##天津跨省注水牛肉案告破：5名被告人获刑，食品安全警钟长鸣
近日，天津市和平法院审理了一起跨省制售注水牛肉案，5名被告人因生产、销售伪劣产品罪分别被判处有期徒刑及罚金。此案再次敲响了食品安全警钟，也暴露了部分企业为了牟取暴利，不惜铤而走险，漠视消费者生命健康的行为。
据悉，该案件源于天津市和平区居民王女士在某牛羊肉店购买牛肉后，发现肉质异常，怀疑买到了注水牛肉，遂报警。经检测，王女士购买的牛肉确为注水牛肉，且含有苯甲酸及其钠盐，属于不合格食品。
警方调查发现，该牛肉由天津某食品公司售卖，而其来源则是河北省某市的某屠宰场。该屠宰场负责人赵某某等人被抓获，现场查获了作案工具及部分注水牛肉。
庭审中，天津某食品公司的负责人钱某某辩称其并不知情注水肉里添加了防腐剂。然而，根据赵某某等人的证词，钱某某一开始就知道注水肉里添加了防腐剂，且曾赴某屠宰场参观，专门要求“便宜肉”“注水肉”。
最终，法院认定5名被告人均构成生产、销售伪劣产品罪，分别判处赵某某有期徒刑15年，钱某某有期徒刑15年，王某某有期徒刑7年，孙某某有期徒刑7年，徐某有期徒刑1年6个月，并处罚金4000元到298万元不等。
此案的审判结果再次警示食品企业，食品安全是企业的生命线，企业必须将食品安全放在首位，杜绝以次充好、掺假掺毒等违法行为。同时，消费者也要提高警惕，认真甄别，发现问题及时向相关部门举报。
近年来，食品安全问题屡屡出现，严重损害了消费者的利益，也对社会稳定造成了负面影响。政府部门应加强监管力度，严厉打击食品安全违法犯罪行为，建立健全食品安全追溯体系，保障人民群众的饮食安全。

**News Content:**
A cross-provincial case involving the production and sale of water-injected beef was recently heard by the Heping District People’sCourt in Tianjin, with 5 defendants sentenced to prison terms and fines for producing and selling substandard products. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance offood safety and exposes the reckless disregard for consumer health by some businesses in their pursuit of profit.
The case originated when Ms. Wang, a resident of Heping District, Tianjin, purchased beef from a butcher shop and discovered its unusual texture, suspecting it was water-injected. She reported the incident to the police. Tests confirmed the beef was indeed water-injected and contained benzoic acid and its sodium salt, making it an unqualified food product.
Police investigation revealed thatthe beef was sold by a Tianjin food company, sourced from a slaughterhouse in a city in Hebei Province. Zhao, the slaughterhouse manager, and his associates were apprehended, with tools used in the crime and some water-injected beef seized at the scene.
During the trial, Qian, the head of theTianjin food company, claimed he was unaware of the added preservatives in the water-injected meat. However, based on testimonies from Zhao and his associates, it was established that Qian was aware of the preservatives from the beginning and had visited the slaughterhouse, specifically requesting “cheap meat” and “water-injected meat.”
The court ultimately found all 5 defendants guilty of producing and selling substandard products. Zhao was sentenced to 15 years in prison, Qian to 15 years, Wang to 7 years, Sun to 7 years, and Xu to 1 year and 6 months, with fines ranging from 4,000 yuan to 2.98 million yuan.
The verdict serves as a warning to food companies that food safety is paramount and they must prioritize it, eliminating practices like passing off inferior goods and adulteration. Consumers should also be vigilant, carefully scrutinizing their purchases and reporting any issues to relevant authorities.
In recent years, food safety issues have repeatedly surfaced, severely harming consumer interests and negatively impacting social stability. Government agencies must strengthen regulatory efforts, crack down on food safety violations, and establish a robust food safety traceability system to safeguard the public’s dietary safety.
