Jeonnam Province Makes All-Out Effort to Ensure Hygiene and Safety in Delivery Restaurants

Intensive Inspection of Hygiene Product Manufacturers Until the 26th

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province has taken steps to ensure hygiene and safety in delivery food establishments.

On the 23rd, the province announced that due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in the use of disposable items in delivery food establishments, it will conduct a focused inspection of hygiene products circulating in the market and 45 manufacturing sites by the 26th.

The inspection will be jointly carried out by 50 employees from the province and city/county offices. Hygiene towels, wet wipes for food service establishments, disposable paper cups, paper napkins, and other items mainly used in delivery food establishments will be collected and sent to the Jeonnam Health and Environment Research Institute for testing.

The main inspection items include ▲false labeling of manufacturing date and content volume that deceive consumers ▲whether self-quality inspections and product manufacturing reports have been conducted ▲compliance with business operator obligations.

In particular, safety management will be comprehensively inspected for five items including cleaning agents, rinse aids, and disposable diapers, which pose concerns about chemical exposure at hygiene product manufacturing sites.

Jeonnam Province plans to take administrative actions and file complaints against violating businesses based on the inspection results, and immediately seize or dispose of non-compliant products.

Along with this, compliance with quarantine rules will also be inspected.

Gwak Jungil, Director of the Food and Drug Division of Jeonnam Province, said, “We will continue inspections so that residents can use hygiene products, which have increased in use due to COVID-19, with confidence.”

In 2020, Jeonnam Province inspected 45 hygiene product manufacturing sites, issued administrative actions such as warnings to two sites, and all collected test results were judged as ‘compliant.’
