[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province will provide a regional 'Food Poisoning Index Text Notification Service' from next month until October to prevent the occurrence of food poisoning.

According to the province on the 27th, the service targets about 2,500 hygiene managers or administrators of group meal facilities with a high risk of food poisoning, such as daycare centers, social welfare facilities, sashimi restaurants, and military units. The food poisoning index for the respective region will be sent via text message to mobile phones around 9 a.m. every day (excluding weekends and holidays).

The food poisoning index is a numerical value indicating the likelihood of food poisoning based on factors such as temperature and humidity, classified into four levels: 'Interest (54 or below)', 'Caution (55-70)', 'Warning (71-85)', and 'Danger (86 or above)'.

The 'Interest' level advises caution when handling food, the 'Caution' level recommends consumption within 6 hours after cooking, the 'Warning' level within 4 hours after cooking, and the 'Danger' level recommends immediate consumption after cooking.
