Maybe many people don't know the nutrition caterer, so let's take a look at the introduction of the nutrition caterer with me!
Nutritional catering staff is a new type of occupation promulgated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on February 26th, 2002. Its occupation code is 4-03-04-0 1, which is the 42nd occupation. At present, many vocational training institutions have been engaged in the training of nutrition caterers, and issued qualification assessment and standards, with designated training assessment materials. The professional definition of a nutrition caterer is a person who uses the basic knowledge of nutrition to prepare catering products suitable for different groups of people according to their different characteristics and requirements.
In recent years, people's diet has been greatly improved, but many people lack nutrition knowledge and don't know the diet balance, which leads to the increasing incidence of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Therefore, using modern nutrition knowledge to guide people's three meals a day has become an important topic. How to scientifically prepare meals needs a systematic standard, so a new professional nutrition caterer was born according to the needs and was included in the national professional access post.
The job of a nutritionist is to guide people to eat rationally and nutritionally, so that people not only have enough to eat, but also eat healthily. Many people think that nutritionists are nutritionists, but there is a difference between them. Nutritional caterers pay more attention to practical operation than nutritionists. Senior nutrition caterer must be familiar with cooking and have the professional qualification of senior chef or above; They not only learn food nutrition knowledge, but also know cooking knowledge, food safety and hygiene, food preparation knowledge and so on.
As nutrition caterer is a new national occupation, there are few certified practitioners at present, so it has become a popular occupation at present. Occupation is divided into three grades: intermediate (national vocational qualification level 4), advanced (national vocational qualification level 3) and technician (national vocational qualification level 2).
According to reports, there are currently less than 4,000 nutritionists in the country, and the gap is quite large. In Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other cities, nutritional catering has been widely recognized. In some high-end communities, there are nutritional caterers. Their services are mostly to provide nutrition consultation for residents and carry out food weight loss training. The salary of a senior nutrition caterer can reach more than 4,500 yuan per month.
The industry threshold of nutritional caterers is not very high. Those who have obtained the professional qualification certificate of catering profession (such as cooking, pastry, catering service, etc.). ) or engaged in catering-related occupations for more than 3 years, you can sign up for the intermediate qualification examination. Those who get the qualification certificate can go to corporate restaurants, hotels, health care products companies and other units for employment, or they can start their own businesses, with a wide range of employment fields.
It is understood that the upcoming National Nutrition Regulations (Trial) stipulates that restaurants with 100 people must be equipped with nutrition caterers, and restaurants with more than 300 people must be equipped with nutrition managers. At the same time, with people paying more and more attention to this profession, the development prospect of nutrition catering staff is promising.
