First, the seriousness of illegal use of highly toxic and toxic pesticides
The illegal use of highly toxic pesticides poses a serious threat to food safety. Pesticide residues in this food will cause long-term potential harm to human health. Especially for sensitive people such as children and pregnant women, its harm is immeasurable. Therefore, this kind of behavior is clearly prohibited by law.
Second, the punishment of illegal acts by law.
According to the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law, illegal use of highly toxic and toxic pesticides will be severely punished by law. Specific punishment measures include administrative penalties such as fines and license revocation, and those who constitute a crime will be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. These punishments are aimed at curbing illegal activities and maintaining food safety through severe sanctions.
Third, strengthen supervision and publicity and education.
In addition to punishing illegal acts, we should also strengthen food safety supervision and publicity and education. Regulatory authorities should strengthen supervision over the production, sale and use of pesticides to ensure the legal and safe use of pesticides. At the same time, through publicity and education, improve the public's awareness of food safety and self-protection ability, and form a good atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to food safety.
To sum up:
According to the provisions of the Food Safety Law, illegal use of highly toxic and toxic pesticides will be severely punished by law. In order to maintain food safety and ensure people's health and life safety, supervision and publicity and education should be strengthened to improve the public's awareness of food safety and self-protection ability. Meanwhile, the law will severely crack down on any illegal use of pesticides.
