The food problem at the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center has aroused public debate over the past few days. Some quarantineists described it as a "Danny lunch box that can be swallowed by abnormal people." Some citizens have symptoms of collective diarrhea and suspected collective food poisoning.

Some citizens said on the radio program this morning (10th) that their family members had diarrhea after eating meals. After complaints, they changed to serving cup noodles and then served hot meals without recurring discomfort. Other residents were dissatisfied with the meal. The rice in the meal was yellow, and the family members experienced slight discomfort after eating.

The catering contractor involved is Danny Foods Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Danny).

"Hong Kong 01" is asking Danny about meal arrangements.

The Department of Health replied that the epidemiological investigation is still ongoing, but the local catering contractors at the Quarantine Center of Penny's Bay and Lei Yue Mun Park and Resort have been changed to Delicious King Catering Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Delicious King).

Asked about the tender procedures and contract requirements, the Department of Health only stated that it would purchase related services in accordance with government procurement regulations and codes. It would continue to closely monitor the service quality of outsourced contractors and seriously follow up complaints received.

Worried lunch boxes that caused school children’s abdominal pain or diarrhea

Looking through the information, Danny is one of the four major student lunchbox suppliers in Hong Kong. In 2019, due to the distribution of suspected broken lunchboxes, at least 20 students at the Ma Jincan Memorial Primary School of the Tung Wah Third Hospital in Sheung Shui suffered abdominal pain or diarrhea after eating.

The company has been interviewed and stated that it supplies more than 30,000 lunch boxes to about 100 schools every day, insisting that the hygiene of student lunch boxes is the most important, followed by nutrition and taste, and finally the price.

Affected by the epidemic, Danny revealed last year that the suspension of classes resulted in zero income, and some employees had to suspend work.

Referring to the school lunch supplier operating information submitted by Danny at the end of last year, it is stated that a team of registered dietitians and executive chefs prepares the menu, and arranges for fresh vegetables to arrive at the school every day, and on-site cooking at the school.

Set up a central plant for automated production

Danny was established in 2001 and has many years of experience in providing catering.

According to official website information, the company has set up a 20,000-square-foot modern central production plant in Kwai Chung. It uses automated production processes to specialize in producing different types of food. It uses a single-flow production process to prevent cross-infection of raw and cooked food. "We insist on making high-quality and delicious lunch boxes every day to ensure that lunch meets the standard of freshness and nutrition."

As for the current quarantine center's catering contractor, Meiweiwang, its business covers schools, governments, and institutions, and it also provides catering services for the Fire Services Department, the Police Department and the Correctional Services Department. The four contracts involved a total of nearly 100 million yuan.
