Ministry of Education: Holds a Prudent Attitude towards "Prefabricated Vegetables Entering Campus"
Recently, the topic of "pre made dishes entering campuses" in some places has received widespread attention from society. Recently, reporters interviewed officials from relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Education on "Prefabricated Vegetables on Campus".
According to the person in charge, school food safety and nutritional health are related to the healthy growth of students. The Ministry of Education has long worked with relevant departments to effectively implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, strictly implement laws and regulations such as the Food Safety Law, and have successively formulated and implemented institutional regulations such as the "Regulations on School Food Safety and Nutritional Health Management" and the "Guidelines for the Construction of Nutrition and Health Schools", continuously strengthening the management of school food safety and nutritional health.
Article 57 of the Food Safety Law stipulates that canteens of schools and other centralized dining units shall strictly comply with laws, regulations, and food safety standards; If ordering from a catering unit, the food should be ordered from an enterprise that has obtained a food production and operation license, and the ordered food should be inspected according to requirements. Dining units should strictly abide by laws, regulations, and food safety standards, process meals, and ensure food safety.
The person in charge pointed out that the Party and government attach great importance to school food safety and are very concerned about the healthy growth of students. Parents expect their children to eat in school that is both green, safe, and nutritious. After research, considering that there is currently no unified standard system, certification system, traceability system and other effective regulatory mechanisms for pre made dishes, a very cautious attitude should be taken towards "pre made dishes on campus" and should not be promoted on campus.
