Experts in education, law, and food safety have emphasized that the implementation of the HACCP system in schools and kindergartens is essential for child safety, rather than being merely a bureaucratic requirement. Marina Day, a prominent legal expert with a PhD in Law and the CEO of E-Science Space, noted that the legal framework requires the mandatory adoption of HACCP standards.
According to Day, several legislative acts have established the necessity of HACCP compliance in educational settings. These regulations are designed to safeguard children’s health by ensuring that food served in these institutions meets strict safety standards. The experts argue that the focus should be on the health and well-being of children, rather than on administrative procedures. This perspective is gaining traction among policymakers and educators who are increasingly recognizing the importance of food safety in schools.
