[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 31st that it will conduct food poisoning prevention inspections at 506 daycare center group meal facilities from June 1 to the end of July ahead of the summer season.

In light of the need for focused management of facilities accommodating children and infants, who are vulnerable health groups, following the 2020 'Ansan Daycare Center Food Poisoning Incident,' Gyeongbuk Province explained that more than half of the facilities will be inspected in the first half of the year.

This inspection will be conducted together with the childcare departments of cities and counties. Priority inspection targets are places where food safety violations or food poisoning incidents have been detected in the past three years, while kindergartens and school group meal facilities will be inspected separately during the September school reopening.

Kim Jin-hyun, Director of the Welfare and Health Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, stated, "Through this hygiene inspection, we will do our best to create a safer meal environment to prevent food poisoning in summer and to ensure that infants and young children with vulnerable immunity can grow up healthy and bright."
