There is a massive coverup going on in China over school lunches.
But online CCP shills are trying to convince you China beats the US.
China’s School Lunch Scandals: Parents Push Back, Officials Promise Crackdowns
A wave of reports from across China suggests serious problems with school meals—from spoiled seafood in Shanghai to a lead-poisoning scandal in Gansu—fueling claims of a cover-up culture and prompting new official probes.
In July, authorities in Tianshui, Gansu province said more than 200 kindergarteners showed abnormally high blood-lead levels after staff added pigment to food to make it look more appealing. Police detained multiple people, and national outlets and wire services documented hospitalizations and investigations. Parents and commentators alleged local officials initially tried to muffle the story.
Follow-up reporting described attempts to falsify tests and hush complaints, with additional probes launched into cadres and health units. Major international and regional outlets framed the case as a test of transparency after past food scandals.
More recently, in September, Shanghai parents complained that canteen shrimp “smelled off,” triggering abrupt menu changes and police involvement with a large city caterer. Coverage linked the uproar to broader anxiety about pre-made or centrally supplied school meals.
Officials highlight enforcement wins and new guidance—courts publicized penalties for expired snacks near schools and ministries have touted tighter school-meal rules. Critics counter that penalties often arrive after social-media outcry, reinforcing concerns that problems are addressed only once they become public.
Public memory of earlier crises—like 2019’s moldy-food protests in Chengdu—keeps skepticism high. Parents say they rely on videos, chat groups, and independent reporters to force action when local oversight falls short.
