Controversy continues in many places! Who is in charge of the pre-cooked dishes entering the campus？

　　Prefabricated vegetables, also known as prefabricated prepared food, generally refer to semi-finished products or finished products processed by pre-selection, modulation and other processes with all kinds of agricultural, livestock, poultry and aquatic products as raw and auxiliary materials, with seasonings and other auxiliary materials; Usually, prefabricated vegetables need to be stored or transported under cold chain conditions for consumers or catering processors to simply heat or cook before eating.

　　The new semester has just begun, and the topic of prefabricated dishes entering the campus has frequently sparked heated discussions.

　　According to the news report, from some videos posted by parents on social media, it can be seen that because parents can’t enter the campus and there is no place to eat after the canteen is closed in the campus, the school gate is crowded with parents who deliver food, and many students can only squat or stand at the school gate and have lunch quickly with the lunch boxes in their hands.

　　Parents are worried.

　　Some people resolutely resist the resignation of others to deliver meals.

　　According to China News Weekly, recently, many parents of primary and middle school students in Rongjiang New District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province released videos, complaining about the slow speed, poor quality and poor taste of the lunches distributed to students in the local area. One of the parents also had lunch in the video, saying that the children reported that the meat in the meal was very salty, the leaves were yellow, and the yuba was very sour and could not be eaten at all.

　　As can be seen in the video, many children have not finished eating, and most of the food in the lunch box is left.

　　According to parents, in the exchange group of "boycotting prepared dishes" spontaneously formed by parents of students, several parents reported that their children had diarrhea after eating school meals.

　　In the column "Jiangxi Question" of Jiangxi Radio and TV Station’s urban channel network political platform, some parents questioned this matter. The Social Affairs Administration of Rongjiang New District of Ganzhou replied that the meal was distributed by the central kitchen and would stop catering to the central kitchen of kindergartens in the whole district. However, the central kitchen catering system is still implemented in primary and secondary schools in Rongjiang New District.

　　In recent years, the central kitchen centralized feeding mode has been introduced in many places across the country, and catering companies have realized centralized distribution of meals to primary and secondary schools and kindergartens. Under normal circumstances, the central kitchen covers the collective feeding of many schools, and some also undertake the distribution of ingredients in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the whole city or the whole region.

　　Recently, concerns about centralized catering in the central kitchen are spreading in many places, and parents are worried that the unified catering in schools contains prefabricated dishes, which will be harmful to students’ health for a long time.

　　Some parents said that prefabricated dishes can be eaten but not suitable for everyone, and time and cost should not be saved on children’s meals. Some parents think that prefabricated dishes can be made, but they must be open and transparent, so that everyone can supervise and choose.

　　A parent from Wuxi told reporters that she had resigned because of this, and now she delivers meals to her children every day. "There are only two food delivery people in my baby’s class, but those who don’t have time to deliver meals also resolutely resist."

　　The parent said that the children’s school is a semi-finished product that is uniformly distributed, and the vegetarian dishes are semi-finished. The vegetarian dishes are washed, cut and put in plastic bags and sent to school every other day. She is clearly opposed to this way. "Anyone who has cooked knows that this will definitely go bad." "The ingredients uniformly distributed by some local schools are all fresh ingredients, the vegetables are one by one, and the meat is also fresh. If it is that kind, I can accept it." She said.

　　Respond in detail in many places

　　No pre-cooked dishes are made and delivered on the same day.

　　Although the central kitchen is not the same as prefabricated dishes, it has triggered a discussion about how to treat prefabricated dishes into the campus.

　　Many netizens reported that it is a common phenomenon for prefabricated dishes to enter the campus in many places, and some people directly exposed the ordering information of "prefabricated dishes" issued by the parents of the school, including detailed menus and ingredient lists, which are clearly marked with the words "prefabricated dishes", and there are many additives in the ingredient list. Since then, many parents have expressed their concerns through the political platform.

　　For example, citizens in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province left a message asking Huzhou City to give a clear attitude towards whether or not the prepared dishes enter the campus. As parents resolutely resist, if a child eats prepared vegetables five days a week, the health of the child is completely a problem.

　　On September 14th, Huzhou Education Bureau replied that Huzhou requires school canteens to purchase fresh ingredients. At present, no prepared dishes have entered the campus, and we will further strengthen supervision and management.

　　Parents in Dongguan, Guangdong Province complained that they found that children are eating prepared dishes at school, and it is unacceptable for children to eat these foods in the next three years.

　　Nancheng Street in Dongguan responded on September 12 that most of the meals in the school canteen are cooked with fresh ingredients, but such as chicken legs (wings), duck legs (wings), pork chops and meatballs will choose chilled food and frozen products. No problems have been found in the school canteen, such as pre-prepared dishes and outsourced cooked food.

　　There are also parents in Haikou, Hainan who suspect that the distribution company of kindergarten meals uses prefabricated vegetables, frozen food, etc., and there are also ultra-long-distance meals.

　　On September 13th, the Education Bureau of Meilan District of Haikou City explained that kindergartens in this district choose enterprises that have obtained the qualification of collective catering recognized by the Market Supervision Administration. Strictly control the time from taking out the pot to eating within 4 hours. All meals are determined according to the length of eating time and distance, and the time of cooking, dividing meals and loading and distribution is ensured, and the central temperature of meals is above 60℃ during transportation. All the dishes delivered are made and delivered on the same day, not prepared dishes.

　　Food safety experts

　　Safe but not necessarily healthy, students should be cautious.

　　According to Shanghai TV station, Professor Li Shuguang from Fudan University School of Public Health said that prefabricated dishes were very popular in the past two years, and all kinds of prefabricated dishes were sold in the online live broadcast room before. As long as it meets the relevant laws and standards, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of prepared dishes, but the safety may not be healthy. Minors belong to a special group, and their food safety is different from that of ordinary adults, so they should be more cautious.

　　Professor Li Shuguang said that after prefabricated vegetables enter the campus, many problems will affect their safety, such as the selection of raw materials, washing and cutting, and transportation, which need to be paid attention to and strengthened supervision. In addition, food packaging materials are also a link that needs to be taken seriously after prefabricated vegetables enter the school.

　　According to China Newsweek, Chen Qianlin, president of Guangdong Country Garden Experimental School, said that he opposed the introduction of prepared dishes into the campus. He believes that prefabricated dishes are a new thing, and the impact on people’s health has not yet been known. "You must never do experiments on children."

　　Xiong Bingqi, president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that for underage students, their food safety is directly related to their physical development and health. Therefore, before introducing prefabricated dishes, scientific demonstration and evaluation are needed to test whether they meet the nutritional requirements of students. If these problems cannot be solved, the hasty introduction of campus will inevitably be opposed by parents of students.

　　In the "News 1+1" program, the deputy secretary-general of Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee said in an interview that primary and secondary school students are consumers first and enjoy the same right to know and choose. Secondly, primary and secondary school students are minors and special consumers, so their legal agents — — Parents should know and know about the dishes provided by the school. If all the school canteens are made of pre-cooked dishes supplied from outside, parents’ right to know and choose will also be deprived. On this issue, schools should fully communicate with family committees or parents, including the choice of suppliers, to ensure that children can eat healthy and safe food.
