The food offered in fast food restaurants is increasingly defined as harmful and especially dangerous. In this regard, Taiwan's Prime Minister Jiang Yihua decided to take strict measures. Ihua toughened the punishment for violating food safety standards after a series of major scandals.
A few days ago, one of the companies was severely punished. It has to pay $ 1.6 million for supplies of low-quality vegetable oil, the consumption of which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and even cause cancer.
According to the legal amendments, people convicted of using banned substances or substituting ingredients can spend seven years in prison. If a person is injured because of the committed violations, the perpetrators will be sentenced to life imprisonment.
On the other hand, those who alert for violations in the food sector can expect a reward of up to 60 thousand dollars.
According to a BBC News correspondent in Taipei, Taiwan's cuisine was considered high quality until recently, but due to some misunderstandings, the industry has suffered significantly recently.
Taiwan is not the only country where the authorities are taking special measures regarding fast food. We remind you that some time ago the Romanian Ministry of Health announced that it was considering imposing a tax on fast food.
According to the authorities, the consumption of unhealthy foods increases the incidence of certain diseases and therefore it is quite normal for these products to be charged additionally in order to reduce their intake.
In recent years, fast food has become the subject of much heated debate. According to some scientists, the harms of eating fast food are countless. One recent study found that a month's fast food intake compared it to hepatitis.
Harmful foods, in addition to helping to gain extra pounds, also harm the liver. The most dangerous, according to experts, are the favorite of many of us french fries, cooked in reusable fat. For this reason, doctors advise people to avoid visits to fast food restaurants.
