英語新聞|“洗衣液奶茶”，全部下架！

A brand of milk tea has been pulled from the shelves in China due to the striking resemblance of its packaging to laundry detergent bottles, after alarmed consumers feared it could mislead children into drinking cleaning liquid.

一款酷似洗衣液瓶造型的奶茶日前在我國下架，此前有消費(fèi)者擔(dān)心這會誤導(dǎo)兒童飲用洗衣液。

The Thai-style milk tea, produced in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, eastern China, is packaged with Thai characters printed on the label in bottles which look exactly like those used by common laundry liquids and other cleaning products, with a similar handle and lid, news site Jimu News reported.

據(jù)極目新聞報(bào)道，這是一款最早火爆于江蘇省南京市的泰式奶茶，包裝上印有泰文，且看上去與普通洗衣液和其他清潔產(chǎn)品使用的瓶子一模一樣，手柄和蓋子也都很是相似。

The milk tea was being sold in 500ml bottles in the restaurant chain's three outlets across the city.

這款奶茶在南京的三個連鎖餐廳以500毫升的瓶裝規(guī)格出售。

The unusual bottle design caused heated online discussions on Weibo over the weekend, with internet users debating the resemblance to laundry detergent.

上周末，這款“洗衣液”奶茶的包裝設(shè)計(jì)在微博上引起了熱議，網(wǎng)友們對其酷似洗衣液的相似之處爭論不休。

"Its design is novel. However, I am afraid some parents don't tell their kids about the potential danger from this type of packaging similarity. After the kids drink the milk tea once, they may drink dishwashing liquid at home thinking it is also milk tea," a second person commented.

有人評論道：“設(shè)計(jì)挺新穎的，但是這種包裝相似性的潛在危險恐怕有的家長不會提醒孩子。孩子喝了一次‘洗衣液’奶茶后，可能就會在家里喝洗衣液，并且認(rèn)為這也是奶茶?！?/p>

A third person said: "You can be creative in design, but you should be socially responsible. This kind of packaging would definitely mislead children and could result in serious consequences."

還有人評論說：“設(shè)計(jì)可以有創(chuàng)意，但要對社會負(fù)責(zé)，這樣的‘洗衣液’包裝肯定會誤導(dǎo)孩子，后果很嚴(yán)重。”

The local market supervision authority said that they would launch an investigation into the packaging.

南京市市場監(jiān)管局表示，將對此包裝展開調(diào)查。

The company said it had changed the packs on Sunday after the online panic, Nanjing newspaper the Yangtze Evening News reported. But a waiter at the restaurant said they had noticed fewer customers buying the milk tea after altering the products' packaging.

據(jù)南京《揚(yáng)子晚報(bào)》報(bào)道，該涉事店鋪已于周日更換了奶茶的包裝。然而該餐廳的一名服務(wù)員表示，產(chǎn)品包裝改變后，購買奶茶的顧客減少了。

Wu Zhengping, a lawyer from Hubei Shouyi Law Firm, told Jimu News that food safety is not only related to food quality but is also related to safety risks caused by packaging style and methods.

湖北首義律師事務(wù)所吳正平告知極目新聞：食品安全不僅是指食品本身是否對人體健康有危害，也包括食品包裝方法等與食品安全相關(guān)的因素。

"According to the Food Safety Law, the authorities' food safety risk assessment system monitors food quality as well as the safety of the food's packaging," he said.

他表示：“根據(jù)《食品安全法》的規(guī)定，有關(guān)部門的食品安全風(fēng)險評估制度，對公開銷售的食品及包裝的安全性予以監(jiān)督?！?/p>
