The government appoints a commission to look at the food crimes should be able to give prison, writes Dagens Nyheter.

Until 2006, the food crimes provide up to two years in prison, but that’s not the case anymore. NFA would like to see it reinstated. The low penalty rate has to get fraud concerning foods lead to prosecution.

– We want prison terms because we believe that food crimes can involve very serious phenomena. Purely criminal is now a misdemeanor, a crime that is on the same level as shoplifting, says Maria Florin, team leader at the NFA.

The government will also look at the possibility of imposing fines, which means simpler crime does not should have to take all the way to the right. Those who carry out food inspections should be able to decide on penalties.
