Hyundai Green Food Implements 'Summer Season Food Hygiene Special Management System'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Hyundai Green Food, a comprehensive food company affiliated with Hyundai Department Store Group, announced on the 9th that it will implement the 'Summer Food Hygiene Special Management System' from the 28th of last month until the end of September.

The 'Summer Food Hygiene Special Management System' operated by Hyundai Green Food is designed to prevent food hygiene accidents caused by rising temperatures in summer, applying strengthened hygiene management standards throughout the entire process, including raw material preprocessing, cooking, and serving.

At the 500 group meal service sites operated by Hyundai Green Food, food preparation and supply will follow an enhanced manual under the separate hygiene management strengthening guideline called 'FS Important Control Foods' , which includes suspending the use of group meal ingredients prone to spoilage in hot weather during the period or adding additional heating and cooking processes.

In addition, on-site inspections to prevent hygiene accidents will be strengthened. Professional researchers belonging to the Hygiene Safety Team under Hyundai Green Food's Food Safety Office use specialized inspection equipment such as temperature tracking devices and surface contamination meters to measure the hygiene level of each site and conduct on-site inspections to eliminate potential hygiene accident risks in advance. The inspection frequency has been increased from once a month to daily or every other day, focusing mainly on large group meal service sites.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Green Food Food Hygiene Research Institute, established in 1985, is a professional testing institution designated by the government and has been recognized for its capabilities by domestic and international testing organizations. In December last year, it was designated as an 'Excellent Testing and Inspection Institution' in the food sector by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the first time in Korea, and it has been certified as a 'KOLAS Internationally Accredited Testing Institution' for 22 years since 1998 by meeting international quality management standards.
