史上最严食品安全法将实施:网络食品需实名登记

新版《食品安全法》明确了国家建立食品安全全程追溯制度,这也就意味着食品安全追溯已经成为法定条款,也明确了消费者在网购时的权益和维权办法。

(Ecns) -- With the new Food Safety Law to be implemented on October 1, food sold online will face tougher supervision, according to China Business News.

Article 62 of the new law stipulates that third-party online platform providers should require real-name registrations to online food operators, and that they are required to examine safety production licenses.

If an operator violates the rules, the platform provider should report it to local authorities. If there are cases of a serious breach of law, the provider should immediately stop its services to the operator.

Online platform providers will face a fine of 50,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan if they fail to fulfill their duties, and their licenses will be revoked if serious infractions occur.

Under the new law, which stresses the full traceability of the food safety system, consumers who buy food through online trading platforms can demand compensation if their rights are infringed upon.

Accordingly, online food trading platform providers should pay compensation if they can't provide the true name, effective address and contact information of food business operators.
