Jeonbuk Province Conducts Planned Crackdown on Food and Youth-Harmful Businesses Around Schools

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jeonbuk Province's Special Judicial Police for Livelihood announced on the 6th that they will form inspection teams to conduct planned crackdowns from the 10th to the 29th targeting food establishments and youth-harmful businesses around schools during the new semester.

This crackdown will be carried out by two teams consisting of eight members, including the Jeollabuk-do Special Judicial Police team and civilian-appointed Safety Keepers, focusing on businesses prohibited from youth entry and employment as well as food manufacturing and sales establishments.

The key inspection items during this period include ▲ violations of youth entry and employment prohibition (karaoke rooms, PC rooms, video rooms, etc.) ▲ selling cigarettes and alcoholic beverages to youth (restaurants, convenience stores, etc.) ▲ appropriateness of raw materials and storage management for children's preferred foods (freezing, refrigeration, first-in-first-out, etc.) ▲ compliance with food expiration dates and proper refrigerated storage ▲ adherence to standards and specifications regarding food or food additives.

Additionally, Jeonbuk Province will conduct a youth protection campaign during the inspection period.

The Special Judicial Police team and 55 Safety Keepers will visit commercial areas densely populated by youth around schools, distribute 5,000 leaflets detailing business compliance requirements, and guide youth wandering the streets after school hours to safely return home.

A Jeonbuk Province official stated, “There are more businesses prohibited for youth entry or employment around schools than expected,” and added, “We will continue to conduct crackdowns on targeted businesses to minimize harmful environments for youth and create a safe school environment.”
