Xinhua Comment: No guarantee of safety for meals

Recently, some students in Ding La Primary School under the jurisdiction of Tangfang Township School, Zhenxiong County, Yunnan Province, suffered from physical discomfort after meals and caused widespread public concern. Relevant person in charge did not implement relevant regulations in the supply of nutritious meals, the system was not perfect, supervision was not effective, and the incident occurred. The Zhenxiong County Commission for Discipline Inspection has decided to impose sanctions on the principals of Tangfang Township Center School and the president of Lading Elementary School. (People's Daily, April 16)

From the Guizhou Zhijin Nutrient Meal Incident to Napo County in Guangxi, “3 yuan nutritional supplement was arbitrage by the supplier 1 yuan”, and then to Yunnan this incident, there have been 3 episodes of nutritional meals. This means that some places take nutritious food money as "Tang Yao meat," and irresponsible practices harm the child's health. Based on this, it is necessary for Zhenxiong County of Yunnan Province to hold up and take charge of Li Jian and investigate the main responsible person.

However, from the results of this incident handling, the author believes that the simple administrative treatment not only lacks strength but also has the suspicion of “three cups of fines”. First, from the perspective of the person responsible for handling the case, most of it is administrative Administrative sanctions such as overdone, ignorant talks, etc. Only one principal of the principal is dismissed from the administration, and no one is subject to criminal penalties. The penalties are too small. Second, most of the dismissed officers are deputy-level cadres. This also requires the local authorities to make further explanations.

The above signs show the reality of weak accountability. In the case of student poisoning in Tangfang Township, Zhenxiong County, there was no “Food Service License” or “Food Hygiene License” at the local top school canteens and operators. What must be asked about this is: Even if the basic qualifications are not available, why can you successfully contract the canteen? What is the use of nutritious food in the school? Are there any unpleasant tricks such as embezzlement and misappropriation? To solve these mysteries, we must also go through the judicial process, and we must not be limited to the "three cups of fines" type of administrative punishment.

As the saying goes, it is necessary to use heavy code to deal with chaos. The law is a tool to safeguard national interests and civil rights. Any act that undermines the nutritional improvement plans of rural students should be punished by the judiciary if it violates the bottom line of the law. In particular, the person responsible for the illegal act must not only remove the “cap” on his head, but also must be investigated for criminal responsibility if the circumstances are serious.
