In February of last year, at the Centers for Early Childhood Education in Matsue City, a 4-year-old boy died of Setsubun beans in his throat. It turned out that I put together a report that says.
The Consumer Affairs Agency has raised the age of calling for people not to eat beans in the wake of an accident, and the report states that "whenever you do sowing beans or making rice cakes, you need to assign staff to watch over the safety of your children." I am proposing.
Last February, when I was attending a Setsubun event at the Centers for Early Childhood Education in Matsue City, a 4-year-old boy died of beans stuck in his throat.
According to an interview with the people concerned, the city's verification committee, which is made up of experts who have been considering measures to prevent recurrence, has recently compiled a report.
According to this, although the facility did not allow infants under the age of 3 to eat beans, other kindergarten children were eating beans and sowing beans, saying, "There is a risk of mistakes even if you are over 3 years old. There was a lack of awareness that there was. "
On top of that, to prevent recurrence,
all staff members should share knowledge not only
about
beans, but also ingredients with a high risk of mistakes such as grapes, cherry tomatoes, and rice cakes, and how to
eat. It is recommended that staff members be assigned to watch over the safety of children whenever childcare is provided.
The committee plans to submit a report to Matsue City next month.
In response to this accident, the Consumer Affairs Agency raised the age of calling "Don't feed beans" from "around 3 years old" to "5 years old or younger", and even bean confectionery makers have specified product precautions. There is a movement to change the description.
