Community leaders and parents denounced the delivery of food in poor condition that is part of the School Feeding Program, PAE, in public educational institutions in the municipalities of Íquira, La Plata and Villavieja, in Huila.
These are perishable foods such as bananas, cilantro, broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, as well as fruits and even meats that would not have met the cold chain.
The food for the children arrived in poor condition, damaged, because the food did not comply with the cold chain
“The food for the children arrived in poor condition, damaged, because the food did not meet the cold chain,” said Luis Toro, councilor of Ichira, a municipality located one hour from Neiva. And he added: “it is very sad and angry, because it was the first food delivery of the year in our municipality. This problem affects all the educational institutions of this population.”
Antonio Nasayó, president of the Community Action Board of the Río Negro town center, also spoke in this regard, who presented videos of food in poor condition.
“We detected rotten eggs and in general all food in poor condition, so we ask for respect for the 900 students in this area,” said the community leader of Íquira.
The complaints spread to rural educational institutions in Villavieja and La Plata, where the parents revealed that the food was spoiling.

The Secretary of Education of Huila, Milena Oliveros, affirmed that the problems have arisen in perishable foods.
“We thank the parents who made the complaints. It is possible that some operators in certain areas of the department have lost the cold chain and this has generated accelerated deterioration and poor quality of some vegetables and legumes, cases that are already being studied. We are going to apply sanctions,” the official said.
The PAE benefits 124,500 boys, girls, adolescents and young people from the Huila public education system.
For her part, Alejandra Montes, spokeswoman for the Huila 2022 Temporary Food Union, indicated that “the products we buy are of the highest quality, unfortunately between the handling and transportation of the products, some vegetables can be affected,” she said.
And he added that in the case of eggs “we have not had any type of requirement in any of the municipalities, we have all the supports and the respective replacements that were made.”
