Beijing Shunyi District Market Supervision Bureau Wang Sitao

School food safety is related to the life, health and safety of young people, and has always been the focus of local governments at all levels, the public and the news media

Research situation

The 13 schools surveyed in this study are all school canteens that use custody services for meals, including 7 primary schools and 6 middle schools

In terms of system implementation, each school has established a food safety management system, but in the implementation, there is a lack of training, inspection, tracking, rectification and other measures, and professionals also lack relevant professional knowledge, so it is impossible to effectively implement and implement system requirements or standards.

In food processing and storage, the use of food additives in each school has not been found to be beyond the scope of use, but some canteens do not manage additives in accordance with the management requirements of food additives, and some of the additives used are not publicized

No food, food additives and homologous products of medicine and food were found in the canteen at the scene.

In terms of site layout and technological process, some canteens have deficiencies in the flow of people and logistics design.

In terms of equipment layout, the equipment and usage of facilities such as disinfection, changing clothes, washing, lighting, lighting, ventilation, anti-corrosion, dust-proof, fly-proof, rodent-proof, insect-proof, and washing facilities vary greatly among schools

In terms of personnel management, operators do not have adequate hygiene habits, wear exposed accessories, their hair is exposed outside the hair mask, the masks do not cover the mouth and nose, or there is no mask at all; some schools have damaged hand-washing facilities, and are not equipped with hand sanitizer and hand-drying facilities.

For the cleaning and disinfection of tableware, most schools use the double elimination method, but there are several problems.

Risk Analysis

Although there are corresponding legal and policy support, and various relevant departments have taken many measures, the current food safety of student canteens still faces potential food safety risks and hidden dangers.

　　The architectural planning of the canteen is unreasonable.

　　The school's internal supervision mechanism is not perfect.

　　There is a shortage of professional management personnel.

　　The quality of employees is low.

　　Insufficient supervision, departments at all levels have issued relevant guidance documents to strengthen the investigation and safety management of school food safety hazards.

Suggestions and Countermeasures

　　Implementing campus responsibilities Adhere to the working principle that the top leader is responsible for the overall responsibility, whoever is in charge is responsible, and whoever sponsors is who implements the work principle, urges the establishment of the "school food safety" organizational structure, formulates post and supervision systems, and improves the management responsibility system and accountability system at all levels.

　　Strengthen personnel management, establish a file of campus canteen employees and a medium-to-long-term talent training plan, and entrust a professional third party to conduct training, examinations, and spot checks on canteen managers and employees in batches and stages, so as to improve the ability to operate food safety standards on campus
.
The training content should include but not limited to: standardized operation, food procurement and storage, tableware disinfection, food safety self-inspection,
etc.

　　To form a long-term supervision mechanism, food safety supervision departments should actively carry out daily random inspections and inspections.
Industry competent departments and other relevant departments should strengthen coordination and cooperation to carry out irregular random inspections and inspections on the school meal process, and entrust industry experts to conduct on-site evaluation and centralized diagnosis.

　　Give full play to the professional strength of industry organizations to help food safety governance
.
Practice the model of industry organizations participating in food safety social co-governance, and try to discover and use competent and valuable industry associations to implement social co-governance
.
Relying on the supervision database built on the basis of the co-management inspection data, the campus canteens are fully controlled, and canteens with irregular behaviors are guided and regulated, and food safety risks are greatly reduced through pre-supervision
.
In addition, encourage third-party organizations to actively participate in food quality and safety monitoring, reduce the cost of food quality and safety supervision, and improve the credibility of food inspection and testing results
.

　　Promote social co-governance, explore "Internet + mutual assistance" smart supervision, expand supervision channels, and introduce multiple forces
.
The construction of "Sunshine Catering" has been fully completed, with remote real-time monitoring via video networking
.
Make full use of high-definition video surveillance, Internet of Things intelligent perception, mobile Internet, big data analysis and other technologies to achieve the whole process from warehousing to processing and production, and then to finished products, providing a set of visual and intelligent student food safety for multi-party supervision platform
