Media: nutritious food in the end "nutrition" who

Nutritious food is to increase nutrition for students, in any case, can not "nutrition" those who can not see the light of the business

November 23, ate the school's nutritious lunch After eating the school's nutritious lunch, Xinxiang Fengqiu County, Zhao Gang Town, Qi Cheng Middle School more than 30 students vomiting, diarrhea phenomenon. In the face of the reporter's interview, Qi Cheng Middle School Wang principal said that last Monday only began distribution of lunch, did not expect this Tuesday this situation.November 25, Fengqiu County government issued an official message that has been set up a joint investigation team, overnight to carry out the investigation work. At the same time, responsible for the school teachers and students with food Beijing Zhihong catering company was also called off the food, to be identified and then dealt with.

"Nutritional food, nutritional food, eat a large number of down at once." The words of the students' parents revealed infinite grief and anger. In this regard, Chi Cheng Middle School Wang principal is also y helpless, and even in front of the reporter covered his face and cried, one side said "I want to let the students eat better", one side negated the parents to replace the proposal of the delivery company, "because this is the Bureau of Education bidding". When a food safety incident occurs in a school, the person in charge of the school often becomes a target, but Principal Wang's tearful response seemed to impress the parents present, who complained that "the principal is not in charge, and it is not a good idea to look for the principal."

"The principal does not take care of things", who can "take care of things"? Or who should be responsible for the food safety accidents in schools? The local education bureau responsible for bidding, as well as responsible for food distribution of Beijing Zhihong catering company, is bound to face fierce public opinion questioning. Eyes on the sky check shows that Beijing Zhihong catering company was established in September 18, 2020, the registered capital of 50,000 yuan, the company's registered address is Fengtai District, Beijing. The resulting question is, a Beijing catering company, why to the far away Xinxiang Fengqiu County school distribution of nutritious lunch? The relevant bidding procedures in the end what does it look like?

In recent years, food safety accidents caused by nutritious lunches have occurred from time to time, in which the bidding insiders have also been exposed many times, which not only relates to the immediate interests of countless students and parents, but also relates to a good governance can be put into practice - in order to improve the health of rural students, especially in poorer areas and students from economically disadvantaged families In order to improve the health of rural students, especially those in poor areas and those from economically disadvantaged families, the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students has been launched since the fall semester of 2011. This is a good policy that will benefit the current generation and the future, but at the same time implies huge expenditures at all levels of finance. Data show that in 2021, the central financial year **** arranged 26.034 billion yuan of subsidies for students' nutritional diets, an increase of 12.9% over the previous year, and since 2011, the central financial cumulative arrangement of subsidies for students' nutritional diets amounted to 196.734 billion yuan.

The incident of collective vomiting among students that took place at Chi Cheng Middle School is still subject to further investigation as to whether it was caused by the hygienic quality of the nutritious lunches. What should also be investigated is why the local education authorities traveled far and wide to choose a Beijing-based catering company to provide meal preparation services for local schools. Although the Government Procurement Law does not impose geographical restrictions on bidders, in a special field like the catering industry, a basic common sense is that local companies have more cost and efficiency advantages. Regardless of who the successful bidder actually is, it will ultimately have to arrange production and carry out meal distribution locally. Even if you don't take into account the possible increase in food safety risks associated with off-site management, the very fact that you have to go so far away from your home means that your purchasing costs will increase, so how does the bidding process work, and what is the basis for the final selection?

In the face of the camera, choking Wang sympathetic to the principal, "a school is not easy" sigh, more people added a few points of anxiety - nutritious food is for students to increase nutrition, in any case can not be "Nutrition" of those who do not see the light of business, in a thorough investigation of the health of the food at the same time, the health of the management mechanism, should also be a good check.
