Multiple merchants have been fined for selling food from nuclear radiation zones. China has banned the import of food from ten places, including Fukushima, Japan

The reporter noticed that according to the Tianyancha app, recently, Huiyanghang Department Store Co., Ltd. in Shunde District, Foshan City was listed as a serious illegal and dishonest enterprise due to the production and operation of food that is explicitly prohibited by the state for disease prevention and other special needs. In May of this year, the company was fined 10000 yuan by regulatory authorities for selling "Fujioka White Peach Beverage" purchased from Nagano Prefecture, "ORIHIRO Konjac Jelly" produced from Gunma Prefecture, Japan, and "Bourbon Soy Milk Wafer Biscuits" produced from Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

Since the beginning of this year, multiple businesses have been fined for selling imported food from Japan's nuclear radiation zone.

Experts suggest that consumers should choose businesses with a business license, food business license, high market reputation, and stable business status when purchasing imported food from Japan, and keep their consumption vouchers properly. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to whether imported food has Chinese labels, whether the content indicated on the Chinese labels is complete, and pay attention to the origin of the purchased food. If consumers find that the origin of the food they purchased is a prohibited area, they can retain relevant evidence and report it to the market supervision department to protect their own rights.
