This paper starts with classic cases, and analyzes common practical
problems around the focus of case disputes to standardize the application
of punitive damages provisions in the field of food label defects disputes.
When applying Article 148 of food safety law to solve the dispute of food
label defects, we must correctly grasp the following aspects: First, Consumer
damage is not necessary; Second, food label defects will affect food safety or
mislead consumers in order to apply punitive damages; Third, the principle
of formal review is the main principle of relevance judgment, supplemented
by the principle of substantive review; Fourth, the subjective consciousness of
operators and consumers should be strictly examined.
