A prosecutor's check was carried out.
In the municipal kindergartens of Primorye, the prosecutor's office found expired products intended for children.
The city prosecutor's office of Spassk-Dalny checked the catering arrangements in local kindergartens. The results are not encouraging: epidemiological norms are not observed in 20 preschool institutions. In the food blocks of the violating kindergartens, the inspectors found expired products: butter, condensed milk, berry jelly, boiled sausage and others. The inspection also revealed a violation of the storage conditions for meat products, the lack of quality certificates for food intended for children. In total, employees of the department identified more than 100 such violations. Twenty-five officials will be punished for this under Article 6.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
In the capital of the region, Vladivostok, there are fewer such problems every year. Since 2015, the system of organizing children's meals has changed in the city's kindergartens: educational institutions were freed from direct work with food suppliers, this task was transferred to food factories. Companies independently purchase certified products, control the quality of meals and centrally serve several schools and kindergartens at once, which saves kindergartens from non-core issues and optimizes the costs of catering. The quality of the services provided is monitored by special commissions from employees of the education department, as well as public commissions created in all 120 kindergartens of the city.
Last year's inspection, headed by Vice-Mayor Natalya Maltseva, showed that the products supplied to the kindergarten food blocks are of sufficient quality, semi-finished products are not used in dishes. Meals in preschool institutions of the city are carried out according to an approximate ten-day cyclical menu, while taking into account the seasonality, the principle of a variety of dishes is observed. However, in some canteens, the understatement of the weight of meat, butter and some other products, as well as the lack of certificates for them, were revealed. In most establishments, they are satisfied with the services of the suppliers; the children interviewed reported that they were fed deliciously.
This year the mills have tried to eliminate all previously identified shortcomings. Over the past month, the inspection commissions visited 15 preschool institutions, as experts say - the nutrition process is organized in a normal manner. All emerging problems are promptly resolved by suppliers upon written request from the heads of institutions. It is noteworthy that already in many regions they refuse to organize meals by the educational institutions themselves and resort to the services of food factories. A similar system has been successfully implemented for many years in Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Volgograd, Ufa.
