(HBO) - In recent years, apart from focusing on teaching and learning, the management board of the Ly Tu Trong primary school in Hoa Binh city always pays attention to ensuring food safety. The work not only helps students have good health for studying but also creates confidence and peace of mind among parents who send their children to the school.
Cooks are preparing lunch for students of the Ly Tu
Trong primary school in Hoa Binh city.
We went to the Ly Tu Trong primary school in a
week-beginning day. The campus is very spacious, tidy, and clean. The kitchen has
been fully equipped, with well-arranged bowls and dishes and a dish dryer. The cooks
were hurriedly preparing lunch for pupils.
Dang Thi Thanh Hien, medical staff in charge of food
safety of the school, said the school has more than 1,000 pupils, with 930 of
them registering boarding services.
With such a large quantity, the assurance of food
safety must be top priority. The school’s management board contracted with five
units supplying chicken, rice, meat, vegetables and eggs. These units are
required to have business licences and food safety certificates. The school
regularly makes inspection tours to these food supply units.
Every day, the suppliers deliver goods to the school
at 6:00 am. The ingredients are checked carefully before cooking.
Most of the food sources is cleaned and soaked in salty
water by the kitchen division. The food samples are kept within 24 hours.
The kitchen is equipped with water purifiers, dish
dryer, one-way stoves, and hygienic water system. Kitchen utensils are cleaned
and sterilized before cooking. The school contracted with ten people who join training
courses on food safety organised by the Sub-department of Food Hygiene and Safety.
With strict control of food sources and cooking, no
food poisoning has been reported at the school so far.
Apart from ensuring food
hygiene and safety, the school also focuses on ensuring nutrition for pupils by
regularly changing dishes in accordance with the weather. Each meal, pupils have
three or four dishes with necessary nutrients and calories./.
