On the big stage of food safety, every small mistake can become a serious incident that touches the public's nerves. Recently, Jiangxi Zhongkuai logistics service has caused widespread social concern due to serious food safety problems in university canteens. This is not only an ordinary food safety incident, but also a serious blow to the good reputation of the entire catering industry.
In June 2023, a shocking "rat head duck neck" incident occurred at Jiangxi Industrial Vocational and Technical College. On June 1, student Zhan found a foreign object suspected to be a rat's head in a meal at the "Meika Xianglu" stall in the cafeteria. Subsequently, on June 8 and 13, some students found green worms and bed bugs at the "Gourmet Meike" and "Old Shanghai Wonton Shop" respectively. These incidents quickly spread on the Internet, causing widespread concern in society.
As the contractor of the school canteen, Jiangxi Zhongkuai Logistics Service has an unshirkable responsibility for the continuous food safety problems. After investigation, the company and those responsible were severely punished. The company was fined 100,000 yuan and confiscated illegal gains, the legal representative Zhu Moumou was fined 10 times last year's income, and the two responsible persons, Tao Moumou and Yi Moumou, were fined 8 times and 9 times last year's income respectively.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Netizens have expressed concern about the food safety of the canteen, and at the same time expressed support for the punishment of the relevant responsible persons. Some netizens commented: "This is not only a matter of food safety, but also related to the health of students." Businesses and individuals must be held accountable for their actions. Another netizen said: "Such a heavy penalty is a warning to other food operators, hoping to attract the attention of the entire industry." ”
The "rat head duck neck" incident is not just a simple food safety incident, it reveals the loopholes in the food safety management of the entire catering industry. Food safety is about everyone's health and life, and any negligence can cause irreparable consequences. This incident should serve as a wake-up call for the entire industry, reminding all catering businesses that they must strictly comply with food safety regulations to ensure the safety of consumers' diets. At the same time, consumers should also be made aware of the importance of food safety and enhance their awareness of self-protection. Only in this way can we build a safe and healthy food and beverage environment together.
