Officially informed the vendor that "dead crabs are sold as live crabs": it is true, and the merchants involved have been retired.
BEIJING, June 6 (Xinhua)-On the 6th, the Market Supervision Administration of Shenbei New District in Shenyang issued the "Report on the Investigation of a vendor selling dead crabs as live crabs" in Yurun Seafood Market through its official WeChat WeChat official account, saying that on June 4, 2023, a video number of an online platform released information saying whether there were unscrupulous vendors selling dead crabs as live crabs in Yurun Seafood Market in Shenyang, which deceived consumers and attracted netizens’ attention. The Shenbei New District Market Supervision Administration attached great importance to it, and Yurun Market Supervision Office responded quickly, and immediately launched an investigation on the main market involved and Yurun seafood market. The investigation and treatment results are hereby notified as follows:
After investigation, the merchant involved was "Maoge Shangpin Aquatic Products Business Firm in Shenbei New District, Shenyang" at No.21 stall in Frozen Products Zone.
When consumers buy flying crabs, the merchants’ language actions mislead consumers. Finally, the anchor bought two flying crabs at the price of 60 yuan/Jin. On that day, the retail price of live flying crabs in the market was 150 yuan/kg, and the price of dead flying crabs was 65 yuan/kg. The anchor bought two dead flying crabs at the price of 60 yuan/kg, and there was no fraud in the price. However, the owner of "Maoge Shangpin Aquatic Products Business Firm in Shenbei New District of Shenyang City" misled consumers through words and actions during the sales period. Law enforcement officers verified with the owner that the situation was basically true.
On June 5th, the market organizer Shenyang Gongda Seafood Market Management Co., Ltd. decided to clear the market for "Maoge Shangpin Aquatic Products Business Firm in Shenbei New District of Shenyang".
On the same day, Yurun Market Supervision Institute and the market organizer conducted a strict investigation on all merchants in Yurun Seafood Market. All measuring tools in the market were accurate, fair and normal, and no other illegal business practices were found. At the same time, during the inspection, the market merchants were once again given publicity on law popularization and integrity management education.
"People can’t stand without faith, and businesses can’t prosper without faith". "Dead crabs are sold as live crabs" damages the rights and interests of consumers and other legitimate operators in the market, which also dampens the confidence of consumers and damages the reputation of the market. Shenbei New District Market Supervision Administration warned all operators: Don’t be lucky, adding "skills" will only lose business; Know how to operate with integrity, so as to achieve your final goal! At the same time, Shenbei New District Market Supervision Administration has always adhered to the "strict" tone, severely cracked down on all kinds of illegal acts in accordance with the law, and will continue to strengthen supervision, resolutely safeguard market order, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and sincerely welcome the supervision of consumers and all sectors of society.
