Recently, a number of restaurants in Hefei were fined 5,000 yuan to sell cold cucumbers on Weibo, which caused discussion among netizens. Some netizens "shouted unjust" for the store, and felt that the fine of 5,000 yuan was too much for a small restaurant; some netizens supported the fine, thinking that this involved food safety issues, it was a hidden danger, and must be "stifled in the cradle."

Why is it fined for thousands of dollars? Is it wide or necessary?

Let's take a look at what these restaurants were punished for. According to Li Pei, deputy director of the Wanghu Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of the Hefei Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, there is no cold food food production and sale on the restaurant license of the restaurant, but he has dishes such as cucumbers on the takeaway platform.

At the same time, Li Pei also mentioned that the temperature in summer is high, and cold food foods are not like hot food. It has a high temperature heating process and is easy to breed bacteria, so there are strict requirements for processing process. The condition for the inspection of cold food food production and sale on site is that there is a special operating place, a special area, and then the tool blade and board are dedicated, and special personnel are operated.

It can be seen that this punishment is caused by the reason to ensure consumers' diet safety.

Why are cold dishes and cold foods focusing on? Perhaps the following old news can make everyone realize the importance of doing so.

In 2018, more than 280 teachers and students of domestic colleges and universities such as Peking University were poisoned at the Dihe International Hotel Guilin Emperor International Hotel. The local Food and Drug Administration reported that this was a food poisoning incident caused by the consumption of foods caused by Salmonella contaminated food. The hotel involved in the event of cold food foods.

The hotel, but a five -star hotel is not a small restaurant on the side of the road.

In fact, the food safety risks of cold dishes and cold food foods are very high. The well -known nutritional big V Cloud has no intention to describe cold dishes as "high -risk food". Especially in the summer and autumn, bacteria grow fast. At room temperature, it is easy to cause bacterial food poisoning.

After eating cold dishes in the restaurant, there are not a few people who have diarrhea, fever, and vomiting when they go home. Some severe bacterial infections will also be "terrible".

Therefore, the regulatory authorities have strict requirements for the sale of cold dishes and cold food in the restaurant.

The "Catering Food Safety Operation Specification (2018 Amendment)" requires that processing and production of raw food, decorating cakes, and cold food foods need to be carried out in the "special room". Preparation, fresh fruit and vegetable juice, fruit and vegetable platter, or only processed plant -based cold food foods; preparation of seasonings that consumers can eat directly for consumers can be carried out in the "specialized" or in the "area".

Senior Food Science Popularization expert Zhong Kai Fa Wen explained that if restaurants only make plant -based cold foods such as cucumber and peanut edama, at least a "area" should be opened in the kitchen. If you make cucumbers, you also make sauce beef, egg tofu, mixing sea ravioli and the like, then there is a special compartment (special room).

This is one of the most important measures that are emphasized in the "Five Points of Food Safety", which is one of the most important measures to avoid food -oriented diseases (diarrhea).

Imagine, just cut a large piece of raw beef's cutting boards and knives, with blood, and then used to cut cucumbers. Can you still eat it?

The cucumber was right. The wrong thing is the production process and the lack of food safety awareness. It may be too late to wait for something to be fined.

Since it is not safe to go to the restaurant to eat cold dishes, can it always be done at home?

Of course, but remembering an ultimate principle: now eat and do it, and cooked it!
