The "Rat Head Duck Neck" controversy in Nanchang is still ongoing, and another university cafeteria has had an accident.
On June 21st, in response to the online rumor that maggots were found in the grilled fish at Jiaozuo Teachers College cafeteria, the Market Supervision Administration of Shanyang District, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, issued a notice on Weibo @ Shanyang District Market Bureau, confirming that the situation was true. The restaurant in question is "Youth Food Agency" located at No. 6 stall of Shiyuan Restaurant, Jiaozuo Normal College. During the inspection of some stored ingredients on site, the investigation team found white bugs. At present, the "Youth Food Substitute" stall has been ordered to suspend operations for rectification, and a case has been filed for investigation and punishment.
What exactly the white bug is still needs investigation and confirmation, but obviously it should not appear on grilled fish, nor should it appear on any food ingredient.
White bugs were found on the grilled fish at the stall and the ingredients stored on site, indicating that not only were there problems with the ingredients, but also with the production process. This is grilled fish, not a cold dish. It needs to be cooked at high temperature for a long time. Surprisingly, moving insects can still be found when served, which is quite strange. How was this fish grilled? How can maggots be killed if they can't even kill them? Can this kind of grilled fish be eaten?
A fish with maggots may be cooked with seasoning to make it difficult for diners to eat, but the odor cannot be hidden. The maker is clear about it, so how could the cafeteria staff allow it to flow out? In their minds, which is the weight of food safety issues or the cost of throwing away a spoiled fish?
For the safety issues of school canteens, strict regulatory measures have been introduced in various regions, but why are these strict measures still unable to plug the loopholes and lead to a series of accidents? The recent food safety accidents have exposed many unreasonable aspects in the operation and supervision of school canteens. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the operation mode and regulatory mechanism of canteens to fill the gaps.
The school cafeteria has a public welfare nature and should not be designed for profit. All institutional designs should be aimed at achieving this goal. Some schools auction their contracted management rights, repeatedly setting high prices. It seems that the school has gained benefits, but in fact, it is the wool that comes from the sheep. Merchants will definitely find ways to earn back the money from the students. In this regard, a strong constraint mechanism is needed to prevent prices from diluting the foundation of public welfare. The support for high premiums must be high income, and the methods for operators to seek huge profits are imaginable. Similarly, when schools are tempted by high premiums, it also lays hidden dangers for future regulation. When the roles of both athletes and referees are unclear, there is a risk of conflicting interests, which must be prevented.
On the other hand, a series of food safety accidents have also shown that even the strictest measures need to be implemented by people, and they need to be gradually implemented, otherwise they may become mere formalities and become paper regulations hanging on the wall. Especially in places like school canteens, food safety supervision often becomes a "closed loop", making it difficult for external forces to intervene. If internal supervision fails again, a series of problems will arise.
From many cases, it can be seen that when external regulation intervenes, the situation often ferments, and this post supervision appears pale and powerless. In the controversy of "pointing out rats as ducks", the first thing that regulatory authorities think of is to whitewash and pass the buck, even willing to endorse the lawbreakers. How can such a regulatory attitude make lawbreakers feel wary and win the trust of the people.
To ensure regulatory integrity, accountability cannot be ambiguous. The two incidents of food safety in school canteens need to be thoroughly investigated from the source and system of the ingredients, with clear responsibilities, tracing the root cause, and making violators pay the price.
