A few days ago, the "Xiao Minsheng" column of Xiaoshan Network reported many times about the wearing of masks in the catering industry.
Previously reported:I'm afraid!The Xiaoshan woman found ...... after entering the snack barDo you mind?
Buy services?Don't go out to eat?Xiaoshan netizens quarreled, what do you think of this matter?
How did Xiaoshan manage the situation?The reporter contacted the Xiaoshan District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.
The relevant staff said that according to the "National Food Safety Standard General Hygienic Specifications for Catering Services" 112.4. It is stipulated that employees in special rooms and special operation areas should wear clean masks when operating, and the masks should cover their mouths and noses.
The national food safety standards only require catering workers to wear masks in special rooms and special operation areas, which refer to the special operation rooms and special operation areas (usually cold dish rooms and decorating rooms) that require a high degree of cleanliness to process food for direct consumption in order to prevent food contamination, and there is no requirement to wear masks in other areas.
In addition, according to Article 16 of the Regulations on the Administration of Small Food Workshops, Small Restaurants, Small Grocery Stores and Food Vendors in Zhejiang Province, food production and operation personnel engaged in food production and operation in small restaurants (with a usable area of no more than 50 square meters in the business premises) who come into contact with food for direct consumption shall undergo health examinations in accordance with the regulations, hold valid health certificates, and wear masks in the process of food production, processing, production, food delivery, and sales.
Therefore, whether catering workers need to wear masks should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
At the same time, the Xiaoshan District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau will also helpDaily offline inspections, "Sunshine Kitchen" AI capture and other meansIn accordance with the above provisions, strengthen the supervision of the issue of standardized wearing of masks by catering employees in the jurisdiction.
Should "wearing masks" become a conscious part of the catering industry?
Can masks give food safety an extra line of protection?The answer is yes.
As a special industry, catering workers need to have direct contact with food and consumers, and if they are not careful, they may become the "transmitter" of germs, just like the saliva problem of waiters mentioned by two citizens in the previous interview - after wearing a mask, the transmission route of germs is blocked from the source, which can avoid the occurrence of this kind of situation.
In fact, wearing a mask is actually a protection for the safety of catering workers. The catering industry has a complex environment, including high personnel turnover, large kitchen smoke, and many ingredients that need to be processed.
Therefore, the wearing of masks by catering workers is not only responsible for food safety and giving consumers peace of mind, but also to reduce hidden dangers for public safety in the society.
To make wearing masks the "standard" of the catering industry, from the current point of view, it is indeed difficult to control and supervise, and it is still necessary to rely on business management and personal consciousness. But when everyone has this kind of "consciousness", can the business include this "consciousness" in the management, can it arouse the civilization consciousness of an industry, and can it better protect the "happiness on the tip of the tongue"?
Scientific wearing of masks is an effective measure for the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. From the SARS incident to the three-year epidemic to the current period of high incidence of respiratory diseases, the "sense of security" brought by masks has long been engraved into the "DNA" of citizens. Until now, when walking on the streets of the city and taking the subway and bus, you can still see many citizens wearing masks. This is the enhancement of citizens' self-protection and health awareness, and also the progress of urban civilization.
On December 9, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention issued a notice on the issuance of guidelines for the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases and the wearing of masks by the public (2023 edition), which regulates the situations or scenarios of wearing masks, recommended masks, and recommended not to wear masks, as well as mask selection and other precautions.
At this special juncture, we also call on everyone to wear masks according to their own conditions and be their own health "guardians".
