毒胶囊事件案件评析——兼议生产、销售伪劣商品罪对象

Comment on the Event of Toxic Capsule and Discussion on the Object of Producing and Saling of Fake Commodities Crime

毒胶囊事件是我国食品安全领域的重大事件,根据食品与药品的划分标准———是否具备化学性药理作用,应当将毒胶囊认定为食品。同时应当将传统的食品内涵与外延作扩大解释,将一切可食用的无药理作用的物质认定为食品,生产销售毒胶囊的行为就可以被认定为生产销售有毒有害食品罪而非生产销售劣药罪或者其他类似罪名,并依据情节的严重性予以相应的惩罚。如此,便可做到罪责刑相统一,亦可在现阶段食品安全状况较恶劣时期发挥刑法的保护作用。

The event of toxic capsule is a bad accident in the field of food safety in China.According to the food and drug discrimination standard—that is,existence of chemical pharmacology,we should define toxic capsule as food.At the same time,we should expand the connotation and denotation of traditional food and identify all edible but not pharmacologic substances as food.So,the production and sales of toxic capsule can be identified as the production and sales of poisonous and harmful food crime other than production and sales of false drugs crime or others,and be sentenced according to its seriousness.Thus,we can also achieve the balance of crime,responsibility and punishment.As a result,the criminal law can also play its protective role better at this stage when the food security is such a big issue.
