食品犯罪认定中因果关系的证明强度应相对淡化

The Certification of the Causality in Food- related Crimes should be Weakened

食品安全是维系民生和社会安定的重大问题。在严重危及民众生命健康安全的食品犯罪案件层出不穷的情况下,以"严刑峻法杀无赦"的重刑主义规制食品犯罪无异于舍本逐末;反之,在食品犯罪认定中,降低因果关系的证明强度,提高刑罚的不可避免性,才是规制食品犯罪之正途。对此,在食品犯罪认定中可引入过错推定责任、疫学因果关系说,将食品犯罪认定中因果关系的证明强度相对淡化,从而遏制食品犯罪的高发势头,保障民众食品安全。

Food safety is a weighty issue maintaining people~ livelihood and social stability. In the situation that food - related crimes endangering people＇ s lives keep happening, it is just to lose the substance for the shadow if we crack down on these crimes with the heavy penalty doctrine ＂to kill all with severe penalty＂. On the contrary, it is a right way to weaken the certification of causality and promote the inevitability of punishment. Therefore, the theory of liability of fault presumption and immunology causality can be introduced while the certification of causali- ty should be weakened during deciding food -related crimes, so that these crimes may be prevented and the peo- ple＇s food may be secured.
