The US Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Food and Drug Administration) suggests that parents can introduce seasonal and local ingredients to their children when visiting the market; After returning home, you can wash vegetables, cook and cook together, so that children can know where and how the food they eat comes from. While parents and children are eating, they can explain the knowledge and eating methods about food safety one by one.
When you go out to eat with your family, you can also take the opportunity to teach your children whether the environmental sanitation is clean (whether the floor is dirty or not, whether the kitchen waste is covered), whether the cooking area is clean (whether the chopping boards of raw and cooked food are mixed, whether the dishes and the desktop are wiped with a rag), whether the staff are hygienic (whether they wear overalls and hats, whether the hands that have touched money directly touch the ingredients), and whether they pay attention to the storage of the pots and pans of ingredients (whether the refrigerator temperature is 0 degrees Celsius).
In order to protect children from excessive intake of sugary drinks and foods, the Food and Drug Administration also requires manufacturers of snacks, drinks, sweets and ice products to ban advertising on children's channels from 5 pm to 9 pm. 65438+Since July 2004, the mandatory sugar content has been added to the nutrition label of packaged food in addition to the original seven nutrients; Hand-cranked drinks should also indicate the amount of sugar added and the calories contained, so that "sugar" has nothing to hide.
In addition to family education and * * * control, school nutritious lunch is also the best place for children to learn food education. Through the subtle influence of the school, food education has become a student's "literacy". The US Food and Drug Administration plans a "school lunch inspection program" every year. From 107, the operators who set up their own kitchens and provide school lunch group meals in all primary and secondary schools in Taiwan were inspected, with a coverage rate of 100% to maintain the safety and quality of campus food. The US Food and Drug Administration will continue to test from the source to the market to build a high-quality food and consumption environment for children and adults to "buy and eat with confidence".
