(KZN.RU,
August 5). Starting September 1, Kazan schools will offer children a new menu.
Rima Mukhamedshin, the general director of the Department of Food and Social
Catering of Kazan, announced this today at the Business Monday.
According
to the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor, the assortment and quantity of
semi-finished products will decrease in the canteens. They will be given no
more than 1-2 times a week.
The speaker
reminded that in the last academic year, the technology for the production of
semi-finished products was revised. Then they were brought to school tastings
in all districts of the city, where children and parents could choose the most
preferred dishes. “According to their wishes, we included in the menu only
those dishes that were selected by schoolchildren”, noted R. Mukhamedshina.
In
addition, due to the appeals of children and parents, hot food was introduced
with a lower cost in the updated menu (45 rubles). You can choose the second
dish or the first dish with pastries for this amount.
Parents can
assess the updated menu and taste the dishes that their children will eat during
the school year in a series of school picnics. As part of these events in
September and October, parents will also be able to consult a dietitian.
R.
Mukhamedshina said that using the stay of international experts in cookery and
confectionery in Kazan at the WorldSkills, the Department plans to organize a
roundtable on the organization of school meals. Experts will also be offered
tasting dishes from the new menu.
According
to Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, special attention should be paid to educational
activities and the promotion of healthy nutrition. “Schools have long switched
to chips and sandwiches even in rich countries, where much can be afforded in
urban infrastructure. We believe that we need a healthy generation and that is
why we will develop school nutrition and change lifestyle. These are not empty
words, and it is always difficult to implement”, said the Mayor.
