Gochang-gun Rents Bacteria Meters to Group Meal Facilities... Conducts Contactless Bacteria Testing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 15th that it will lend bacterial measuring devices (ATP) to workers and related personnel at collective dining facilities until next month to conduct non-face-to-face self-bacterial inspections.

The bacterial measuring device is a machine that quickly shows the number of surface contamination bacteria as a numerical value on-site within one minute and is mainly used for food poisoning prevention consulting in hygiene establishments.

Currently, about 30 establishments in Gochang's dining facilities wish to rent inspection equipment, accounting for more than 50%.

Childcare center collective dining facilities can know the numerical values of cooking utensils, facilities, workers' hands, and hygiene conditions through self-inspection, allowing them to cook with heightened awareness.

In particular, it is possible to visually compare and confirm the reduction in bacterial count before and after handwashing for children, which enhances the educational effect by visually confirming the importance of proper handwashing.

In Gochang-gun, group education for food poisoning prevention, which was conducted for collective dining facility workers in previous years, has been replaced with online education as it could not be held this year.

A Gochang-gun official said, “We will do our best to thoroughly manage hygiene in food hygiene establishments, including welfare facilities and children's dining facilities that are vulnerable to food poisoning, to prevent food poisoning accidents.”
