Yeosu-si Expands Food Sharing Campaign to "Lead Safe Dining Culture"

Distribution of Individual Side Dish Bowls and Tongs to 170 General Restaurants Near Tourist Attractions

Ongoing Public-Private Joint Food Culture Improvement 'Promotion Campaign' and More

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 26th that it will expand the "Sharing Food" campaign to create a safe and clean dining culture and prevent food poisoning.

This project was promoted to establish a safe food culture centered on personal quarantine in response to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which made the food culture vulnerable to infectious diseases.

To this end, the city will spend 52 million KRW this year to distribute individual side dish bowls and tongs to 170 general restaurants around tourist attractions.

In addition, continuous monitoring will be conducted, and joint public-private campaigns to improve food culture will be carried out in cooperation with the Yeosu City Hygiene Association and Consumer Food Hygiene Inspectors.

Last year, Yeosu City distributed individual side dish bowls and tongs to 160 model restaurants and safe restaurants, receiving great responses from food businesses and users. This was regarded as an opportunity to alleviate the management difficulties of the dining industry caused by COVID-19 and the anxiety about using restaurants.

A city official said, "If the culture of sharing food is established, it is expected to greatly help prevent COVID-19 and manage personal hygiene," adding, "We hope everyone will participate in daily practices such as sharing food to establish a safe and clean food culture."
