Should the health department punish the laundry company or the hotel if the linen bacteria exceed the standard?

According to the "Health Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, the health department will generally punish the responsible party if it detects excessive bacteria in linen. Whether to punish the cleaning company or the hotel depends on the specific circumstances.

If the laundry company fails to implement the washing procedures correctly or makes serious operational errors, resulting in excessive bacteria in the linen, the health department may impose penalties on the laundry company, such as fines, temporary suspension of operations, and other measures.

If the hotel fails to use and replace linen in strict accordance with the requirements, or there are serious sources of pollution during use, resulting in excessive bacteria in the linen, the health department may impose penalties on the hotel, such as fines, Order rectification and other measures.

It should be noted that the specific penalties and division of responsible parties may vary depending on the region and specific cases. The final judgment is made by the relevant health regulatory authorities.
