Jeonnam Province Intensifies Efforts to Prevent Food Poisoning and Livestock Product Hazards in School Cafeterias

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province (Governor Kim Young-rok) is making every effort to prevent livestock product-related accidents such as food poisoning that may occur in school cafeterias as phased school attendance progresses.

Jeonnam Province announced on the 20th that it will conduct hygiene inspections of egg processing companies and farm-type dairy processing companies in the province until the 27th.

The targets are a total of 29 locations, including 9 egg processing companies and 20 farm-type dairy processing companies in the Jeonnam area.

The province plans to organize three monitoring teams to focus on inspecting safety management, including microbial standards of raw materials and finished products, violations of raw material preparation requirements such as purchasing, storing, and using defective eggs like broken eggs, microbial safety management status, and compliance with self-quality inspection standards.

In particular, products produced by the relevant companies will be collected and tested for compliance with standards. Minor violations will be corrected on-site, and violations directly related to the safety of livestock products will be subject to administrative measures such as business suspension and fines according to relevant regulations.

Lee Yong-bo, Director of the Animal Quarantine Division of Jeonnam Province, said, “We will conduct focused inspections on livestock products with potential risks according to the timing to provide safe livestock products to residents,” and added, “We will also strengthen education on workplace hygiene management guidelines for livestock product operators.”
