Taipei City officially implemented a comprehensive free nutritious lunch policy for public and private primary and secondary schools this month. Unexpectedly, the package was released just a few days later. On the 7th, a suspected sour lunch incident occurred in Chengyuangao, Datong District, Central China, causing 87 students to have diarrhea, triggering criticism from the outside world. On the evening of the 8th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan spoke out in the community to put out the fire. It was found that this time it was rare that the central government was not involved, which unexpectedly triggered a discussion.
Jiang Wanan posted on Facebook at around 9 p.m. on the 8th, "Protecting food safety on campus has always been our top priority. In response to the diarrhea situation of many students in central China today, I immediately requested the city government team to actively intervene. The most important thing now is to take good care of the children's health, find out the cause as soon as possible, and let parents know the latest situation clearly. At present, the city government is working simultaneously from student health, inspection and investigation to meal supply and disposal. I also ask relevant bureaus to speed up and continue tracking."
"First, order to suspend operations and terminate the contract with the manufacturer. After receiving the notification, the Education Bureau and the Health Bureau immediately went to the school to supervise, inspect and submit samples for inspection. The Health Bureau has ordered the operators to suspend operations in accordance with the law. Today's inspection found 5 deficiencies and required improvements within a time limit, with a maximum fine of 200 million yuan. The Education Bureau requires the school to terminate the contract and replace the catering supplier. There is no room for compromise on children's food safety. Second , Accelerate the test confirmation, and the backup meal supply will not be interrupted. The hot food department has been completely cleared, and the backup provider will take over the lunch supply of the central government. It cannot affect the children's normal daily meals and classes. I require that the safety and hygiene of the substitute meals must be strictly controlled. At present, the lunch samples have been sent for inspection, and the epidemic investigation, verification, and related test specimens are also being carried out to find out the reasons as soon as possible. "
"Third, public health intervenes to track students' health. The city government has set up a provincial-level task force to track students' health and follow-up conditions, and provide necessary medical assistance and care immediately. The school has also completed student registration and conducted graded tracking, and continues to keep in touch with parents to understand the physical condition of each child and ensure that they are properly cared for. Fourth, expand sampling We will strengthen inspections and notifications, expand food safety inspections on campuses in Taipei City, and strengthen unwarranted hygiene inspections for primary and secondary school group meal operators and hot food departments in schools to comprehensively control everything from ingredients, environment to production processes. At the same time, we will re-examine ingredient procurement, acceptance, and process specifications, and strengthen the on-site inspection and reporting mechanism for abnormal situations to detect problems early and deal with risks immediately.”
Finally, Jiang Wanan said, "From the handling of this incident to the management of school meals in the city, I ask the city government team to take good care of every link so that children can eat with peace of mind and parents can rest assured."
Many people found that Jiang Wanan, who had always blamed the central government in the past, rarely mentioned the central government this time. They left messages such as "Don't you hold the central government responsible?", "It must be the central government's problem, Lai Qingde kicked the Communist Party! It means that your article does not talk about the central government, unlike you", "Who wrote the manuscript? It is so well written. The reporter will ask tomorrow Did you memorize this article when you read it?", "It's so rare that I didn't recommend it to the central government. I can give you a thumbs up." "Why didn't you ask the central government to legislate? You can't eat stinky sour food, and you can't eat food waste." "Who are you?" "You are acting weird today! Why don't you have Lai Qingde? I'm not used to it."
