Can the principal accompany the meal to ensure the food safety on campus?

As a parent of a child, I am more concerned about this problem. Let me answer this question.

In fact, the system of "principal accompanying meals" is not new. Previously, it has been implemented in some schools in some places. Schools broadcast live meals on campus through new media platforms, and parents can view them through mobile phones. The implementation of similar practices nationwide this time, from the original intention of management, is of course conducive to promoting campus food safety management, alleviating social anxiety and further strengthening the implementation of food safety work. However, although the system is good, it is necessary to prevent it from becoming a mere formality in concrete implementation, especially in the long-term implementation.

Judging from the implementation of the system, how to accompany the "principal to accompany the meal" and how to implement it is actually a difficult problem. All localities should, on the basis of the national regulations issued this time, seriously study and establish a scientific, perfect, easy-to-operate and verified implementation rules system to ensure that this method can be truly implemented.

From the management environment, in the process of accompanying meals, or in the process of sampling and tasting in advance, the relevant person in charge of the school controls the safety and quality of food, which varies from person to person and from place to place. In actual operation, there is also a lot of flexibility for "artificial control" and "operability", which makes it difficult to avoid some human factors and interest disputes, resulting in the effect of "accompanying meals" being discounted.

From the reality, because of the different nutritional needs of students and adults, it is unscientific and unrealistic for school leaders to "accompany meals" and eat students' meals regularly for a long time, so it is not easy to stick to it for a long time and really implement it. If the implementation is not effective, over time, it may inevitably become a mere formality in some places and even become a "show" behavior of some school leaders.

Therefore, the system of "principal accompanying meals" feels good at first glance, but it is actually a helpless move by education and other departments. To ensure school food safety, it is not enough to rely on the system of "principal accompanying meals". We must really grasp the source management and strengthen the process management on this basis, so as to fundamentally solve the problem.
