Proposed Action by Yakutsk Mayor: Install Bicycles in Toilets for Flushing
Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world, is taking steps to improve the quality and safety of its food service establishments. Yakutsk Mayor Evgeniy Grigoryev has proposed a new mechanism to combat the prevalence of unlicensed cafes, known as "nalivayki," and establishments that lack basic sanitation and facilities.
According to Tatyana Tymyrova, the former Chairperson of the Republic of Yakutia Hospitality Association, these "nalivayki" are not only lacking toilets but also kitchens, ventilation, dishwashers, sinks, seating, and even basic utensils like forks and spoons. This makes them unfit for operation.
To address this issue, Mayor Grigoryev has suggested implementing stricter regulations for food service establishments. Restaurants, bars, and cafes are already required to have a toilet room with a handwashing area, as outlined by GOST R 50762-2007 and GOST R 50764-95. However, the mayor's proposal aims to ensure that these establishments comply with these regulations.
In addition, Alexander Arinosov, from the Yaroslavl Regional Branch of "OPORA RUSSIA," has proposed requirements for establishments to have an entrance from the facade of a multi-apartment residential building, with no entrances to the residential building. He has also suggested working with existing federal SanPins and increasing field work, rather than focusing on reporting and PR.
Arinosov's proposals also include a requirement for all alcoholic products to be handed to the client in open packaging and a ban on taking alcohol out of the establishment. Moreover, he has suggested a similar certification mechanism to hotel classification for catering establishments, requiring necessary certification for operation.
The business community has also been active in proposing solutions to the problem of "pouring establishments" that focus solely on selling cheap alcohol. They have suggested a hot menu requirement for these establishments, although this requirement was not previously mentioned in any fact provided.
To enforce these proposals, changes need to be made to the republican law. Previously, business associations proposed certifying catering facilities to combat "nalivayki," and a similar proposal was made by the mayor of Yekaterinburg, Evgeny Roizman.
Tyumyrova emphasized the need for officials to conduct inspections and meet with business communities proposing solutions to the problem. She also highlighted the importance of addressing this issue, as it affects the safety and quality of food and beverages in Yakutsk.
In conclusion, Yakutsk is taking steps to improve the quality and safety of its food service establishments by proposing stricter regulations and a certification mechanism. These changes aim to combat the prevalence of unlicensed cafes and "nalivayki" and ensure that establishments comply with basic sanitation and facility requirements.
