Processing result of the event
This happened in Haicang District, Xiamen. The owner of the facility deliberately added borax when putting wheat, barbecue, jiaozi and other foods. After adding borax, jiaozi will look full and bright, and the rice inside will be very delicate, which will not stick to the leaves of jiaozi, and the shelf life will be longer. However, borax is very harmful to human body, so the shopkeeper was also sentenced to 6 months in prison, suspended for one year, and fined 5,000 yuan for probation.
The owner of this shop has undoubtedly damaged the life and health of consumers and infringed on the public interests, and should bear civil tort liability. Later, the owner had to pay about 7,000 yuan in punitive damages and publicly apologize to the society in the media.
Harm of borax
Borax is a raw material for producing drugs, and it is also a dangerous and toxic chemical raw material. Because it looks colorless and soluble in water, some black-hearted businesses will add borax to improve the shelf life and taste of their products. For example, the shopkeeper just added borax to make his roasted dumplings taste more gluten-free.
If adults take too much borax, it will lead to organ poisoning, and one-time intake of 15g borax will lead to death. Among them, about 2-3g babies will cause great physical harm and die. Therefore, adding borax to food is a serious violation of the Food Safety Law. In 2008, the Ministry of Health also published a list of possible non-edible substances and abuse of food additives, among which borax was classified as non-edible substances and specifically named, including yuba, bean jelly, cold noodles, meatballs, noodles and dumpling skins. Borax may be added to these six foods, which is also clearly stipulated in Article 144 of the Criminal Law. If they are operated,
Don't be opportunistic in business.
I really don't know what these black-hearted businessmen are thinking. In order to attract tourists, of course, it is necessary to use fresher ingredients to eat well and eat well. This is the fundamental way to attract diners and repeat customers. Even if their food doesn't stink, it certainly doesn't taste good, especially the barbecue jiaozi. Although some people prefer to eat gluten, the meat in jiaozi will not change after a long time.
Now they have been investigated and fined, which has left a stain on their personal career. Who dares to take care of their family business in the future? It can only be said that this practice is really not worth the candle. I hope he can learn a lesson and be a practical person in the future.
