Những ngày qua, việc một đơn vị cung cấp thực phẩm nghi sử dụng thịt hết hạn đưa vào bếp ăn trường học đã khiến nhiều phụ huynh lo lắng.
Chị Nguyễn Thị Hoa - phụ huynh học sinh Trường Tiểu học Nguyễn Văn Hưởng (phường Phú Thuận) - cho biết, trước đây, chị hoàn toàn yên tâm cho con ăn bán trú. Tuy nhiên, sau khi đọc thông tin trên mạng xã hội và báo chí, chị bắt đầu lo lắng.
"Không ai muốn con mình ăn phải thực phẩm không đảm bảo. Nghe tin mà rùng mình, mấy hôm nay cứ thấp thỏm không biết bữa ăn của con có an toàn không", chị Hoa nói.
According to Ms. Hoa, although taking her child home for lunch will be hard and take more time, she still decided to let her child temporarily stop boarding until the end of the school year. "It is necessary to do so to ensure her child's health," Ms. Hoa shared.
Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh - a parent of a student at Tan Quy Elementary School (Tan Hung ward) - said that she used to have great faith in the school's semi-boarding meals. However, after following the reflected information, she could not hide her frustration.
"Con tôi nói không muốn ăn ở trường nữa. Nghe vậy, tôi cũng rất lo và giận", chị Thanh nói.
In the opposite direction, many parents fell into difficulty when the school temporarily stopped organizing semi-boarding.
Mr. Tran Van Manh (Phu Thuan ward) said that in recent days, he and his wife have had to wake up early to prepare lunch for their children.
Both husband and wife go to work from morning to afternoon, there is no one to pick up and drop off the children. I know I'm worried, but if I don't feed my children semi-boarding, I don't know where to send them," Mr. Manh said.
Previously, on January 28, An Phuoc Thang SG Trading Co., Ltd. (Sago Food) - a unit providing meals for many schools in Ho Chi Minh City - was reflected on suspicion of using expired meat and substandard food in processing meals for students, causing much concern in public opinion.
Ngay sau phản ánh, các trường đang sử dụng suất ăn do đơn vị này cung cấp đã tạm dừng tổ chức bán trú để chờ kết luận của cơ quan chức năng. Trong thời gian này, phụ huynh phải mang cơm hoặc đón con về ăn trưa.
A quick report from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety sent to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on the inspection results at An Phuoc Thang SG Trading Co., Ltd. (Sago Food) said that this company currently provides meals for 12 schools in Ho Chi Minh City, a quantity of 9,300 meals/day.
At the time of inspection (January 28), the company was cleaning the facility and washing utensils for serving meals.
The delegation inspected goods being stored at the warehouse. Among the raw materials were 371 kg of livestock and poultry meat, including: 51 kg of frozen pork ribs; 200 kg of frozen chicken skin; 120 kg of frozen lean chicken breast without skin, contained in nylon bags, without labels, production dates, and expiration dates.
