The administration revealed that the food processing areas in the canteens failed to meet food safety and hygiene standards.
The inspections came after students' parents discovered last Thursday that 72kg of tilapia and 21kg of meat, which were allegedly decomposed, were delivered to the Long Binh primary school by Nhat Phu Hao Ltd, a local company specialising in food delivery services.
The 10 schools were inspected because they had signed contracts with the above-mentioned company, the administration said.
The Long Binh primary school was ordered to suspend lunch services for students till all doubts about the use of substandard food were clarified.
