In May this year, Ningbo Haishu District State Market Supervision Administration fined 30,000 yuan for adding Codonopsis pilosula to chicken soup. Some netizens said that this punishment is a bit outrageous. Is it illegal to use codonopsis pilosula to make soup at home? Then can I add Codonopsis pilosula? What laws did Zhejiang Confucius Center violate?
First, the Yuezi Center violated food safety laws and regulations. According to the provisions of the Food Safety Law, Codonopsis pilosula is a Chinese herbal medicine and a related organization engaged in food business. If you want to add Chinese herbal medicines such as codonopsis pilosula to food, you must register with the relevant departments of the district, otherwise it is suspected of breaking the law. Therefore, this month center has been unfairly punished. This punishment has been relatively low, with a maximum punishment of 65,438+10,000 yuan.
Second, Codonopsis pilosula can be added to food. Some netizens said that they have the habit of stewing chicken and putting codonopsis pilosula, and some places even only put codonopsis pilosula. So is this kind of behavior also suspected of breaking the law? In fact, it is not illegal for us to use Codonopsis pilosula, because it is not illegal to use profit as a means.
Third, it is necessary to strengthen the professionalism of the Confucius Center. Many families with conditions will choose the Yuezi Center to serve their mothers and children. In fact, many month centers are irregular. In fact, there are no relevant standards for the efficacy and dosage of Chinese herbal medicines such as codonopsis pilosula, so don't add them to pregnant women's diet at will, so as not to have a negative impact on pregnant women. However, the law is cold and people are warm. When enforcing the law, we should also consider it as appropriate and be lenient, because it is legal to make the ingredients of Codonopsis pilosula in some areas.
