For the second time in a month, a mouse head has been found in a lunch box meal of a cafeteria in China, state media reported on Tuesday (June 28), sparking online witticisms and a larger debate about food safety in the country.
The head of a rodent was found in a lunch box in the cafeteria of Xiushan county's traditional Chinese medicine hospital, according to state media, citing a statement from the market regulation bureau of the county in Chongqing municipality.
The hospital said its cafeteria catering is outsourced to a third-party provider through government bidding and had never encountered such an issue before, according to the report that cited local media. It was the second time a mouse head had apparently found its way into a dish this month after a student at Jiangxi Industry Polytechnic College in Nanchang posted a video of"an object with teeth, eyes and nose" in his rice dish at a college cafeteria on June 1, according to the South China Morning Post.On social media, people expressed concerns over food security following the two incidents.
