"The food is here!" At 6 o'clock in the morning, as the delivery truck arrived at the school, the primary school campus of Jiaxing Economic Development Experimental Education Group ushered in a busy moment. The teacher on duty and the canteen staff unloaded the ingredients together, took them one by one to the smart scale to take photos and accepted them, and the relevant photos and data were uploaded in real time.

This is what a reporter saw recently when he was interviewing the effectiveness of “campus meal” rectification in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Campus food safety is directly related to the healthy growth of students and is a focus of public concern. The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues on Persistently Promoting Comprehensive and Strict Governance of the Party" reviewed and approved by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to "regularly rectify unhealthy tendencies and corruption issues around the masses, and deepen governance around issues in the fields of employment, pensions, social security, housing, education, medical care, agriculture, rural areas and farmers".

In the management of "campus meals", food distribution is an important part. In recent years, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in some regions of Zhejiang has worked with relevant departments to iteratively upgrade the "Campus Canteen Smart Supervision Platform", update intelligent monitoring equipment, and continue to promote "sunshine centralized distribution."

Nowadays, every delivery vehicle is equipped with a satellite positioning device, which can monitor running time, route trajectory, carriage temperature and humidity, etc. in real time. When the data deviates from the set standards, automatic warning is given. The entire process from food sorting and detection to packaging and transportation can be traced, effectively reducing the space for power rent-seeking and secret operations in canteen food procurement.

"There is pineapple rice in the cafeteria today, which is delicious." As the bell rang near noon, the children in the primary school campus of Jiaxing Jingkai Experimental Education Group rushed to the cafeteria excitedly. Parent Ms. Sun was the parent who accompanied the meal that day. She told reporters that the coverage of parent committees for meal supervision in primary and secondary schools (kindergartens) in Jiaxing is 100%. Committee members will come to schools every month to supervise. Parents can accompany meals, watch the kitchen, and provide opinions.

"All meal funds must be spent on children's plates." Xu Qiuping, vice principal of the primary school campus of Jiaxing Economic Development Experimental Education Group, said that the discipline inspection and supervision, education, market supervision, health, finance and public security departments at the city and county levels work together to carry out joint surveys and inspections on campus food safety and meal fund management every semester.

A meal is linked to the growth of children and thousands of families.

During the interview in Zhejiang, the reporter felt that the whole society regards the "small and important matter" of "campus meals" as a "major matter of people's livelihood".

In Jiaxing, five checkpoints have been set up around "safe meals" and "nutritious meals": procurement, processing, cleaning, sample retention, and finance. More than 110 systems related to "campus meals" have been established and improved at the city and county levels. Bulk ingredients are 100% open for bidding, and the ingredients are inspected by two people on site and weighed one by one to ensure that the ingredients are fresh, high-quality, and safe.

In Jinyun County, Lishui City, what gives parents peace of mind is a "data network": "Internet + bright kitchen and bright stove", "AI + off-site supervision" and "three-color early warning" are interlocking, and the supervision method has shifted from "investigation after the incident" to "control during the incident". The "Zhejiang Food Chain" in primary and secondary school canteens is 100% digitally traceable. The ins and outs of a basket of dishes can be checked by scanning the QR code.

On the "Integrity Hangzhou" digital intelligence supervision platform, the "campus meal" supervision and integrated system is displaying the operation status of each campus canteen in real time.

"This is equivalent to installing an 'alarm' for the entire chain and link of 'school meals.'" The relevant responsible comrades of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Hangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Committee in the Municipal Education Bureau said that the system has been connected to the business data of primary and secondary schools and kindergarten canteens in the city, and has set up 20 early warning indicators for the four links of bidding, procurement, goods receipt, and finance, and will automatically warn of abnormalities immediately.

Small dining table, great people's livelihood. The "Decision" proposes to "highlight key areas, key issues, and key objects, and deepen the rectification of corruption issues in areas where power is concentrated, funds are intensive, and resources are abundant." In Zhejiang, in the campus cafeteria scene, the practical results of public power big data supervision are benefiting more and more teachers and students.

"In the past, the children complained that the food in the canteen was not delicious, so we had to take them home for lunch every day, which was time-consuming and laborious." A parent said, "Now the dishes are richer and the taste has improved. It is much easier to order with a mobile phone and scan your face to pick up the meal."

"The management of 'campus meals' has achieved a transformation from 'human surveillance' to 'digital governance.'" The relevant person in charge of the Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that Zhejiang will continue to deepen the special rectification of "campus meals", comprehensively improve the standard management service level of "campus meals", and effectively protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of students.
