Yeonggwang-gun, Hygiene Inspection of 'Group Catering Facilities' to Prevent Food Poisoning

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 14th that it will conduct hygiene inspections of group meal facilities due to concerns about large-scale food poisoning outbreaks caused by rising summer temperatures.

This inspection will be carried out until the 31st, with Yeonggwang-gun, Yeonggwang Office of Education, and the Child Meal Management Support Center collaborating to conduct a full inspection of 30 child meal facilities in the area, including daycare centers and kindergartens, where hygiene management is weak.

Minor violations found during the inspection will be immediately corrected on-site, while serious violations will be subject to strong administrative measures.

The main inspection items include ▲ personal hygiene management such as health checkups for food handlers ▲ use of expired products ▲ hygiene management of ingredients ▲ compliance with preservation food storage (stored for 144 hours) ▲ adherence to COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

The county emphasized that places preparing food for many people require special attention to food poisoning prevention through personal hygiene and thorough ingredient management, and on-site guidance will also be conducted to ensure strict compliance with COVID-19 daily quarantine rules.

A county official said, “As food poisoning incidents have recently occurred consecutively in kindergartens and daycare centers, we will do our best to prevent food poisoning in advance by thoroughly managing vulnerable facilities through this hygiene inspection and guidance.”
