The Authority Finds 15 Schools In Violation Of Cafeteria Standards
The General Authority for Food and Nutrition has uncovered multiple schools in breach of regulations governing school canteens and the quality of food provided to students. This revelation follows the authority’s meticulous inspection tours of educational institutions. In a comprehensive report submitted to the Ministry of Education's Undersecretary, the authority underscored its pivotal role in ensuring the health and safety of students.
The report references Ministerial Resolution No. 5 of 2021, outlining health requirements for school canteens and designating responsibilities to the General Authority for Food and Nutrition. In response, the authority conducted thorough inspections of school cafeterias across various educational regions, revealing numerous violations concerning adherence to health standards.
The report underscores the urgency of taking immediate action against the implicated schools and individuals responsible for compromising student health and safety. It advocates for collaboration with inspection teams to visit all Kuwaiti schools, ensuring that companies supplying school canteens adhere to the health requirements specified in Ministerial Resolution No. 5 of 2021.
While the report does not disclose the names of the 15 offending schools, it outlines various violations, including the sale of non-compliant food items, unauthorized suppliers, and the preparation and sale of foods not meeting established standards. Discovery of cooking utensils, unsanctioned food items, and cooking equipment in school corridors further heightens potential risks to student health and safety. The General Authority for Food and Nutrition emphasizes the need for swift action to rectify these issues and prevent further harm to the student community.
