The incident of "student food poisoning" occurs occasionally, and each time it affects the nerves of the majority of parents and even the whole society. Today, a principal's cry in front of the camera quickly dominated the hot search list of the Internet.

According to a November 25 report by Henan Radio and Television Station, about 30 students in a middle school in Fengqiu County vomited after meals, and the principal choked and wept in an interview, saying that the food delivery company was a bidding by the Education Bureau and could not be replaced.

According to local media reports, students reported that the meals they ate that day were "a bit of tofu and a little fishy of stew", which caused parents to worry and dissatisfaction. The school's principal said in an interview that the food delivery company was tendered by the local education bureau.

On November 26, the official of Fengqiu County, Henan Province, reported the incident, demanding that the catering company immediately stop delivering meals to the school and set up an investigation team to investigate. The notice said that the physical condition of the 3 hospitalized students was stable, and the physical condition of the remaining teachers and students had returned to normal; Samples of food, vomit and feces have been extracted for testing and traceability, the cause of the incident is found, and the violations of discipline are seriously held accountable once they are identified.

A staff member of Beijing Zhihong Hengda Commercial and Trade Co., Ltd., a catering enterprise involved, told reporters that the company provided meals for more than 3,800 people in more than 10 schools in the Fengqiu area, all of which were meals made in the same canteen, and only one school reflected the situation at present, and other schools have not received the feedback.

The company reported to the police on November 23 and is awaiting the results of the investigation, while suspending meals at Qicheng Middle School and feeding other schools as usual. The above-mentioned staff said that feeding the school is a unified bidding by the Fengqiu County Education and Sports Bureau, and the enterprise has only started to deliver meals to the schools concerned more than a week ago, and other schools have started as early as last month. Basically, each food truck is equipped with 3 food delivery personnel, and the relevant personnel are currently cooperating with the investigation. Read the full >>>

"Students vomit collectively but can't change the delivery company", this news has aroused widespread concern. Questions related to the rights and interests of students always need to be asked a few more questions, not to mention such a serious matter as threatening the health of students. Judging from the feedback of the school, students and parents in the report, finding a way to let the children eat a clean meal is obviously the most urgent thing at present.

In fact, the Ministry of Education and other 5 departments issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of the Nutrition Improvement Plan for Rural Compulsory Education Students" issued in 2019, which clearly states that it is necessary to vigorously promote the provision of canteen meals, and it is clear that school canteens (dormitories) should adhere to the principle of "public welfare and non-profit", be self-managed by the school, and must not be contracted or entrusted to operate externally. However, judging from the situation of this school, the implementation of policies in some places is obviously debatable.

Of course, it is not excluded that some places are difficult to build standardized canteens in every rural school because of financial shortages and other factors, but no matter what form of substitution, the process supervision must obviously be extremely strict, because this is related to the health of students.

In the end, only stricter processes, more meticulous standards and more compact chains can ensure that children eat on time, in sufficient quantities and safely. Read the full >>>

The following news event is also about food, but it is not about hygiene, but about trademark protection. "Tongguan meat sandwich steamed bun" I believe many people have eaten, belongs to our ranks of Chinese famous snacks, recently Tongguan meat sandwich steamed bun fire, but it is not a good thing.

More than 212 small merchants are facing lawsuits – they were sued by the Tongguan Meat Sandwich Association (hereinafter referred to as the Association) for tens of thousands of yuan in damages for the use of the words "Tongguan Meat Sandwich Steamed Buns" in the store. If you want to continue to use the sign of "Tongguan Meat Sandwich Bun", you will also need to pay a franchise fee of about 100,000 yuan, as well as an annual fee of thousands of yuan per year.

Some of this series of lawsuits across the country have been rejected by the courts, but more are small merchants who have been judged to bear the consequences of infringement. Some netizens wondered: Can the county name be registered as a trademark? Is the snack bar before the Tongguan Meat Sandwich Bun Association obtained the trademark in 2015 also considered an infringement? Some netizens also believe that the use of the name of "Tongguan Meat Sandwich Bun" as the name of the store has indeed been suspected of infringement.

As a professional lawyer in the field of intellectual property rights, Li Li, a lawyer at Sichuan Yafeng Law Firm, believes that there is no problem with the legal operation of the Tongguan Meat Sandwich Steamed Bun Association: "Trademark protection in China is the principle of first application, and whoever applies first enjoys the rights. The Association did register a trademark, and by definition of a geographical indication trademark, it was valid. If another merchant uses a registered trademark, it naturally constitutes infringement. Li Li said that whether the Tongguan Meat Sandwich Steamed Bun Association itself is engaged in the business activities of meat sandwich bun does not become a factor affecting its ownership of the brand.

Some people in the legal profession have expressed doubts about this. Lawyer Li Xu of Sichuan Renhou Law Firm said, "According to the Measures for the Registration and Administration of Collective Trademarks and Certification Marks, if an application for registration with a geographical indication as a collective trademark is used, it should be indicated that it has the ability to supervise the specific quality of the goods using the geographical indication. ”

Zi Feng, a special commentator of a media, believes that from the information available so far, the so-called "rights protection" of the "Tongguan Meat Sandwich Steamed Bun Association" is actually untenable, more like a kind of "touching porcelain".

On November 26, the official WeChat public account of the State Intellectual Property Office released a message saying that the "Tongguan Meat Sandwich Steamed Bun" and the previous similar situation of "Happy Hu Spicy Soup" did not have the right to charge a franchise fee. Read the full >>>

Multiple experts interviewed believe that Chicago's high crime rate is related to structural racial tensions.

"Compared with whites, people of color are at a disadvantage in education, employment, and income." Zhang Jun, an American legal expert and lawyer, said, "In the past few years, the contradictions and tears between races have reached a high level. Read the full >>>
