According to the China Daily, the hospital explained that the catering sector of its canteen had been outsourced to an outside partner through a government tender and that it had not experienced such a problem in the past.

On June 1, a student at Jiangxi Industrial Polytechnic Institute in the provincial capital of Nanchang posted a video showing “an object with teeth, eyes and a nose” in his bowl of rice offered at the college cafeteria, South China Morning Post reported.
College representatives were unavailable for comment, and online users are expressing concern about food quality. One of them wrote:
“From now on, cafes will have to install security cameras and play back the videos they record in the dining area.”
