JD.com food on sale notification: what to do when peanut butter exceeds aflatoxin limits
If I bought a fake product from an online store, whether it's a phone or clothes, should I seek redress from the manufacturer or the production factory? Generally I seek compensation from the online store, and as for the online store's losses, whether it goes after the manufacturer is none of my concern, because the online store is the one directly trading with me and also making a profit. Who do you think is at fault when something goes wrong?
The State Administration for Market Regulation notified on the 22nd that 12 batches of food were substandard, involving JD.com Mall, Carrefour, Walmart, and Beijing Hualian and other supermarkets. Among the products, peanut butter and ham were substandard. Among them, the peanut butter sold on JD.com Mall by JD China Specialty Products · Hebei Supply and Marketing Pavilion had aflatoxin B1 that did not meet the national food safety standard. It is reported that aflatoxin B1 is the most carcinogenic among known chemical substances, and is strongly toxic to humans and several animals. O The State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice that peanut butter and other foods sold on JD.com are substandard.
Netizens said: it should also be publicly announced which quality supervision bureau approved it for market sale! Whoever signed the food certificate of compliance is the key; both the enterprise and the director of the food supervision bureau should be heavily fined, removed from office, and laid off! Only then can China's food safety be trusted! I really want to curse these food quality supervision bureaus, they are no different from unscrupulous enterprises.
It is clearly the peanut butter from the Hebei Supply and Marketing Pavilion that exceeded aflatoxin limits, yet a bunch of supermarket names were listed. Is the main responsibility not with this manufacturer? The supermarket should only bear secondary responsibility.
This is not a rights protection issue about selling counterfeit and inferior food, but a food safety issue. In many comments, so many people actually think that not criticizing the distributor means having no brains? The distributor is not a regulatory body; should it test every product labeled as compliant itself? So whose fault is it really?
