Yesterday, China began taking public
opinions on the Food Safety Law draft which involved enacting stricter
penalties for lawbreakers. The current penalties listed under the Law do not
have a strong enough deterrence, according to the head of China’s Food and Drug
Administration, Zhang Yong. Specific fines that the industry can expect
include:
·
- Reparations worth 3 times the loss consumers suffer from unsafe food
- Fines that are 30 times more expensive than the product
- Raising the maximum ceiling for fines on products less than $1,60
- Lawbreakers being subject to demotion, dismissal, criminal penalties
