According to Item 5, Paragraph 1, Article 124 of the Food Safety Law, if an operator deals in food beyond the shelf life, the food and drug supervision and administration department of the people's government at or above the county level shall confiscate the illegal income and food and food additives illegally produced and operated, and may also confiscate tools, equipment, raw materials and other items used for illegal production and operation; If the value of food and food additives illegally produced and operated is less than 1 10,000 yuan, a fine of more than 50,000 yuan110,000 yuan will be imposed; If the value of goods is more than 1 10,000 yuan, a fine of more than 10 and less than 20 times shall be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, the license shall be revoked. This is also the punishment basis for operating expired food, which is widely used by grassroots law enforcement officers. \x0d\ Because for such shops, the unsold food is the stored food, and the expired food in the business area is not cleaned up in time, that is, the food is not sold according to the specified requirements. We can't think that Article 54 is only aimed at the storage link, which looks more reasonable and rigorous and is more conducive to the specific operation of law enforcement personnel.
