Trademark law of Ministry of Agriculture
This problem needs to be viewed from two aspects.

In the first case, food belongs to agricultural products. According to Article 51 of the Law on the Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products, anyone who fraudulently uses the quality marks of agricultural products shall be ordered to make corrections, his illegal income shall be confiscated, and he shall be fined from 2,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. The administrative supervision department of the above punishment is the agricultural department.

In the second case, food does not belong to agricultural products. Here, the green food logo, as a certification trademark in the sense of the Trademark Law, is punished by the second paragraph of Article 60 of the Trademark Law. When the administrative department for industry and commerce finds that the infringement is established, it shall be ordered to immediately stop the infringement, confiscate and destroy the infringing goods and tools mainly used to manufacture infringing goods and forge registered trademarks. If the illegal business amount is more than 50 thousand yuan, a fine of less than five times the illegal business amount may be imposed. There is no illegal business amount or the illegal business amount is less than 50 thousand yuan. Whoever commits trademark infringement twice or more within five years or has other serious circumstances shall be given a heavier punishment. The administrative department for industry and commerce shall order the sale of goods that are not known to infringe the exclusive right to use a registered trademark, and can prove that the goods are legally obtained by themselves, indicating the supplier.

The general office of the Ministry of Agriculture has sent a letter to clarify this situation.
