How should consumers and manufacturers deal with metal foreign objects in food?

1. If metal foreign objects are found in food, the manufacturer can be required to compensate. If a consumer produces food that does not meet food safety standards or knowingly sells food that does not meet food safety standards, in addition to demanding compensation for losses, they can also demand compensation from the producer for ten times the price or three times the loss.

2. Legal provisions:

Article 55 of the Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law stipulates that if a business operator engages in fraudulent behavior in providing goods or services, it shall increase the compensation for the losses suffered by the consumer at their request, and the amount of the increased compensation shall be three times the price of the goods purchased by the consumer or the cost of receiving the services; If the increase in compensation amount is less than 500 yuan, it shall be 500 yuan. If the law provides otherwise, follow its provisions.

If a business operator knowingly provides defective goods or services to consumers, resulting in the death or serious damage to the health of consumers or other victims, the victims have the right to demand that the business operator compensate for the losses in accordance with Article 49, Article 51 and other legal provisions of this Law, and have the right to demand punitive damages of less than twice the amount of the losses suffered.

Article 148 of the Food Safety Law: If consumers suffer damage due to food that does not meet food safety standards, they may demand compensation from the operator or the producer for the losses. Producers and operators who receive compensation requests from consumers shall implement the first responsibility system, pay compensation in advance, and shall not shirk responsibility; If it belongs to the producer's responsibility, the operator has the right to claim compensation from the producer after compensation; If it is the responsibility of the operator, the producer has the right to claim compensation from the operator after compensation.

If a consumer produces food that does not meet food safety standards or knowingly operates food that does not meet food safety standards, in addition to demanding compensation for losses, they may also demand compensation of ten times the price or three times the loss from the producer or operator; If the increase in compensation amount is less than one thousand yuan, it shall be one thousand yuan. However, except for defects in food labels and instructions that do not affect food safety and do not mislead consumers.  

3. How to avoid

Manufacturers should equip their product production lines with Leinz intelligent metal detection machines. The principle of the metal detection machine is to use electromagnetic induction to emit high-frequency magnetic fields through a transmitting coil, which is connected to two receiving coils. In the absence of external interference in the magnetic field, the voltage output signals generated by them cancel each other out. Once a metal foreign object enters the magnetic field area, it will disrupt this balance, accurately identify the metal foreign object, and generate an alarm signal to help manufacturers control quality, reduce costs, and improve production efficiency, ensuring that products entering the market will not cause harm to consumers.
