Abstract:
As the saying goes: "Food comes first to human, so does safety to food". Food safety gets hot once again with the "Amendment (Ⅷ) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" enacted and the judicial interpretation of food safety crimes publicized by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. The society has reached a consensus on severe punishment to food safety crime since it's so closely connected with people's livelihood. However, because it's deeply hidden, with wide-ranging and high-tech extensively used, food safety crime punishment are faced with the problems like verifying crime and preserving evidence. Therefore, food safety crime calls for improvement on evidence obtaining and applying by stepping up effort on obtaining objective evidence, adopting judicial expertise and strengthening connections of judicial procedures.
