A child who eats less is afraid of being hungry, and a child who eats too much is afraid of becoming chubby... It's so difficult to be a parent!
Fortunately, parents will be able to grasp the nutritious meals on campus in the future by looking at their mobile phones.
According to the requirements of the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Health Regulations" implemented this year, "Shenzhen's health and health departments should work with market supervision, education and other departments to formulate nutritional meal standards for students, infants and young children."
A few days ago, the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission, the Municipal Education Bureau, and the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau issued the "Shenzhen Implementation Plan for Standardizing the Production and Distribution of Nutritional Meals for Students" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan"). From this year, Shenzhen will be piloted in various districts. Nutrition and health canteens, and realize "intelligent monitoring" through the information platform of catering for primary and middle school students, to ensure the nutrition and health of every student.
Pilot nutrition and health canteen
Overweight and obese students can eat "customized nutritious meal"
Children and adolescents are at a critical stage of growth and development. Reasonable and adequate nutrition is the material guarantee for the normal development of students' body and intelligence, and even their lifelong health.
With the rapid development of social economy, the living standards of children and adolescents in Shenzhen have been greatly improved. However, nutritional and health problems such as malnutrition, overweight and obesity are also very prominent.
The health examination results of nearly 1.4 million primary and middle school students in Shenzhen in the 2018-2019 school year showed that the malnutrition rate was 9.74%, the overweight rate was 12.31%, the obesity rate was 8.42%, and the anemia rate was 3.23%. Health problems closely related to nutrition have been It has become a major health problem for primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen and needs urgent improvement.
In the face of such a situation, the "Implementation Plan" also provides a solution. Starting this year, Shenzhen will launch a pilot program to set up nutritious and healthy canteens to allow students to eat healthier.
It is reported that, according to the requirements of the "Implementation Plan", the food served in each meal of the nutrition and health canteen should include three or more of the four types of food including cereals and potatoes, vegetables and fruits, fish, poultry, meat and eggs, milk beans and nuts.
Milk products such as pure milk and low-sugar yogurt are provided, and milk beverages are not allowed.
In addition, canteens should also implement measures to reduce salt, oil, and sugar, and regularly publicize the amount of salt, oil, and sugar used and the average daily or meal intake per capita.
Gradually achieve the limit of daily salt intake per person not higher than 5 grams, edible oil intake not higher than 25-30 grams, and added sugar intake not higher than 25 grams.
In the cafeteria, high-oil, high-fat and high-sugar foods such as potato chips, French fries, cakes, spicy bars, and sugary drinks (milk tea, fruit juice, carbonated drinks, milk-containing drinks, etc.) are not allowed to be sold.
It is worth noting that the nutrition and health cafeteria should also cooperate with schools and professional departments to formulate student nutrition improvement plans for students with nutrition-related diseases such as overweight, obesity, malnutrition, anemia, etc., and provide personalized nutritional meals for students with different needs, and set Special recipes provide overweight and obese students with nutritious meals with reasonable energy supply, and selectively provide special themed recipes for students to choose from, such as promoting growth and development, protecting eyesight, and improving anemia.
Student meals have "intelligent supervisors"
The catering information platform "rates
" the
recipe
On the one hand, standardizing nutritious meals, on the other hand, in the face of the fact that most catering companies and school canteens do not have full-time nutritionists and the level of nutritionists is uneven, the "Implementation Plan" also requires that future practitioners must "certify to work." .
"We visited and found that even if there are nutritionists in school canteens and catering companies, due to the large amount of meals, dietitians are inefficient in calculating the nutritional content of meals, which has also led to nutritional catering becoming a burden. In addition, nutrition knowledge of student meal practitioners The awareness rate is generally low. In addition to nutritional problems, heavy oil salt is also a prominent problem in student meals." said Xiong Jingfan, director of the Obesity and Metabolic Disease Prevention and Control Section of Shenzhen Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Center.
In order to better help schools and enterprises to ensure that students eat nutritiously, and to increase the awareness of nutrition knowledge among employees, Shenzhen has also developed a catering information platform for primary and secondary school students.
"This platform can realize the functions of supervision, nutritional catering, diet evaluation, and guidance and training. The system can automatically calculate the nutritional content of each meal, and can also supervise whether the student’s meals are reduced in salt, sugar, and oil. In addition, parents can also check through the system. Children's school meal recipes and nutrient analysis can also obtain guidance for family balanced meal catering." Xiong Jingfan said that the system can intelligently score the recipes developed by various canteens and catering companies based on the principle of nutritional balance, and provide them based on the scoring results. Proposed changes.
At the same time, the system will also establish a public recipe library to provide nutritious meal recipe sharing for some small and medium-sized catering companies.
In addition to paying attention to children's nutrition, online training for practitioners can also be realized on the platform.
According to the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Health Regulations", "Student meal distribution companies, primary and secondary schools, pre-school education institutions, and infant care service institutions canteens should be equipped with nutrition staff in accordance with regulations and provide food that meets the standards for nutritional meals for students and infants."
To this end, the Municipal Health Commission took the lead in developing the first phase of the training course on nutrition and health for practitioners. Newly recruited employees from each unit must complete online training and obtain a certificate before they can start. For those who have not obtained a certificate, The training courses should be re-studied until the assessment is passed.
Parental participation in supervision
Regularly announce to the society whether the child is eating well
In addition to seeing what the child eats, whether the student is eating well at school, parents also have a say.
According to the "Implementation Plan", Shenzhen will also establish a supervision system for the family committee to participate in the distribution of student meals.
The Family Committee designated health committee members to participate in student nutrition and food safety knowledge and skills training as required, and participate in the selection and supervision of school canteens and catering companies in accordance with school work arrangements, through open days, catering, and dialogue and exchanges, and assist in the selection and supervision of school canteens and catering companies. Complete student meal supervision and monitoring tasks.
In terms of specific implementation, each class of the school elects one to two family committees to serve as healthy family committees to form a school-level healthy family committee.
Since you are a healthy family member, you must also understand health. After you become a healthy family member, you should learn and master students’ nutrition and health knowledge, understand the balanced diet and the nutritional value of various foods, develop good eating habits, and regularly Parents of other students conduct publicity and education.
At the same time, we should also assist schools to strengthen the monitoring, evaluation and intervention of undernutrition, overweight and obesity of students.
At the same time, the Healthy Family Committee should regularly inspect the food safety management of school canteens or catering companies, including food safety supervision and inspection of school canteens and food safety supervision and inspection of student meal distribution companies.
In the inspection, Shenzhen also combines professionalism and operability to set inspection indicators for parents to facilitate parents to score student meals.
In addition to checking student meals, parents should also pay special attention to "reducing salt, sugar and oil", and strictly restrict the supply of high-salt, high-sugar and high-oil vegetables and food.
If there is a small shop in the canteen or school, it is also necessary to check whether the sale of alcoholic beverages is illegal, and whether the health reminder signs of carbonated beverages are posted according to regulations.
Three steps to complete the goal
