"In the inspection of the food, it was found that there was a problem, but now, it is really not too wrong. Because everyone is like this anyway. Of course, the things produced by MacDonald Foods are definitely the most conscientious and safe, but in this era, except for McDonald Foods, who will not add a lot of messy poisonous things to it when making food?

But the two food export companies in Spain and Germany made the mistake of trying to deceive consumers, trying to deceive state legislatures. Ohio is in fact very lenient with food manufacturers, and they do not have a mandatory rule that foods that use additives that are not good for human health should not be sold, but simply give some tax incentives to companies that are willing to pay higher costs to ensure food safety, and allow them to use the 'safe food' logo so that our people can identify them and avoid the danger."

However, the two European companies took a very nasty and fraudulent approach, first providing the testing agency with samples that fully met the safety standards (the storage of these samples also showed that the toxic and harmful substances that were later detected did not appear in the food due to unavoidable factors). ), fraudulently obtained tax rebates and the 'Safe Food' logo, and then sold food products that had a lot of harmful substances in our market. That is, it cheats us out of our money and harms our health. Such despicable acts should have been investigated for criminal liability according to fraud, and these lawbreakers who did anything to make money were thrown into prison and imprisoned until the end of the world. However, these cunning scammers took advantage of our judicial loopholes, claiming that the later products were found to be unqualified only because of quality control, or that they had sent the wrong goods, and they did not admit that they were intentional frauds anyway. And because of the difficulty of our law enforcement agencies, it is really difficult to prosecute them for fraud. Even the simplest fines, such as for ineffective follow-up quality control or the so-called 'wrong delivery', are not necessarily effectively enforced.

Because the companies that were found to be problematic this time are all foreign companies, in the United States, in Ohio, they don't have much valuable fixed assets. They don't have a fixed property, and the location of the business is rented; They don't have factories in the United States, factories or anything far away in Europe. They only have the name of the company, and a leather bag to hold the text and seals. Other than that, they have nothing. So we saw that after these guys were caught, they didn't pay the fine at all, but just ran away, anyway, our law enforcement officers couldn't go to Europe to seize their factories anyway. After a few days, they replaced two other scammers, and then gave their 'company' another name, and they could play this trick again.

So, Ohio has to act to close this loophole right away, and we can't make Ohio a paradise for those European liars. So how can this loophole be plugged? Personally, I believe that we should treat food safety as strictly as we do medicines. First, we should prohibit the sale of any food that is not certified as a 'safe food' in Ohio. Second, we should collect security deposits from businesses that try to use the 'safe food' logo to ensure that they are not late enough to fall out of this bag-and-bag scam......"

This was a week after the German poisoned sausage and Spanish poisoned ham scandals were revealed, an article in the Ohio Kommersant newspaper. Apparently, the unscrupulous German and Spanish bag companies ran away after their deception was exposed, which angered the citizens of Ohio.

Just two days after the report came out, the Ohio Legislature revised Ohio's drug and food safety oversight practices to impose up to $3,000 on pharmaceutical and food companies. It was also decided that some food products, including cheese, milk and meat products, would be banned from sale in Ohio if they still did not pass the guò "safe food" certification after six months.

At this moment, it can be said that except for Scrooge's MacDonald Foods, the other food companies that operate within this range are all unlucky. At that time, except for McDonald Foods, other food companies were not large-scale, and most of them even had difficulty in coming up with a deposit of $3,000. In particular, meat processing is a lot of so-called ancestral family workshops. The deposit of 3,000 US dollars is almost their entire asset, and the cost of the inspection is not very cheap, although this inspection is indeed non-profit, to be honest, it is not expensive, but it is not something that ordinary small workshops can afford.

……

"Mr. Eldor, are you going to sell your workshop?" Lendall asked his neighbor Eldo.

"Yes. No way. Eldo shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about the Guò test, our family has been making sausages and bacon and ham for generations. I know how the guys out there make these things, but you know, we've never had a lot of trouble in our house. But now ......"

"Mr. Eldo, I know, we neighbors all know that the sausage ham you make at home is the real thing, and I have also eaten the bargains outside, very much your intestines, ah, it is the taste of the intestines you make, and everyone can eat it differently. There should be no problem with your stuff detection. ”

"What about the pass?" Eldo let out a long sigh again, "Even if I get through, I can't afford to pay the deposit of three thousand dollars." Three thousand dollars, how many workshops can get so much money? ”

"Alas, this decision of the state legislature is also really ......" Lendl did not know what to say. From the bottom of his heart, to be honest, the state legislature stood up against those bastards who put poison into their food, and Rendell was very supportive, after all, he didn't want to eat poison every day. But when he saw that his neighbor Eldo's family was leaving Ohio, he felt a little unhappy for Eldo. Lendel knew that Eldor had always made real things, but because of this, Eldo didn't make any money. Because the other sausages on the outside are much cheaper than Eldor's. Although Lendl also felt that the outside didn't taste as good as Eldo's, he didn't have that much money, and he had to think about cheapness when buying things. So, Eldor's business was really not good, and he really couldn't come up with three thousand dollars.

"The decision of the state legislature is actually not bad, after all, they are thinking about the majority of people." Eldo said slowly, "It's just that some people are too black-hearted, and they can't help it." In fact, it's because I don't have the skills myself, and it's not that I really can't make money without those crooked methods. You see, Mr. MacDonald's food company can make cheap and good things out. ”

"Mr. MacDonald is a big scientist, and he must have a way. We can't compare to him. Lendel wanted to comfort Eldor, but he didn't know what to say. So he asked: "Mr. Erdo, where are you going?" ”

"I don't know, but after leaving Ohio, other places may soon follow Ohio's example. So, I'm not going to do it anymore. Maybe I'll go to the west, I'll sell my workshop, go west, and buy a little land. Then be an honest farmer, at least, although there are many problems with flour now, wheat without milling still does not need a 'safe food certificate'. ”

Lendl looked at the dejected Eldo, and he wanted to persuade him not to give up his ancestral craft, but he also understood that Eldo's statement that it would not be long before there would be the same regulations in the United States as in Ohio was absolutely correct, because the regulations were really good, at least Rendell himself liked them.

"Alas, the life of the old craftsmen is getting harder and harder now." Lendel finally said with emotion. After a while, he asked again, "Eldo, when are you going to leave, tell me sù, and we will see you off, and good luck to you." ”

"Thank you." Eldo replied with his head down.

……

Just as Eldo had predicted, Ohio, several states in the east, starting with New York, passed similar bills, and soon a trade barrier was erected on the North American continent. Suppliers in Europe suddenly found themselves trying to sell food and the like. Selling to the U.S. is particularly difficult. Especially meat and dairy products. European businessmen began to clamor for revenge against the United States, and the Americans also launched a propaganda machine to scold the profiteers in Europe. In this kind of scolding, the black curtain of European food has been uncovered step by step. Thus, starting with the French, the first food safety standards in Europe also appeared.

……

"The trial run of Clark's feed mill was successful? This is really good news, well, in the future, the people of Europe will have cheap pork, chicken, and beef to eat. Scrooge put down the telegram in his hand.

"I've heard that some guys in Europe are waiting to catch our problems. Aren't you worried that they'll come up with a standard for you and make your stuff unsafe? Dorothea leaned back on the couch, eating a piece of chocolate, and said this to Scrooge in a tone that feared that the world would not be chaotic.

"How is that possible?" Scrooge smiled disappreliantly, although the things he added were harmful, but the harmful Cheng dù was really nothing in this era, and if someone really had to prove it with real yàn, then the final result was mostly just advertising for Scrooge.

"Dorothea, stop eating chocolate, you've eaten several pieces. If you eat it again, you will grow fat, and you will grow fat, beware that I don't want you anymore. ”

"Cut, you dare?" Dorothea glanced at Scrooge and put another piece of chocolate in her mouth.
