After a week of having to temporarily stop eating at school so that the school and parents could find a new meal provider, at noon on November 6, the students of this school were all happy to be able to enjoy their meals at school with their friends.

Each meal costs 28,000 VND and includes white rice, braised pork and egg, cabbage soup with minced pork, stir-fried vegetables, and banana for dessert. The parents representing the parents of the students of the whole school were also present at noon today, observing the process of the meals being transported, dividing the rice to the students, checking the food, and keeping food samples. Afterwards, the representatives of the parents of the students also ate the same meals as the students to feel and evaluate together.

Today's lunch menu includes rice, braised pork and eggs, minced pork and cabbage soup, stir-fried vegetables, and banana for dessert.

Students rated the food as delicious and said they were full.

Mr. Le Duc Trung, deputy representative of the parents of Long Thanh My Primary School, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, who tried the lunch at the boarding school this afternoon, said that during the time the school had to temporarily stop serving lunch to students to find a new meal provider, parents had to work harder to arrange work and pick up their children. Many parents had to take a few days off work to pick up their children on time for school.

"Today, the students are allowed to eat lunch again, the parent representative committee sent 3 people to check how the children eat, how the food is brought. We assessed that the food is still hot, the children praised it as delicious, and suitable to their taste. Before that, the parents and the school had chosen to find a food supplier, had to go to the food supplier's facility, see how they imported food, how they processed it, how they transported the food to school for the children... Therefore, we were assured about the children's lunch," Mr. Duc Trung added.

Sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper reporter, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuoc, Principal of Long Thanh My Primary School, said that the school has more than 1,100 students, of which more than 600 are boarding students. In order to quickly find a new meal supplier for the school, so that students can study with peace of mind and parents can work with peace of mind, Ms. Phuoc said that the school has coordinated with parents to find, select and research profiles from many boarding meal suppliers.

Parents feel more secure when they participate in choosing the meal provider, checking and trying the students' lunch meals together.

In addition to studying the company's legal documents, parents and schools also visit the company that provides meals to see how they import food, how they prepare and process it, whether the kitchen is one-way, how the boarding meals are transported to the school to ensure food hygiene and safety, keeping the rice hot and of good quality, etc., before deciding to choose a supplier.

"The school has a new food distribution room at the school. We ensure that when food is brought to the school, it will be put into the food distribution room, following the correct steps and procedures. Today, I went around to ask the children how they rated the rice. The children praised the rice and food as delicious, and the parents were satisfied. We also sent a video clip about the process of making the lunch meal that the children ate at school today to all the parents in the school so that everyone can feel secure," said Ms. Thanh Phuoc.

Ms. Thanh Phuoc also said that in the coming time, the school will not be subjective but will continue to inspect and supervise the facilities providing meals for boarding students. The school will still maintain an inspection and supervision board with school representatives and parents' representatives to conduct periodic and surprise inspections to ensure that meals for boarding students always ensure nutrition and food safety.

From today, 6 schools in Thu Duc City have allowed students to have lunch again after a period of interruption.
