Jin Pingtan | Adding a Codonopsis to Chicken Soup was fined 30,000 yuan. What about adding "Hex Black Technology"?

commentator Qiu Yanbo

Recently, Zhejiang Yiyuezi Club added Codonopsis and tangerine peel to the chicken soup, and was punished for giving it to pregnant women. The reason is that Codonopsis pilosula is not a substance that is both a food and a Chinese medicinal material, and the parties violated the relevant regulations of the Food Safety Law and were fined 30,000 yuan.

Yes, you read that right! Codonopsis in chicken soup was fined!

Cantonese expressed dissatisfaction: I put Codonopsis in my soup at home, or even only Codonopsis.

Henan people expressed dissatisfaction: we eat braised noodles, also has Codonopsis.

Shanxi people expressed dissatisfaction: we all have Codonopsis in soup, porridge, steamed rice, and cooking.

Gansu people expressed their dissatisfaction: We all have Codonopsis ginseng when we eat hot pot and make medicinal wine.

, ​​a netizen who was chilled said: Don't force me to add "Hikes Black Technology", so that I may not be fined.

However, joking aside, you may not have thought that adding Codonopsis to food is punished, and this is not the first time.

In 2017, a catering company in Shanghai was punished for using Cordyceps sinensis , American ginseng , Dendrobium and other Chinese herbal medicines in cooking.

In September 2021, a company in Maotai Township was fined 100,000 yuan for soaking "cistanche cistanche, astragalus, codonopsis" as ingredients in sauce-flavored wine.

Adding Codonopsis to food is punished according to the "Catalogue of Substances That Are Both Foods and Chinese Herbal Medicines According to Tradition (2013 Edition)", which lists 87 substances that can be used as food raw materials, spices and condiments, but there is no Codonopsis.

However, it is our common perception that the food Riga party ginseng, and the punishment of enterprises hurts the emotions of ordinary people.

real materials plus Codonopsis, conscience enterprise ah.

In 2019, the state has listed Codonopsis as an ingredient and launched a pilot program in Gansu, Shanxi. In other words, in places like Shanxi and Gansu, it is no longer illegal to add Codonopsis to food.

Laws are cold, people are warm. In the incident in Zhejiang where the Chinese and Canadian Party ginseng were punished, the law enforcement officers raised their guns an inch, which is more in line with simple social morals.
