether the claim can be successful depends on the specific circumstances. Example 1: There are flies in the sausage. Because it has been mixed with bacon for a long time, the color and meat quality of flies are obviously different from those that have just been killed. According to common sense, it can be judged that they belong to sausages, not that consumers deliberately killed a fly and put it in. Example 2: A consumer ate a piece of steel wire in a biscuit, and half of the steel wire was still in the biscuit. Obviously, it's already in the biscuit, so it can't be put in by consumers on purpose. However, some food problems are difficult to prove. Example 3: How to prove that the hair and nails were originally in the food or the consumers deliberately put them in? Eating cigarette butts in shredded squid, if the cigarette butts are chopped like shredded squid, they have a strong squid flavor, which is obviously put in during processing; If cigarette butts are no different from ordinary cigarette butts, why are they in food? Therefore, Brother Huang suggested that if the food problem is easy to prove (for example, case 1, case 2), consumers can claim tenfold compensation directly according to the Food Safety Law. If it is difficult to prove the food problem, we can do it from other angles-whether the food label is standardized, whether there is a QS certification mark, whether there is a production date, whether there is a Chinese label on the imported food, etc. In the case that the seller admits the facts but thinks that your claim is too high and is unwilling to accept ten times compensation, in order to solve the dispute as soon as possible, I suggest that you appropriately reduce the claim amount, which is 2~5 times the price. Please consider the degree of injury, commodity price and seller's attitude according to the incident. Legal basis: Article 96 of the Food Safety Law stipulates: "Anyone who violates the provisions of this Law and causes personal, property or other damage shall be liable for compensation according to law. If you produce food that does not meet food safety standards or sell food that you know does not meet food safety standards, consumers can ask the producer or seller to pay ten times the price in addition to compensation for losses. " .

What should I do if I eat something foreign in my food?
In recent years, some consumers reported eating cigarette butts in pickles, drinking dead mice in wine and eating other foreign objects in cans. Some merchants refuse to admit that how consumers prove that foreign objects really come from food or drink has become a key issue. Consumers and businesses have different opinions about whether there are foreign bodies in food and the source of foreign bodies. Since the food has been opened, law enforcement officers can't give a clear identification of whether the food contains foreign bodies, and such consultation questions can't be accepted because there is no authoritative evidence.
What should I do if I find a foreign body in the food?
Article 96 of the Food Safety Law stipulates that consumers who produce food that does not meet the food safety standards or sell food that they know does not meet the food safety standards may demand compensation of 10 times the price from the producers or sellers.
Accordingly, it is wrong for some businesses selling problem foods to only refund or exchange goods for consumers, thus avoiding legal responsibility. In this case, the consumer can claim compensation from the merchant, and the amount is 10 times of the paid price. In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the Tort Liability Law, if the personal rights and interests are infringed due to the purchase of problematic food, resulting in serious mental damage, consumers can also request compensation for mental damage.
Remind consumers that if foreign bodies are found in food, they should first keep good evidence, such as preserving food and taking photos. When encountering the problem food, you should try to keep the original appearance of the problem food, do not destroy the relationship between the food and foreign objects, and immediately call 123 15 for * * *. When the consumer negotiates with the merchant, if the merchant has a verbal commitment, it is best to ask the other party to fix it in the form of words or audio and video to prevent the merchant from going back on his word.
Why do complaints about foreign bodies in food remain high?
According to statistics, "foreign bodies in food" account for a considerable proportion of all complaints. This foreign food includes beer, liquor, jelly, meat products, cakes, dairy products, drinks and so on. And most of the production enterprises complained about are regular large enterprises. In the face of consumer complaints, the irresponsible attitude of some manufacturers is quite worrying.
However, the main reasons for the high food safety complaints are as follows: First, the source of food production enterprises is not strict, and the cost of establishing a high-standard quality inspection and control system is very high, and many manufacturers are unwilling to take the initiative. Second, most front-line production personnel have low education, unskilled technology and weak sense of responsibility. Third, the food sales environment is dirty, chaotic and poor. Fourth, some enterprises recycle expired food for processing before returning to the market. Fifth, the supervision and punishment are not enough. Sixth, some consumers blindly follow suit and complain, which shows the irrationality of consumers.
How to prevent foreign bodies in food?
First of all, in our daily life, we should first choose the right place to buy food, preferably in shopping malls and supermarkets with business qualifications, good reputation and integrity. Secondly, you must look for the food quality and safety market access marked with "QS", and check the production date and shelf life. It is best to have a look before eating, especially drinks, and check for turbidity, precipitation, impurities, etc.

When Denegli was resting in the backyard, he opened a can of sugar-free sprite. When he took a swig, he felt something was wrong. The taste of this can of sprite is very wrong. It tastes strange and disgusting. So he went to the pool and poured out the drink. But what he didn't expect was that in addition to the pink things like spaghetti, there was a gray thing exposed, but no matter how he poured it, he couldn't get out. In a word, all this made him feel sick. He immediately handed the can of Sprite to the US Food and Drug Administration for inspection. Soon after, the couple received a detailed report from the department, which said that the foreign body in Sprite was frog or toad. 6. A finger named Clarence was found in the soft milk ice cream? A young man in Stals found a broken finger in his soft ice milk. He also bought this at a local cream shop. Later, the person in charge said it was the finger of a processing worker. In the process of food processing, a worker's finger was accidentally cut off due to a mechanical accident. Consumer Clarence said that when he saw this finger, he thought it was a candy, but when he put it in his mouth, he found it was hard, so he went to the kitchen to clean it, but he never thought it was actually a finger. Later, the person in charge of the store said that this finger belonged to a 23-year-old employee. This unfortunate mechanical accident happened when the machine was distributing cream into the bucket, and this finger also fell into the bucket. Although he tried to get the bucket back, he failed. Several other employees also tried to help save the accident, but unfortunately, he had put the cream in the pint before informing the waiter. 7.

She immediately reported the matter to the restaurant manager. Later, she sued a restaurant and finally settled it privately. The restaurant also tried to sue the supplier of clams, but the judge held that this was not the responsibility of the supplier. 8. A cockroach was found in an anchovy snack called GoldenBoy. A man almost ate this cockroach while eating GoldenBoy. At first, cockroaches were covered with sesame seeds, so it was difficult to tell whether they were cockroaches. When he found it, he had eaten a third of the snacks. But fortunately, it didn't swallow it. 9. A black widow spider was found in a bag of grapes. Futong's man bought a generation of grapes at Whole Foods Supermarket in Brighton. When he took out a bunch of grapes from the bag, something black fell out.

After confirming that it was a black widow spider, he put it in a yogurt cup and went back to the store. The manager said they would take the fruit off the fruit shelf. In a statement,
How to compensate for eating foreign bodies in food?
