The difference between false one pays three and false one pays ten.

Ten-fold compensation is usually applicable to the field of food safety, and three-fold compensation is applicable to the situation that operators cheat their goods or services.

"False one loses three" and "false one loses ten" are both punitive damages.

If a business operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, it shall increase the compensation for the losses suffered by consumers according to their requirements. In addition to the amount of compensation for the goods themselves, it is also necessary to compensate for the actual price of the goods or three times the cost of receiving services, that is, one refund and three losses. If the increased amount of compensation is less than that of 500 yuan, it shall be calculated in 500 yuan. However, if there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail.

In the case of producing food that does not meet the food safety standards or selling food that is known to fail to meet the food safety standards, consumers can demand compensation from the producers and operators for 10 times the price or 3 times the loss. If the increased compensation amount is less than 1000 yuan, it should be 1000 yuan.

No matter whether the merchant constitutes fraud or not, as long as the food he produces does not meet the food safety standards and has an impact on your health, you should "return one for ten". If the food meets the requirements of safe production, then it is not applicable to refund one for ten. But if the food is fake, it is also applicable to fake one and lose three.

"Fake one loses ten" refers to the production and sale of food that does not meet the safety standards of producers or operators. The Food Safety Law stipulates that consumers may require producers and operators to pay ten times the price or three times the loss in addition to compensation for producing food that does not meet food safety standards or operating food that they know does not meet food safety standards; If the additional compensation amount is less than 1000 yuan, it is 1000 yuan. However, the labels and instructions of food have the defects of not affecting food safety and not misleading consumers.

Article 55 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests stipulates that if a business operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, it shall increase the compensation for the losses it has suffered according to the requirements of consumers, and the amount of compensation shall be three times the price of the goods purchased by consumers or the cost of receiving services; If the amount of additional compensation is less than that of 500 yuan, it shall be 500 yuan. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail.

According to Article 148 of the Food Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), consumers who suffer from eating food that does not meet the food safety standards may claim compensation from the operators or producers. The producers and operators who accept the consumer's claim for compensation shall implement the first responsibility system, pay in advance, and shall not shirk; If it is the producer's responsibility, the operator has the right to recover from the producer after compensation; If it is the responsibility of the operator, the producer has the right to recover from the operator after compensation.

In the production of food that does not meet the food safety standards or in the operation of food that is known to fail to meet the food safety standards, consumers can demand compensation from the producers and operators for losses that are ten times the price or three times the loss; If the additional compensation amount is less than 1000 yuan, it is 1000 yuan.
