Four people were arrested on Saturday in Spain because of packaging counterfeit baby formula mostly destined for China. Eight tons of faked formula was found, according to police in Girona. One of the four impostors has had a criminal record in his home country.
上周六,西班牙警方逮捕了四名嫌疑人,涉嫌包裝假冒的嬰兒奶粉,其中大部分銷往中國。西班牙赫羅納警方稱共繳獲了8噸假奶粉。其中一名嫌犯在其原籍國曾有犯罪記錄。
The investigation was developed in Spain. The police quickly locked up a suspicious buyer and intercepted a cargo ship, which is filled with 13,320 cases of fake milk powder labeled with different brands, at the port, in the small town of Girona, Spain. The buyer was preparing to distribute fake milk formula powder to some other places. Meanwhile, in a house on Lloret de Mar in Girona, the police discovered some documents related to illegal conduct.
目前西班牙警方正就此展開調查。警方迅速鎖定了一名嫌疑買主,并在赫羅納小城的港口截獲一艘貨船,船上裝滿了13320箱假奶粉,貼著各種各樣的商標。買主正打算把假奶粉分銷到其他地方。同時,警方還在赫羅納濱海略雷特的一幢房子里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些與犯罪行為有關的文件。
The product, bought in bulk in Poland for one euro per kilogram and delivered to Barcelona to be packaged, was not harmful but lacked the nutrients needed by infants, which will indirectly affect the growth of babies. Besides, the lack of sanitation supervision and quality inspection will also be followed by a high risk of children’s health such as fever and rashes after consuming the formula.
犯罪嫌疑人從波蘭以每公斤1歐元的價格大量購買奶粉,運到巴塞羅那包裝。這些奶粉對身體無害,但缺少嬰兒所需的營養(yǎng)成分,會間接影響嬰兒生長發(fā)育。此外,由于缺少衛(wèi)生監(jiān)管和質量檢查,嬰兒在食用這些假奶粉后患上發(fā)燒和皮疹等疾病的風險也較高。
After being packaged, the powder can be sold 10 euro per 600 gram on their website to the world.
在包裝好后,這些奶粉以每600克10歐元(約合77元人民幣)的價格在網上銷往全球。
The main destinations of the milk is China, according to the police.
西班牙警方表示,這些假奶粉主要銷往中國。
China itself is the world’s fourth-largest milk producer, but the domestic dairies cannot meet the large demand.
中國是全球第四大奶制品生產國,但國內奶制品無法滿足巨大的市場需求。
New safety regulations went into effect on January 1, 2018, instructing China’s baby-formula industry to remove around 1,400 products from the shelves in January, clearing the way for international brands, especially from the US and European countries to grab the shares of a $20 billion market.
2018年1月1日起,中國開始實行新的安全法規(guī),在這一法規(guī)的指導下,市面上大約1400種嬰兒配方奶粉被要求下架,為國際奶粉品牌特別是歐美奶粉搶占市場價值200億美元(約合1264億元人民幣)的中國市場帶來機遇。
In some parents’ eyes, brands from European countries and the US contain better ingredients and pass stricter safety checks.
在一些家長的眼中,歐美奶粉所含成分更好,還通過了嚴格的食品安全檢查。
“If the quality is good, I will buy it, even if the price is higher,” Zhou Liwen, a 34-year-old mother of a 3-year-old-son, told the Bloomberg.
34歲的周麗雯(音)是一個3歲男孩的媽媽,她告訴彭博社說:“如果質量好我就會買,哪怕價格更高。”
The investigation began because of a warning from Europol, the EU government agency, after Polish authorities dismantled a similar factory in Poland without any arrests.
西班牙開展的這次調查起因于歐洲刑警組織(歐盟內部機構)的警告,此前波蘭當局在波蘭關閉了一家類似的工廠,但沒有逮捕任何人。
提醒消費者:網購、特別是海外網購一定要“擦亮雙眼”!在此我們總結了三個海淘陷阱,您中招了嗎?
1 海淘第一大陷阱 “換裝”
舉個例子,“奶粉換裝”顧名思義就是用真正的品牌奶粉罐裝假的奶粉。而真正的奶粉罐哪里來的呢?有部分中國人看到了“商機”,于是千里迢迢趕到外國收購奶粉罐。至于奶粉是不是從境外發(fā)貨并有入境證明已經不重要了,因為奶粉都不是真的了。而海淘其他產品也會有類似奶粉的“換裝”風險。
2 海淘第二大陷阱 山寨洋貨
山寨洋貨最大的特點就是常常流連于微博和朋友圈的代購中,價格中等讓人能接受,而美妝與護膚品占了大部分。鋪天蓋地的好評截圖,花言巧語各種正品保證,看似高大上的包裝都把消費者唬得一愣一愣。
3 海淘第三大陷阱 “廠家直銷”或是假貨
很多人不太相信低價海淘,所以不法分子會打著“廠家拿貨”的幌子告訴消費者來取得信任。有常識的人知道一般品牌為了維持專柜的定價和口碑,是不會用廠家名義給任何個人或者商家提供產品貨物的。而賣的很火的產品都不用為銷量而顧慮,又何必低價出售呢?
