This article is about a third preschool hit by food poisoning. 'To date, 235 children and 12 teachers have been hit by symptoms of food poisoning, including vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and fever, after eating meals provided by the caterer'.I feel very sad for the children as they are so young and have to suffer.
' The company said it was cooperating with the authorities to ascertain the cause of the incidents, and has been working with an independent consultant to review its supply chain procedures. Its staff was also going through a special refresher course on hygiene procedures'. I'm glad the caterer has had its operating licence suspended since last Thursday and they are trying to improve to ensure similar incidents will not occur as they will have good hygiene practices and proper food handling in future.
Usually caterers need to observe haccp very closely as they need to take into consideration the delivery and transportation time. Can food be kept at the required temperature throughout?
