The issue of food quality in educational institutions was raised during a parliamentary session. At the initiative of the lawmaker, it is necessary to monitor exactly what is being sold to students and under what conditions products are stored.
Parental complaints and health risks
Committee Chairman Suyunbek Omurzakov reported that parents are expressing concern over cafeteria assortments. Specifically, children are being supplied with carbonated drinks and sweets that may negatively affect their well-being.
According to the deputy, some parents link the consumption of such products to children's complaints of headaches and dental problems, including cavities.
Inspection proposals
To resolve the issue, Omurzakov proposed creating a special commission that should include parents. The main tasks of the revision will be:
- verifying the list of products sold;
- monitoring product storage conditions;
- checking compliance with sanitary requirements.
The deputy emphasized that the Ministry of Education should take measures to protect students' health.
