Additionally, it was emphasized that there was 24-hour surveillance in the Braised Food Department. Should any violation of operating procedures be detected, penalties would range from wage deductions to, in serious cases, termination. Legal action would be taken immediately against any illegal conduct.
When Lin Xu first saw these rules and regulations, he thought they were somewhat over the top. But upon closer consideration, he realized that braised meats were indeed a hotspot for food safety issues. Things like the illegal use of nitrates or banned food additives, and the use of rotten ingredients—there's always a plethora of such reports each year. Xu Xinhua being so cautious was the right approach. Better safe than sorry, after all.
