On the 23rd, Taipei City Councilor Jian Shupei of the Democratic Progressive Party broke the news about the food safety issues of Jinhua Junior High School in Da'an District. Mayor Chiang Wanan went to Jinhua Junior High School during lunch time this afternoon for an inspection. He pointed out that the school has a complete communication and feedback mechanism from menu design to actual meal service, and uses instruments to test the saltiness. However, what is puzzling is that while the outside world questioned the freshness of ingredients such as rolls, Chiang went to test the saltiness of the food. "What does this have to do with what everyone is asking now?"

Jiang Wanan inspected Jinhua Junior High School at noon. After the meeting, he expressed his gratitude to the principal, teachers, chefs, parent volunteers and children who have been under a lot of pressure during this period. He also said that the school’s nutritious lunches have a complete communication and feedback mechanism from menu design to actual meal delivery. In addition to regular monthly meetings, each time the menu is discussed, the dishes, nutrition, children's acceptability and areas that need adjustment will be reviewed item by item.

The city government said that parent-teacher conferences usually have real-time working groups. After the actual meals are provided every day, whether the children have eaten well, whether the portions are sufficient, and which dishes need to be adjusted will be immediately reported to the group catering operators. It also provides a picture of Jiang Wanan's operation of the instrument to test the saltiness.

After the news came out, it sparked heated discussions on the Internet. People questioned that the students felt unwell after eating the nutritious lunch and wanted to know whether the ingredients were not fresh. However, Jiang Wanan went to test the saltiness of the food. "Is the problem with the broken rolls too salty?" "Is the current food safety issue about whether it is salty or not?" "What does this have to do with what everyone is asking now?"
