Then, what is the actual weight of four boxes of pomfret after ice removal?
Experimental data show that it is very common to mix more than 40% ice into frozen seafood and aquatic products. Among the four supermarkets, the least is 43%; The most popular store is Century Lianhua Canal Plaza, which is mixed with 48% ice. The ice cubes sold the price of pomfret, and the pomfret was bought at 8.77 yuan, of which 4.2 yuan bought ice.
The supermarket denies that it is short of weight and only allows returns.
The reporter consulted the relevant regulations and learned that the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Weighing and Measurement of Retail Commodities jointly issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the General Administration of Quality Supervision clearly stipulates: "The food of meat, eggs, poultry and sea (water) products does not weigh more than 2.5 kilograms, and the maximum allowable negative deviation value is 5 grams."
The four boxes of frozen pomfret used in the experiment far exceeded the national standards. According to the regulations, if this standard is exceeded, it will be short of weight. Consumers can refer to the weighing and measurement regulations and ask merchants to make up for it.
So how do businesses respond? The reporter called four supermarkets as consumers.
The staff of the four supermarkets are unwilling to admit that this is a short-term behavior. Mr. Zhou, the person in charge of the aquatic product area of Auchan Supermarket, said: "Ice is not intentionally added. It is frozen when it is purchased. The price of the purchase is also the price of ice, and the price of the sale is definitely ice." He said that there are also a batch of pomfret without ice in the supermarket. "If you don't like ice, you can buy that kind, and the price is much more expensive."
The treatment of the four supermarkets is the same: only returns are allowed. The reporter asked to make up the weight, but the supermarket said no.
