Contaminated food supply for Binh Duong school detected
BINH DUONG (VNS) - Authorities have
requested the Long Binh primary school to suspend provision of lunch to its
students following suspicions that contaminated food was being supplied to
the school canteen.
Announcing this, Deputy Head of Bau Bang District's
education and training department Nguyen Tuan Tu said that the case was being
investigated.
Other schools that provide lunch to students are
also being instructed to inspect their food supplies and processing methods,
he added.
As many as five schools in the district have
signed contracts with Nhat Phu Hao Ltd, a company specialising in food
delivery.
Nhat Phu Hao Ltd's head office is in Binh Duong
Province's Tan Uyen Township, but it leases the Long Binh primary school
canteen for the cooking of food.
The primary school has 774 pupils, of which 650
have registered for the lunch at school.
The contaminated food was identified to be 72kg
of spoiled fish and 12kg of spoiled meat.
The food was intercepted while it was being
transported to the Long Binh primary school canteen on Thursday, when
students' parents detected a foul odour. Then they asked the relevant
authorities to prepare a report for further investigation of the case.
An inspection team from the district's
authorities tested and sealed off the suspected food, and then later
destroyed it.
The company that supplied food to Nhat Phu Hao
Ltd said that the meat and fish were spoiled as they had been transported
over a long distance.
However, the parents of the students in the
primary school rejected the explanation.
On Tuesday morning, the Long Binh primary
school's management board spoke to the parents for restarting the lunch for
students, but the talks failed due to parents' objections. They oppose the
serving of lunch to students till the school management board clarifies who
was to be blame for the supply of contaminated food. - VNS
