Recently, a controversial video in Shantou, Guangdong Province sparked heated discussions in the society. In the video, a customer filmed a chef tasting the ingredients with a spoon and then continuing to cook the ingredients, saying the act was very uncomfortable. According to Mr. Zhu, the person who posted the video, he and his family arrived at a restaurant in the Shenyuan Dongxia 100 shopping mall and found that the chef used the same spoon to taste the ingredients several times before using them to cook the ingredients, and recorded the scene with his mobile phone. Mr. Zhu expressed his discomfort and reported the situation to the front desk of the mall. According to the staff of the restaurant concerned, the spoon used by the chef was treated with water before continuing to cook the ingredients. The staff of the mall said that on the evening of the 30th, because some people reported that there was a problem with the soup base of the dish, the chef specially set up another pot to adjust the taste, and the pot dish was not sold to the public.
The occurrence of this incident has sparked widespread discussion and controversy. On the consumer side, they have greatly increased their concern about food safety and hygiene, and have said that this behavior is outrageous and raises questions about the food hygiene and safety of restaurants. The restaurant staff responded that the chef had treated the water after tasting the taste, and responded and explained the perception.
The underlying reasons behind this incident may be related to the problems of food safety management and supervision in the catering industry. In China, restaurant food hygiene and safety has long been a long-standing issue. In order to pursue economic benefits, some restaurants cut corners in food hygiene, or mismanaged, and there is a lack of supervision in food safety management. Therefore, the occurrence of this incident has once again aroused the public's attention to the food safety issues in the catering industry.
In response to this incident, the local regulatory authorities may need to carry out stricter food safety inspections and management of the restaurants involved to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again in the first place. In addition, consumers should be more cautious about choosing restaurants and food, not only focusing on taste and quality, but also about food safety and hygiene. For restaurants, it is necessary to strengthen food safety awareness and strictly implement relevant food safety standards and procedures.
Internationally, similar food safety issues are also a global problem, and countries have also taken a series of measures to strengthen the supervision of food hygiene, for which China can also learn from the management experience of other countries to improve the food safety level of China's catering industry. By strengthening supervision and management, as well as improving consumers' awareness of self-protection, it is believed that food safety can be better protected and that food safety is the basic right and interest of one party.
