How much do you know about food safety? It is essential for a healthy life

"Students, what are your favorite snacks?" "Spicy strips, biscuits, chocolate, milk..." In order to actively respond to the 2023 Binhai New Area National Science Popularization Day theme event of "Improving the scientific literacy of all people and promoting scientific and technological self-reliance", on the afternoon of September 20, the District Science and Technology Bureau, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, and the China Science and Technology Blue Ocean Science Popularization Base held a theme science popularization event at the Binhai School of Kunming Road Primary School in Tianjin entitled "How Much Do You Know About Food Safety - Little Secrets of Snacks", which enhanced the food safety awareness and scientific literacy of teachers and students.

The event was rich in content and diverse in form, attracting more than 100 fifth-grade teachers and students to participate. During the lecture, Tianjin Science Ambassador Dr. Qiao Liping gave a comprehensive explanation of food safety issues from multiple perspectives. She not only explained the importance of food safety in a simple and easy-to-understand way, but also taught students how to correctly solve the food safety problems they often encounter in combination with daily life. In addition, Dr. Qiao also answered questions about "how to eat snacks healthily" that students were very concerned about, so that students fully realized the harm of junk food and spoiled food to their health, and improved their ability to identify food safety and enhance self-protection. During the event, there were both knowledge explanations and on-site interactions. The students were in high spirits and the atmosphere was warm.

Through this popular science activity, students have enhanced their awareness of food safety, further established the concept of healthy eating, and improved their ability to prevent food safety. Students said: "In the future, we must pay attention to hygiene, not eat junk food, develop good eating habits, protect our health with practical actions, advocate healthy living, and let a healthy body 'serve' a healthy life." The relevant person in charge of the District Science and Technology Bureau said that it is necessary to continue to publicize and practice food safety knowledge, advocate the combination of healthy living and active learning, and strive to create a harmonious and stable food safety campus.
