Recently, according to the Shanghai market supervision, Haibawang (Shantou) Food*** was fined RMB 500,000 because its "pork dumplings" contained more chicken or duck skin than pork and was not clearly marked on the product packaging. This incident once again pushed the integrity of the food industry to the forefront and aroused widespread concern from all walks of life.
It is understood that since November 2020, affected by the sharp increase in pork**, in order to reduce the cost of raw materials, Haibawang has greatly reduced the ingredient content of pork in the 19 quick-frozen dumpling products it produces. However, on the outer packaging of the product, the company still used "pork dumplings" in a prominent font as the product name, and did not remark in a conspicuous position to indicate that the main ingredients of the product had changed. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly misleading to consumers and seriously damages consumers' right to know and choose.
This behavior of Haibawang not only violates the relevant provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, but also seriously tramples on commercial integrity. In today's increasingly fierce market competition, it is understandable for enterprises to adopt various means in order to reduce costs and gain competitive advantages. However, these measures must be based on compliance with laws and regulations and respect for consumer rights. Otherwise, even if the benefits are obtained in the short term, the gains will outweigh the losses in the long run.
In fact, this behavior of Haibawang not only harmed the interests of consumers, but also dealt a serious blow to its own brand image. In today's highly developed informatization, any dishonest behavior of enterprises may be quickly amplified and become the focus of public attention. Haibawang was fined 500,000 yuan this time, which is not only a financial punishment for him, but also a heavy blow to his reputation.
As a member of the food industry, Haibawang should pay more attention to product quality and food safety. However, in the pursuit of profits, these basic principles are ignored. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the entire food industry: while pursuing economic benefits, social responsibility and business integrity must not be neglected.
Of course, we can't put the blame solely on the business. **There are also certain omissions in the supervision process of the department. If the regulatory authorities can strengthen the daily supervision and inspection of food production enterprises, and detect and correct the violations of enterprises in a timely manner, similar incidents may be avoided. Therefore, the first department should pay more attention to the supervision and effect of the food industry in the future work.
In addition, consumers should also be vigilant when buying food. Read the product label and instructions carefully before purchasing to understand the true composition and content of the product;Keep proof of purchase after purchase so that you can defend your rights in case of problems. Only by working together with enterprises and consumers can we create a safe and honest food consumption environment.
In short, the false propaganda incident of Haibawang once again reminds us that business integrity is more important than Mount Tai. No enterprise can damage its long-term business reputation and social responsibility for the sake of short-term economic benefits. At the same time, the first department should also strengthen the supervision of the food industry to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of consumers are not infringed. Only in this way can we work together to build a fair, honest and safe food market.
