Kolkata: The Bengal government is set to issue fresh guidelines asking primary school heads to taste the food before each midday meal and making ISI-certified oil a must for cooking.

In the current system followed in most schools, the cook and a teacher are supposed to taste and check the food before it is served to students.

The government wants to strengthen the quality check in the wake of the midday meal tragedy at Saran in Bihar that has killed at least 23 children.

"The government is set to issue stringent instructions to check the quality of food served to students under the midday meal scheme," a senior official of the Bengal school education department said.

The Centre had laid down guidelines for proper implementation of the midday meal scheme, which include a protocol for tasting the food before serving it to the students.

In Bengal, nearly 57,000 state-aided schools are covered under the scheme. According to a government source, there are thousands of schools in Bengal where such protocols are not maintained.

"We are worried after the Bihar incident. Every possible step will be taken to ensure that intense vigil is maintained in the entire process followed by schools - procuring ingredients, fixing menus and preparing the food," said Arun Kumar Chatterjee, the chairman of the state government task force that monitors the implementation of the midday meal scheme in Bengal.

According to him, the task force prepared a list of instructions for schools and forwarded it to the school education department on Friday.

A notice containing the new instructions will soon be issued to the schools, education department officials said.

The state will set up inspection teams for every district. The teams will visit schools in batches on every working day and examine whether proper hygiene is maintained during cooking and serving.

Chatterjee said the maximum emphasis would be laid on the use of proper edible oil.
