Jeju Island Designates 37 Locations as 'Jeju Pork Certified Stores'

Newly Confirmed Restaurant Using 100% Jeju Pork... Strengthened Follow-up Management Including On-site Inspections

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Island has introduced the ‘Jeju Pork Certification Store’ system to prevent imported or pork from other cities and provinces from being disguised and sold as Jeju pork.

According to Jeju Island on the 8th, restaurants inside and outside the province that operate by receiving 100% Jeju pork supplied through local meat processing companies are designated as ‘Jeju Pork Certification Stores’ after document and on-site inspections.

Jeju Pork Certification Stores must regularly check the use of Jeju pork from suppliers at least once a month and undergo compliance inspections from the provincial and administrative city authorities at least once a year.

In particular, Jeju Island plans to strengthen follow-up management by conducting surprise on-site inspections of hygiene management status at Jeju Pork Certification Stores in cooperation with the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory and administrative cities until the end of the year.

Jeju Island plans to introduce the designation details of Jeju Pork Certification Stores through the provincial government website and actively promote consumers’ use of Jeju pork restaurants.

Jeon Byeong-hwa, Director of the Provincial Agriculture, Livestock and Food Department, said, “The designation of Jeju Pork Certification Stores prevents the disguised sale of pork from other cities and provinces as Jeju pork,” and added, “We will expand the designation of Jeju Pork Certification Stores to increase the consumption of clean Jeju pork.”
