A ridiculous excuse for a restaurant that has illegally injected antibiotics into its food that may cause stomachache

The reason is that it is an act that prevents customers from experiencing abdominal pain due to bacterial infections during food ingredients or cooking.
According to local media such as Guangming News, Chinese prosecutors selected 'Antibiotic Illegal Distribution' in Soongcheon-gu, Nantong-si, Jiangsu Province as the representative of cases of food and drug safety-related crimes.
According to the prosecution, some of the 500 pharmacies in Sungcheon-gu have been selling large quantities of the antibiotic 'sulfate gentamicin injection' without a prescription. Some of these flowed into the restaurant and were added to the dish.
The prosecution pointed out that this is an illegal act to reduce the risk of abdominal pain and diarrhea due to food freshness or poor cooking, and is a serious threat to food safety.
The prosecution found such a clue while investigating the sale of harmful foods, and analyzed the sales data to identify related pharmacies and restaurants.
The prosecution recommended administrative punishment, tracking distribution channels, and a full investigation into illegal additions and distribution of prescription drugs to the Market Supervisory Service. Accordingly, the supervisory authority imposed administrative penalties on related hotels and managers and ordered 15 pharmacies to correct them.
In addition, 335 restaurants were inspected, 508 pharmacies were investigated, and 105 corrective actions were taken.
Prosecutors later secured 129 additional clues in other regions using sales data models, and also found cases in which human prescription drugs were illegally used in aquaculture.
The Chinese prosecution said it will continue to strengthen law enforcement in cooperation with administrative agencies to protect the safety of the people's table.
