Is it legal to force bright kitchen? In February 2114, the State Food and Drug Administration deployed all localities to carry out bright kitchen work in the catering industry; Since 2115, it has been officially promoted throughout the country, urging catering service providers to publicize the catering food processing process through various forms such as transparent windows or glass curtain walls, video display,
open kitchens or windows, and put the key parts and links of catering services under social supervision.
By the end of 2116, there were 912,611 catering service units in China, an increase of 1.15% compared with the same period in 2115, accounting for 27.52% of the total number of licensed catering service units. Although many restaurants are promoting the bright kitchen, some catering units have their own "small abacus" and the initiative to implement it is not enough. 1. The kitchen is not open
Lu Ming, supervisor of Guixi Food and Drug Administration, Chengdu High-tech Zone, said that many catering units have poor kitchens and hygiene standards, so their enthusiasm is not high.
An engineer in charge of installing monitoring probes introduced a detail: When the chef learned that all citizens could see the kitchen at any time and anywhere, he asked the engineer to "turn it off immediately". After learning that it could not be turned off, the chef suggested, "Just turn it off for half an hour! "I'll immediately organize a cleaning so that the people can see. Is there anyone coming to our hotel?"
2. Unwilling to increase investment
The implementation of bright kitchen requires investment in the purchase, installation and maintenance of video transmission equipment, and it takes time to renovate the kitchen, and some catering service units are unwilling to increase investment.
"The cost of a display screen is about 21,111 yuan, and we are responsible for installation and maintenance. Restaurants don't have to spend a penny, but only pay for electricity and update data regularly." Wang Jun, director of the southwest region of Ming Kitchen Bright Stove Display Installation Company and Oriental Tianchen Culture Media Co., Ltd., said that some enterprises haggle over every ounce and feel that they are reluctant to install it because they spend more electricity.
The person in charge of a restaurant in Chengdu admits that the daily supervision is random inspection, and it comes several times a year, so there is no need to spend money to renovate the kitchen to cope with the inspection. 3. Lack of compulsory measures
According to Article 55 of the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, catering service providers are encouraged to disclose the processing process and information on food raw materials and their ingredients. Open processing is not mandatory.
The person in charge of the Second Department of Food Supervision of the State Food and Drug Administration said that the regulations and normative documents issued by the State Food and Drug Administration all regard the open processing process of catering service providers as an advocacy act and are not mandatory. Catering service providers have a process of adaptation and acceptance, and the coverage is expected to be further expanded through the demonstration and leading role of the implemented enterprises.
