Jangseong-gun Agricultural Products Processing Support Center Obtains HACCP Certification

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 17th that the Agricultural Products Processing Support Center (hereinafter referred to as the Support Center) has obtained HACCP certification.

HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point) is a scientific hygiene management system that ensures food safety by focusing on managing food hazard factors step by step.

The Support Center, which opened in 2016, is a processed food manufacturing facility managed by the Jangseong-gun Agricultural Technology Center and operated by the Jangseong Yechan Farming Association Corporation.

It is equipped with 79 units of 58 types of the latest processing equipment and produces processed products using agricultural products from Jangseong as raw materials, selling them at Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, local food direct stores, and others.

In addition, it has promoted the commercialization of safe agricultural food processing products that consumers can trust by establishing the HACCP system, providing professional consulting for HACCP certification, and conducting training for workers.

As a result, it achieved HACCP certification for 31 items in four categories: fruit and vegetable juices, jams, yeot (traditional Korean taffy), and processed fruit and vegetable products. This is the first certification among agricultural product processing centers operating in the Jeonnam region.

Yoo Dooseok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, said, “With this HACCP certification, we expect the sales volume of excellent processed products produced by Jangseong farmers to increase, leading to improved farm income.”
