“I know laws in Spain are different from the US but isn’t doing something like this a serious crime? In America deliberately tampering and contaminating food that is being sold to the general public is a crime,” said another viewer.
In the United States, Chloe López could indeed be convicted of a crime codified in Title 18 of the US Code 1365.
The law defines the offense as doing or attempting to tamper with a product with “reckless disregard for the fact that it might cause injury or death or with the intent of causing injury to a business.”

The action is labeled as a federal crime, and it includes tainting a product, its label, or its packaging.
Exact duplicates of this law do not exist in the UK or Spain, but similar measures can be found within their legal codes.
In the UK, the Food Safety Act 1990 explains that tampering with food and, specifically, rendering it injurious to health is a crime.
In Spain, article nº 365 of the Penal Code establishes that “anyone who poisons or contaminates food intended for public use, will be punished with a prison sentence of up to six years.”
