the issue of food safety on campuses has been receiving widespread attention for some time. against this background, there are still schools that distribute moldy bread to students? according to the beijing news, parents of primary and secondary school students in kunshan, jiangsu province reported that moldy bread appeared in the meals distributed to their children by the school on september 25.
in this regard, the kunshan municipal market supervision and administration bureau confirmed in a preliminary situation report sent to parents that at around 15:00 on september 25, a middle school discovered moldy bread during the distribution process, and other schools subsequently discovered it. similar situation.
on september 27, staff from the kunshan municipal education bureau responded to a reporter from the beijing news on this matter, saying that the education bureau had intervened on the day of the incident, and the school involved stopped supplying meals as soon as possible. the matter is still under investigation and handling. parents will be informed of the follow-up progress and arrangements. staff from the kunshan municipal market supervision and administration bureau said that an investigation has been launched and the city has also set up a special working group, and the results will be announced in a timely manner.
it is never a trivial matter for the bread distributed to students by schools to become moldy. just as netizens questioned: why are moldy bread allowed to enter the campus despite all the checks? the problems exposed in this need to be paid enough attention to. after all, campus meals are generally delivered on a large scale and involve many students. local officials have also conducted a preliminary investigation and confirmed that this situation occurred in more than one school, which shows the seriousness of the matter.
therefore, relevant local departments should adopt a responsible attitude and carefully investigate the problems: in this school meal supply chain, which link is the problem? what companies are involved? whether it was the manufacturer lizhong foods that had a problem during production, or the distribution unit hongsheng company made an oversight in the meal delivery process. we need to find out one by one and give an explanation to students, parents and society.
it is worth noting that trace food, the bread manufacturer involved, has also delivered food to many schools in suzhou. according to a reporter from the beijing news, the company has been accused of producing and operating food, food additives, and food-related products prohibited by the state. for such behaviors, he was punished by the local market regulatory authorities for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023.
this also requires that during the investigation and handling of this incident, the source of campus meal supply must be carefully examined. if there are any problems, the involved units must be dealt with seriously in accordance with laws and regulations, and the supplier must be replaced in a timely manner. at the same time, we will strengthen the construction of supply standards and process supervision, establish a more stringent and efficient supply chain review system, and eliminate unqualified suppliers from the campus meal supply chain.
in fact, when school meals are brought to campus and distributed to students, at least there are production suppliers, distributors, schools and teachers who handle them at all levels. if every step is taken seriously, moldy bread will not get into the hands of students.
to some extent, this actually reflects the possible flaws in the school’s food safety supervision system. therefore, schools and local education authorities also need to actively intervene. while cooperating with relevant investigations and handling, they should also promptly check for and fill in the gaps in their own management systems.
campus food safety is directly related to the health and safety of students, and ensuring the transparency of campus food distribution must also be done well. in addition to enterprises, schools and education authorities, introducing the supervision power of parents and society is undoubtedly an indispensable part of ensuring school food safety. in particular, parents must be fully involved in process management, and new technological means may be used to ensure that relevant information is disclosed to parents in a timely manner.
moldy bread actually entered the campus. this may be due to the negligence of suppliers and distributors, or it may be a loophole at the regulatory level. this requires combing the entire chain during the local follow-up investigation and handling process, clarifying responsibilities, and making the results public in a timely manner. at the same time, practical corrective measures and preventive mechanisms are also needed to truly keep moldy bread out of schools.
