I dare not say anything else, but I might order less takeout, especially fried food.
Internet celebrity fried chicken restaurant controversy
Nowadays, people are particularly concerned about safety. Because of the epidemic, people have begun to pay attention to their bodies. It is said that the body is the capital of revolution. If there is a problem with the body, there will definitely be no way to continue working. As we all know, many young people now work under a 996 working system, and some office workers have no time to cook for themselves and can only order takeout. However, there are always some unscrupulous businesses who ignore food safety issues for profit. Recently, the Supervision Bureau of Meishan, Sichuan, raided an internet celebrity takeout shop and ordered fried chicken. The kitchen was unsightly and dirty. And the hygiene awareness of the kitchen staff is extremely poor, which is simply unsightly and unimaginable.
The merchant defrosted raw materials in the toilet and also used expired products. The staff first checked the store's certificates and found that the fried chicken shop's certificates were not complete. As a restaurant, the business license and other documents are not complete, but it can still take orders on the takeout platform. Obviously this is not just a problem for restaurants, the platform also has a certain responsibility.
The inspection staff also found that the store sold expired food, raw meat was not covered with plastic wrap, and the kitchen range hood was covered with dust and oil stains. The inspector asked the boss how often your range hood is cleaned. The boss replied that it is more than a month. However, as can be seen from the on-site video, the stains on the range hood are already thick and it does not look like it is cleaned once a month. look like. Moreover, a piece of stain on the range hood has fallen off, but it is unknown where it fell off.
The last step is to check the operating tools in the kitchen. It can be seen that the tongs for adding fried chicken are full of oil stains and will not be cleaned at all, and the scissors for cutting chicken pieces are even more rusty. If They were just covered with food crumbs and there was rust on them. The boss also explained that these tools were cleaned every day, but the fact was not what the boss said. According to regulations, every time an order is completed, it must be cleaned once. Even if it cannot meet this standard, it must be washed at least once a day. The boss's guilty answer clearly meant that he failed to do so.
When the staff checked the raw materials, they also found that some chicken had expired. The most important thing was that the production date on the outer packaging of the chicken had been erased, which means that the production date is a mystery and it is very possible. It has expired. When I asked the boss, he said that some of the products were indeed expired. In addition, the merchant also packed food in garbage bags, cut chicken pieces with rusty scissors, and defrosted raw materials in the toilet. Putting food next to the toilet without any regard, there is a risk of cross-infection.
The toilet is inherently an unclean place, and the hygiene inside the toilet is also worrisome. How can customers of the raw materials feel at ease when thawing is carried out in such an environment? Do you think businesses are just tampering with raw materials? No, the boss is not willing to throw away the used oil. In order to save labor costs, the boss only hired two employees, or maybe he couldn't afford the labor. All in all, the owner of the fried chicken restaurant had too many violations and has now closed the store.
Enlightenment to us
Nowadays, more and more people are ordering takeout. I think ordering takeout is particularly convenient. Ultimately, it is because of the lack of time, which is a common problem for working people every day. In the 996 life, it is difficult to find time to cook by yourself, and the food you cook is not as delicious as the takeout, so takeout does bring great convenience to people.
And after the emergence of takeout, it also gave many people a chance to find employment. There are many unemployed people who cannot find a suitable job, and delivery workers can just relieve the employment pressure. I think this is one of the contributions of the platform. There are pros and cons in every situation. For example, in order to seize the time and not deliver the goods beyond the time limit, takeaway workers will run red lights and drive backwards. These are very dangerous. The platform also needs to improve and rectify this phenomenon to ensure the personal safety of delivery workers.
The popularity of takeout orders will put a certain amount of pressure on merchants, who need to complete the order in a shorter time. The most fundamental thing for businesses is to make money, so it is understandable that they will save costs. After all, every businessman thinks this way. But the most fundamental thing is to consider the food safety issues of consumers. How can a fried chicken restaurant with the highest sales volume on the takeout platform be a three-no product? Such a problem was exposed at the beginning of this year. How can consumers eat takeout with confidence?
Secondly, this incident also serves as a warning to each platform. When recruiting stores, they must ask the stores to obtain all the licenses and avoid a mixed bag of good and bad.
As consumers, the only thing we can do is try to avoid these Internet celebrity stores. Reduce the number of takeaways and try to cook your own meals. Since you can't let the outside world change, you can only change yourself. It is hoped that the platform and the Supervision Bureau can return legitimate rights and interests to consumers.
