Incheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City will conduct a special hygiene inspection from the 20th to the 26th, considering the rapid increase in the purchase of delivery food, kimbap, and lunch boxes as the COVID-19 pandemic prolongs.

The city will focus on inspecting 111 places, including delivery restaurants and kimbap and lunch box preparation food establishments that have had administrative sanctions in the past two years, checking whether hygiene education has been completed, health checkups for workers have been conducted, unsanitary food handling, and compliance with preservation and distribution standards.

In particular, foods suspected of safety issues during on-site inspections will be collected for safety tests such as food poisoning bacteria. Along with this, the city plans to promote and provide on-site guidance on social distancing quarantine guidelines for restaurants.

The city will immediately guide minor issues that can be corrected on-site based on the inspection results, and if legal violations are found, administrative actions such as business suspension, facility improvements, and fines will be imposed.

An official from Incheon City stated, "As the COVID-19 situation continues, consumption of home meal replacement foods such as delivery food, kimbap, and lunch boxes is increasing instead of dining out," adding, "We will strengthen hygiene inspections to ensure that safe food is prepared and sold."
