A recruitment advertisement released by Meituan, one of the largest food delivery platforms in China, made controversial waves online as the company was suspected of discriminating against carriers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV).

In a job description for potential delivery men, the company said that applicants with “viral hepatitis” are not qualified to register on the platform, reported The Paper on Sunday.

Yiyou Community, a non-profit Chinese organization that strives for the rights of people suffering from hepatitis B, told The Paper on June 5 that Huang Xi (pseudonym), a construction worker in east China’s Jiangxi Province who intended to register as a delivery man on Meituan, found himself unqualified for the job as he was a HBV carrier.

Yiyou Community pointed out the company’s action of simply rejecting applicants with viral hepatitis was not in compliance with the country’s law and regulation since the Food Safety Law only restricted those with viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E from directly processing food and didn’t ban those with HBV. The community accused the company of discriminating against HPV carriers.

However, this is not the only case in the food delivery industry. According to The Paper, Didi Waimai, Didi Chuxing-backed food delivery platform and Alibaba-backed Ele.me also listed the same job requirement for delivery men.

According to China’s Food Safety Law implemented in 2009, anyone who engages in any work involving ready-to-eat food that suffers from any disease including viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E should be transferred to another position.

In addition, a revised version of the Food Safety Law implemented in 2015, stated that those who suffer from any disease listed by China’s National Health Commission should not engage in any work involving  ready-to-eat food. And the listed diseases include viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E.

None of the regulations or law mentioned that people who suffered from viral hepatitis B or carried HBV were banned from working in the food industry.

According to Deng Haihua, former spokesman of National Health Commission, HBV is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, however not through daily contact, reported China News Service. He added by saying that inactive HBV carriers were not patients as they had no clinical symptoms and normal ALT levels that don't pose a threat to people in daily contact with them.

What’s more, since the implementation of the Food Safety Law in 2009, the examination of HBV was removed from the process of health checks for employees working in the food industry and other fields that required the health check, reported China News Service.

However, the ambiguous job requirements of delivery men on various food delivery platforms reflected that certain discriminations against HPV carriers still exist in China and have triggered a heated debate among netizens on social media.

“I don’t think it is a kind of discrimination [against applicants], after all, customers are concerned about food safety,” commented a user @Lili.

“China removed the health check for HBV. None of the health certificates for food industry or orientation health checks require this kind of check anymore,” said a user @NiChengKunNanZhengz.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 257 million people are living with the HBV infection around the world, including over 90 million infected people in China, which accounts for one-third of the world's population.

中国食品派送巨头美团涉嫌歧视乙肝病毒携带者

由于该公司怀疑歧视乙肝病毒(HBV)携带者,美国最大的食品交付平台之一美团公布的招聘广告在网上引发了争议。

该公司在星期日的报告中称,在一份针对潜在送货员的工作描述中,该公司表示,申请“病毒性肝炎”的申请人无法在平台上注册。

一个致力于维护乙型肝炎患者权益的非营利性中国组织益友社区6月5日在接受The Paper报道时表示,华西江西省的建筑工人黄希(化名)打算注册为送货员因为他是乙肝病毒携带者,因此发现自己没有资格从事这项工作。

益友社区指出,公司仅仅拒绝申请病毒性肝炎的行为不符合国家的法律和法规,因为食品安全法只限制病毒性甲型肝炎和病毒性戊型肝炎直接加工食品,并没有禁止那些与HBV。该社区指责该公司歧视HPV携带者。

但是,这不是食品输送行业唯一的情况。根据The Paper报道,滴滴出行支持的食品交付平台Didi Waimai和阿里巴巴支持的Ele.me也列出了送货员的相同工作要求。

根据2009年实施的“中国食品安全法”,任何从事涉及任何疾病(包括病毒性甲型肝炎和病毒性戊型肝炎)的即食食品的工作都应转到另一个职位。

此外,2015年实施的“食品安全法”修订版规定,中国国家卫生委员会所列的任何疾病患者不得从事任何涉及即食食品的工作。列出的疾病包括病毒性甲型肝炎和病毒性肝炎E.

没有任何规定或法律提到患病毒性乙型肝炎或携带HBV的人被禁止在食品行业工作。

中国新闻社报道,据国家卫生委员会前发言人邓海华透露,HBV是通过血液和体液传播的,但不是每天都接触。他补充说,非活动性HBV携带者不是患者,因为他们没有临床症状和正常的ALT水平,不会对每天与他们接触的人造成威胁。

此外,自2009年实施食品安全法以来,中国新闻社报道,自从对食品行业雇员以及其他需要健康检查的领域的员工进行健康检查之后,对乙肝病毒进行了检查。

然而,在不同的食品交付平台上送货人员的工作要求不明确,反映出在中国仍然存在某些对HPV携带者的歧视,并引发了社交媒体上的网民激烈的争论。

中国网民对这个问题持不同意见。 /微信截图。

“我不认为这是对申请人的歧视,毕竟顾客担心食品安全问题,”一位用户@Lili评论道。

“中国取消了对HBV的健康检查。用户@NiChengKunNanZhengz表示,食品行业或定向健康检查的健康证书都不需要这种检查。

据世界卫生组织统计,全世界约有2.57亿人感染乙型肝炎病毒,其中包括中国超过9000万感染人口,占全球人口的三分之一。

80后幼年针头感染的太多了 ;( 无辜承受别人的过错,还要遭歧视,这世俗势利的世界挺让人失望的。 我都梦想在北美买个大岛屿,建立个联合国承认的乙肝国,严格禁毒禁酒,大搞研究和科技,国力也许会超过新加坡,到时候人人自己注射病毒好移民来,看你们还拿什么去歧视乙肝患者。开个玩笑啦 哈哈
