Court backs customer in caramel case
Print Edition
A Beijing court has upheld a food safety ruling, ordering a supermarket to refund and compensate a customer who found restricted food additives in a meat product.
The customer had bought 17 bags of beef and mutton in sauce for 695.2 yuan (US$105.7) at a supermarket in Beijing on March 21, 2015, according to the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court.
The woman sued the supermarket after she discovered caramel coloring listed as one of the ingredients. The additive is not allowed to be used in sauced meat products in China, said the court, which didn’t name the supermarket.
The supermarket was then ordered to refund her money and pay her 10 times the cost of the purchase.
However, it lodged an appeal after the trial in June 2015.
The Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court has now upheld the original verdict, saying the sauced meat sold in the supermarket violated both the standards for uses of food additives and the Food Safety Law.
