Authorities were alerted after parents reported concerning symptoms in their children, prompting a local investigation. The footage from CCTV cameras highlighted staff's negligence by adding hazardous paint pigments, found to contain lead levels of 1052mg/kg and 1340mg/kg in seemingly harmless food items—the red date cake and the corn sausage rolls, both of which clearly violated safety standards.
Local officials, including Mayor Liu Lijiang, acknowledged the need for increased oversight in public food safety practices, with lessons taken from this distressing situation. Parents, worried about the long-term health effects on their children, express their fears regarding potential damage to their liver and digestive systems, exacerbating a situation that raises critical concerns about the enforcement of food safety regulations in Chinese educational institutions.
