Three major problems
Nutrition Improvement Program covers a wide range of areas and involves a lot of links, starting from the most difficult areas, the basic conditions are relatively poor, the local management capacity is relatively weak, there is no precedent to follow, there are still some difficulties and problems. First, the problem of standardized management. Individual local bidding is not in place, the quality of food materials can not be guaranteed; funds management is not strict, misappropriation, misrepresentation of the number of people to obtain subsidies occasionally occur; the implementation of the standard is not strict, the content of a single meal, affecting the effect of nutritional improvement. Second, food safety issues. The Nutrition Improvement Program has a long food procurement chain, many links, and limited food safety supervisors at the county level. Some pilot areas have not included operating funds in the financial budget to protect, can not be in accordance with the standard staffing of the workforce, the mobility of temporary staff, the lack of professional nutrition and dietary knowledge, but also to the food safety to bring greater potential risks. Third, the burden on teachers has increased.

Further improve the regulatory system, strengthen supervision and inspection, increase accountability, and promote the local schools to guard the ground, guard the ground responsibility, to ensure that students? Safety on the tip of the tongue. Continue to consolidate and improve the effectiveness of food and financial security, and ensure that the national nutritional dietary supplement? every penny goes into the mouths of students? The government is also working to prevent major food safety accidents, and to guard food safety. Red Line and capital safety. The first is to make sure that you are not a victim of the same kind of abuse as the others.
(C) the establishment of responsibility for the implementation of long-term mechanism.
