Beware, fake! The quality and safety of school meals were discussed in Voronezh Posting in CHAT: Russia On Thursday, December 14, a round table was held at the Public Chamber of the Voronezh Region on the quality and safety of school meals in schools in the region. The event marked the beginning of a regional public movement in defense of consumer rights, “Quality of Our Life.” The round table was attended by heads of regional and city structures and public organizations. Experts explained how and why low-quality products end up in schools. “There are not enough Voronezh products in schools” The round table was moderated by the founder and director of the ANO “Youth Institute of Social Programs”, an expert on education issues. with the governor and president of the Committee on Education and Youth Policy of the Public Chamber, Natalya Kirechenkova from the Voronezh region. She recalled that the Public Chamber has been actively monitoring the situation with hot meals in schools and children's camps in the Voronezh region for three years. years years In addition, large-scale comprehensive monitoring of the state of environmental comfort in schools in the region has begun. We are talking not only about nutrition, but also about the condition of school toilets and roads leading to school. Chairman of the Council of the Voronezh region branch of the all-Russian movement “Consumer Union of Russia” and executive director of the “Quality of Our Life” Movement Nikolao Degtyarev added that there are already many For years, he and volunteers have been monitoring the situation with school meals, visiting schools and personally meeting with principals. The quality of the dishes. But there are many questions about the delivery of products to schools. Most of the products supplied to schools in the region come from other regions. Vegetables (potatoes, cabbage, carrots), which are in abundance in our region, are often bought in Uglich, on Altai, the Caucasus and Belarus. Where are our Voronezh products? If suppliers do not deliver products on time, we will leave children without food,” said Nikolai Degtyarev. The contract system and its shortcomings Nikolai Degtyarev explained that the products of Voronezh manufacturers do not end up in school canteens because of the state. procurement system, which is regulated by Law No. 44-FZ “On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs.” The school, as a client, announces a competition in which suppliers apply. Under the contract system, the supplier who offers products at a lower price wins. And here, Nikolai Degtyarev noted, there is a great danger that school canteens will be supplied with low-quality products. “We buy the cheapest things for children.” This is a crime against children, Nikolai Mikhailovich noted, Nikolai Mikhailovich was indignant about the amount intended for feeding primary classes - 74 rubles a day. In his opinion, this amount is not enough for a balanced and nutritious diet for children. In other regions, this amount is much higher - 100-120 rubles per day. Nikolao Degtyarev was also supported by the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Voronezh Region and a member of the regional commission for combating illicit trafficking in industrial goods. products. Nikolay Shchipelev. The chamber has been reviewing school nutrition offerings for two years, he said. Analysis shows that prices at electronic auctions for food products are reduced by 60% from the initial price. – And on average, many food items are purchased for less than 50% of the average market price. That is, you understand perfectly well that if sausages were bought for 60 rubles per kg, then they are clearly not meat - there is no meat at that price,” noted Nikolai Shchipelev. What do our children eat? Another problem that Nikolai Degtyarev solves. “The problem is that unscrupulous suppliers often send counterfeit products to schools. At the same time, educational institutions do not have a HACCP system, which is designed to identify, analyze and control food production.” Expert, the automated system “Mercury” cannot stop the flow of counterfeit products into schools (with its help, Rosselkhoznadzor controls the quality of livestock products and tracks their path from farm to counter). According to Nikolai Mikhailovich, responsibility for the supply still lies with her. products for schools are not assigned to any department in the region. – It is necessary to develop a system for supplying schools with nutrients and ensure high quality of nutrients supplied to school canteens. This is one of the points of the food safety doctrine, Nikolai Degtyarev emphasized. According to the expert, their expertise can help prevent counterfeit products from entering schools. But in reality, no one is taking this exam. Many people confuse inspection with acceptance of goods. When you take it, you can smell and taste the product, but you can only find out the composition of the product and whether it contains bacteria in a laboratory. – It is necessary to involve expert organizations with laboratories. A modern laboratory base in the region is enough to stop this mess with the supply of low-quality products to schools, said Nikolai Shchipelev. The expert said that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Voronezh Region has its own accredited laboratory that deals with food. In addition, inspection bodies are accredited by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry . – We were contacted by two districts of the Voronezh region, in whose schools we carried out inspections. Our laboratory conducted 17 examinations, ten of which revealed fakes. Can you imagine what our children eat? There should be no adulteration in children's nutrition! – Nikolai Shchipelev emphasized. He also explained that a counterfeit can be checked in a laboratory by comparing GOST or technical conditions specified in the contract for the supply of products with the laboratory’s conclusion. “We are not allowed into schools” Yutta Kardash, head of the department of state veterinary control and supervision of the Voronezh region of the Rosselkhoznadzor department for the Voronezh, Belgorod and Lipetsk regions, said that the department has been examining food products for schools for several years, and it does it for free " At the same time, we ask the school management to allow us to take tests. But they don't let us in. In 2022, we were not able to enroll in any school in Voronezh. Before one of our visits, all the food was removed from one school and new ones were brought in. We took a high-quality product for research,” noted Jutta Kardash. She also said that every three months the regional ministries of education, social protection and health receive instructions on cooperation with Rosselkhoznadzor. But officials are afraid to contact the inspection organization. The Mercury system helps Rosselkhoznadzor employees receive information about counterfeit products. The agency also receives signals about unscrupulous suppliers and suspicious raw materials from the “Quality of Our Life” movement - When we contact the institution, reporting that the school has products from a suspicious manufacturer, and we go there to take samples, it turns out, we discover that these products are not available. Or we cannot take samples because there is no declaration for the products. People who accept it believe that because the supplier brought the goods, that means all the documents are It is there. If the school had initially requested an extract, the supplier would have understood that there was control. He would have understood that he should not supply counterfeit goods. This is a very big problem that needs to be solved,” explained Jutta Kardas. What representatives of the education sector say. Representatives of the Ministry of Education of the Voronezh Region were also present at the round table. Lyubov Beloglazova, head of control The nutrition department of the educational institution of the Voronezh region reported that 68% of schools in the region independently solve nutrition problems, 32% - with the participation of third organizations. According to Lyubov Beloglazova, control of school nutrition by executive authorities, control authorities and with the help of parental control. - The regional government has created an interdepartmental commission to organize hot meals for schoolchildren. Representatives of the Ministry of Education, Rospotrebnadzor, Rosselkhoznadzor, and the Ministry of Agriculture are participating in it. Interaction of all departments Coordinates the commission on illegal trafficking in industrial products, which is headed by the governor. The commission checks information about low-quality products, exchanges information about unscrupulous suppliers,” noted Lyubov Beloglazova. She also said that, as part of scheduled and unscheduled inspections in schools, laboratory tests of products supplied to schools are systematically carried out. “In the first half of 2023, the Rospotrebnadzor department took 892 samples, three of them were positive. The Rosselkhoznadzor department took 32 samples, seven of them turned out to be positive, said Lyubov Beloglazova. According to her, if there are low ones, “Quality products in schools are replaced. The educational institution also carries out advertising work with suppliers of low-quality products. “During the 2022–2023 academic year, 30 educational organizations sent 70 claims to product suppliers,” added Lyubov Beloglazova. In 2023, organic products began to arrive in schools in Voronezh. From April to May, two schools in Voronezh received unleavened organic bread “Longevity”. From September 1, 21 schools from eight municipal districts of the region receive environmental products. Now there are organically grown vegetables and fruits.
