Quick Comment ｜ Why did "shoot cucumber" be punished for attention

Recently, many restaurants in Hefei, Anhui, were fined 5,000 yuan for selling cold cucumbers, and the incident attracted attention. In this regard, the Hefei Market Supervision Bureau Catering Service Safety Supervision Office responded that catering service providers need to apply for business projects when applying for food business licenses. ("China News Weekly" on August 1)

The merchant was fined for selling "cucumbers", and there was a precedent for a long time. In November last year, a merchant sold cold cucumbers on the takeaway platform, which was confiscated by the local market regulatory bureau of 244 yuan and a fine of 5,000 yuan. In 2017, a hotpot restaurant in a certain place was selling "cucumber" and "appetizing small fungus" due to sales. Wait for the cold dishes to be fined 10,000 yuan by the local food supervision and administration and confiscated 139 yuan illegal income.

What is the hot search? A large part of the reason is derived from the "poor cognition" between the public's traditional cognition and laws and regulations. Most people have learned from their lives that foods such as cucumber, small fungus, peanuts, and acid radish are appetizing dishes before meals. What are the big problems. From the perspective of the regulatory authorities, on the one hand, it is to maintain food safety, small dishes, and cold foods such as "shoot cucumber" without high temperature sterilization and vulnerable to microorganisms, especially the production process is raw. There is a risk of cross -infection. Once a food safety accident occurs, it will harm the health of the diners; on the other hand, maintaining the dignity of the regulatory regulations, and there are strict regulations in the field of food management. Production.

Looking at food safety management with traditional thinking, you can engage in the boat. Many operations that have been accustomed to used today are unscientific, unreasonable or even prohibited with today's regulations, and must be regulated. For example, modern food packaging must have ingredients, shelf life, preservation methods, and edible methods. If people find that there is no content on the packaging, they will definitely not buy it. This is progress. In a sense, the relevant departments to punish "shoot cucumbers" must also allow all parties to slowly adapt to food safety regulations.

Then again, it is not possible to use flexible law enforcement on "shooting cucumber". From the perspective of market players, operating costs are increasing, and the restaurant industry is stressful. From the perspective of the main body of the market, it should be more considerate. From the perspective of regulations, flexible law enforcement is well -founded. Article 33 of the newly revised administrative penalty law has added the "first violation and non -penalty" regulations, that is, if the first violation of the law and the consequences of the harm is slight and corrected in a timely manner, administrative penalties may be imposed. Promoting flexible law enforcement, criticizing education and urging correction of mild illegal people can also prevent and reduce serious illegal acts and reduce social harm.
