2017 年 2 月，美国食品检验局经测试发现一批2,100 箱冷冻烤鳗鱼货柜中含有龙胆紫、白龙胆紫和孔雀石绿等违禁药品，便立即将其稽押。 但其进口商Kevin Shen Hsiang Fang（41 岁）和他的批发公司永昌贸易有限公司于当年晚些时候再次违规，将不合格鳗鱼与一批新鳗鱼产品混合，并通过使用不同产品标号试图再度将其进口美国。 今年5月31日，方某对其走私并试图进口掺假冷冻烤鳗鱼罪供认不讳。

In February 2017, the FDA detained a shipment consisting of 2,100 cartons of frozen roasted eels after a test found it adulterated with Gentian Violet, Leucogentian Violet, and Malachite Green. Its importer, Kevin Sheng Hsiang Fang, 41, and his wholesale business Yong Chang Trading Co., tried to re-import it later in that year by mixing it with a new shipment of eels and using different identification numbers that are needed when bringing goods to the U.S. Fang pleaded guilty to smuggling and introducing the adulterated frozen roasted eels on May 31.
根据 FDA 的警告，抗生素残留可能会导致人类病原体产生抗菌药物耐药性，而长期接触孔雀石绿和龙胆紫已被证明具有致癌作用。 然而最近的研究发现，作为美国和加拿大养殖鱼类的主要供应国的中国，其多地的水产养殖户却在海产养殖塘中大量使用动物药物和抗生素。中国海产养殖产品约占全球的 60%。
According to an FDA alert, antibiotic residues may contribute to antimicrobial resistance in human pathogens, and prolonged exposure to Malachite Green and Gentian Violet has been shown to have a carcinogenic effect. However, recent studies have found massive use of animal drugs and antibiotics by aquaculture farmers throughout China, a leading provider of farmed fish to the US and Canada, accounting for about 60 percent of farmed marine products worldwide.
几十年来，海鲜产品的安全性一直是中国关注的焦点——《纽约时报》2007 年的一项调查揭示了中国南方省份在毒水塘中养殖鱼类的恐怖现状。 环境污染和污水供应导致海产养殖户在饲料中掺入一系列强力且往往是非法的抗生素和杀虫剂，以对抗鱼类疾病并延长存活期。 这种毒养海产方式使鱼产品中含有有毒物质及致癌残留物，对消费者的健康构成威胁。 美国食品检验局2007 年的测试显示，中国 18 家公司生产的 15% 的海鲜品种含有一种或多种污染物。 随着西方对中国进口养殖鱼类产品的需求下降，中国政府采取措施禁止使用致癌抗生素并惩罚违规者。 然而，违禁违规养殖现象依然存在，2021年美食品检验局颁布的进口食品警告称，美食检局不断从中国进口的水产养殖海鲜产品中发现这些药物和其他动物药物。
Seafood safety has been a concern for decades in China—an NYTimes investigation in 2007 shed light on farming fish in toxic water in its southern provinces. The environmental pollution and the use of sewage water supply led Chinese farmers to mix an array of powerful, and often illegal, antibiotics and pesticides into fish feed to fight off disease and keep the stock alive. The widespread toxic farming practice left poisonous and carcinogenic residues in farmed fish products, posing health threats to consumers. The FDA tests in 2007 showed that 15 percent of seafood species produced by 18 companies in China contained traces of one or more of the contaminants. Facing fallen demands from the West, the Chinese government took action to ban carcinogenic antibiotics and punish rule breakers. However, the problems have persisted, and according to the 2021 FDA revised import alert, it continues to find residues of these and other animal drugs in shipments of aquacultured seafood products from China.
加拿大每年从中国进口 5.2 亿元的海鲜产品，这一中国进口违禁食品案件使进口食品的安全问题再度成为加拿大消费者的关注焦点。 食品进口商在确保加拿大进口食品市场安全方面发挥着重要作用。 加拿大食品检验局媒体关系人士告诉《大中报》，CFIA在从食品安全到营养质量再到标签方面对进口食品与国产食品采用相同的监管标准。 CFIA还会对进口到加拿大的养殖鱼产品中的从呋喃妥因、孔雀石绿和龙胆紫等药物和农药残留量进行监控，并要求进口商确保这些化学物质不超过最高限量标准。 食品监管机构还进行抽样检测，以查出的有害食品，并对违规食品稽留、扣押，甚至销毁，以及对违法者采取执法行动。
The criminal case against Fang has brought the safety of imported food to the front and center for consumers in Canada, which imports $ 520 million in seafood products from China each year. Importers play a significant role in ensuring the safety of the Canadian food market using foreign suppliers. The CFIA media relations told Chinese News that the CFIA requires the same standard for imported food as domestically produced – from food safety to nutritional quality to labeling. The CFIA monitors the residues of drugs and pesticides – including Nitrofurantoin, Malachite Green, and Gentian Violet from the farmed fish products imported to Canada, demanding importers prove the chemicals not exceeding the maximum limits. The food regulator also conducts sampling and testing to detect unsafe products and may seize, detain and destroy non-compliant goods, taking enforcement actions against wrongdoers.
作为中国冷冻烤鳗鱼的大批进口商的Kevin Shen Hsiang Fang，在量刑听证会上被判处最高 21 年的监禁。 这一判决也许会对那些置公众健康于不顾而只顾追求商业利润的企业行为起到一定警示作用，但消费者对中国进口食品的安全性必须谨慎，不可掉以轻心。
Fang, a high-volume importer of Chinese frozen roasted eel, may face up to 21 years behind bars at his scheduled sentencing. While Fang's jail terms may deter unscrupulous businesses from prioritizing profits over people's health, consumers must stay on their toes.
