CHINA, POISONED MILK: DEATH PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO BREAK THE LAW

the death penalty for those who violate food laws: this is the provision of a new Chinese law announced by the state council. The provision is intended to regulate the dairy industry in particular, which has been rocked by the melamine scandal, and to bring new trust for Chinese products on the world market. According to the norm, the punishment will apply to anyone who works in the dairy industry: from the farmer, to the producer, to the distributor, to the final vendor. There are heavy penalties for those who break the law, especially for those who poison products for children, up to the death penalty provided for those who "deliberately add illegal substances to fresh milk."
