Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, 2 months after the mass food poisoning of the nutritious lunch at Chengyuan High School, finally went to the school on November 6 to pay attention to the meal supply situation after the nutritious lunch was re-tendered. However, Taipei City Councilor Chen Yijun recently received a complaint from parents of Chengyuan High School, saying that their children complained that the nutritious lunch portion was not enough, so they went to the deli department to buy iron plate noodles to satisfy their hunger, but found that some of the noodles were light green and did not dare to eat them at all. After an "unexpected" inspection of the school lunch, Jiang Wanan was only perfunctory to "give two more bites of rice", which is treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
The school stated that due to the previous food safety incident, the contract with the previous manufacturer was terminated. The new manufacturer will provide meals on the first day on November 2. The food intake of the students has not yet been determined. From the 3rd, the food intake has been increased and spare white rice has been provided. No further reports of insufficient food intake have been received; Iron The green mark on the board was caused by the manufacturer using a marker pen to mark items on the lid of the paper lunch box. It was caused by the heat of the meal causing the pen and ink pigment to penetrate into the container. It was not because the food had become moldy or spoiled. On the same day, the manufacturer was assessed 5 points and fined NT$10,000 as agreed.
Chen Yijun pointed out that the incident happened on November 2. There was not much nutritious lunch that day, and the students went to the deli department to buy teppanyaki noodles for takeout. Unexpectedly, after opening the take-out lunch box, I found that some of the noodles had a light green color. I didn't know whether they were moldy, rotten, or contaminated with foreign matter. I didn't dare to eat them, so I returned them to the deli and continued class hungry. What is frustrating is that after the students returned the meal, the deli department did not take the initiative to care about the reason for the return or the suspected abnormality of the food. Even the parents later complained to the city government through the 1999 citizen hotline, and the city government and the Education Bureau did not send personnel to pay attention to the batch of suspicious cooked food.
She said that Jiang Wanan made a "surprise inspection" to the campus on the 6th. Parents reported that the nutritious lunches after the inspection had "an extra piece of rice", and the menu and food quality had not changed. The city government has no determination to learn from the experience of school food safety and school children's development issues; the city government completely lacks standard operating procedures (SOPs) for meals that students have reported concerns about.
The Education Bureau stated that parents reported insufficient portions of nutritious lunches for elementary and middle schools and lunch boxes for senior high schools. The school explained that the contract with the previous manufacturer was terminated due to a previous food safety incident. A new manufacturer, "Judeng", won the bid and provided meals on the first day on November 2. The students' food intake was not yet known. After receiving the feedback that afternoon, the school immediately requested adjustments. The manufacturer has increased the food quantity and provided spare white rice since the next day (November 3). No further reports of insufficient food intake have been received.
The school stated that after verification, green marks appeared on the iron plate meals that day. The manufacturer used a marker pen to mark the items on the lid of the paper lunch box. The heat of the meal caused the pen and ink pigment to penetrate into the container. It was confirmed that the food itself was not moldy or spoiled. After receiving feedback on the same day, a review meeting was held in the afternoon, and the manufacturer was promptly and strictly assessed 5 points and a fine of 10,000 yuan as agreed. It also strictly required that qualified stickers be used to mark items from now on, the use of markers for lunch box marking was prohibited, and refunds and compensation were fully provided to the affected students.
The manufacturer also issued a statement saying that it was very sorry for failing to properly control the meals and betraying the trust of students and parents. It would cooperate with the school to care for the affected students and properly handle the follow-up matters.
