    Well, what is this stuff

    You won't be unaware

    Isn't this the famous QS logo?

    It took effect on October 1 last year

    It's already obsolete

    however

    Some of them are lucky

    Food production industry practitioners in order to save costs,

    It is still produced and sold after the transition period

    Recently, the Xiaoshan District Market Supervision Bureau investigated and dealt with a related food violation case according to clues, and imposed administrative penalties


    In January this year, the Linpu Institute of the Xiaoshan District Market Supervision Bureau carried out a surprise inspection of a food company in the jurisdiction based on the tip-off clues, and after the investigation, it was found that the outer packaging of a peanut crisp food product produced by the parties was printed with the "QS" logo, but the production and sales dates were after October 1, 2018, and it was also found that the product standard number marked on the outer packaging of the product was wrong
