Dongsin University Operates 6 Child Meal Management Support Centers... The Most Among Universities Nationwide

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Department of Food and Nutrition at Dongshin University has been recognized as the department operating the most Children's Meal Management Support Centers among universities nationwide.

According to Dongshin University on the 8th, the Department of Food and Nutrition took charge of the entrusted operation of the Gangjin-gun Children's Meal Management Support Center, which opened on the 1st, and began full-scale operations.

Until now, 39 facilities in the Gangjin area, including daycare centers, kindergartens, and local children's centers, have received support from the Jeonnam-do Children's Meal Management Support Center and the Hwasun-gun Children's Meal Management Support Center, but they have experienced inconvenience due to the long distance.

The Gangjin-gun Children's Meal Management Support Center plans to resolve such inconveniences for member facilities and work together to promote the health of children in the Gangjin area and create a high-quality meal environment.

Additionally, for children's meal facilities with fewer than 100 people that are not required to employ nutritionists, the center provides support such as systematic hygiene, safety, and nutrition management through regular visits, development and distribution of educational materials like age-specific meal plans for children, target-specific education, and customized meal hygiene, safety, and nutrition programs.

With the opening of the Gangjin-gun center, the Department of Food and Nutrition at Dongshin University now operates six Children's Meal Management Support Centers nationwide, the most among universities, including those in Jeonnam-do, Gwangyang-si, Hwasun-gun, Jangheung-gun, and Boseong-gun.

Lee In-ok, head of the Gangjin-gun Children's Meal Management Support Center (professor in the Department of Food and Nutrition), said, “We will strive to provide professional and systematic support for children's meal facilities,” adding, “In particular, we will establish a support system for education programs specialized for the region to improve the quality of children's meals.”
