[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Comprehensive food company Ourhome announced on the 19th that its Food Research Center Analysis Research Team has obtained certification as an agricultural product safety inspection agency from the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service. This is the first certification in the industry for a group meal service and food ingredient company.

Ourhome was designated as Safety Inspection Agency No. 64 by the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service in accordance with Article 64 of the "Agricultural and Fishery Products Quality Control Act" and Article 11, Paragraph 4 of the "Regulations on Labeling of Genetically Modified Agricultural and Fishery Products and Safety Investigation of Agricultural and Fishery Products." The certification is valid until July 2024.

With this certification, Ourhome can now conduct accredited testing and inspection processes to ensure the safety of its products and purchased ingredients. They will carry out inspections for residual pesticides, heavy metals, and radiation in agricultural products to thoroughly prevent non-compliant products from circulating in the market, thereby strengthening the supply system for safe food.

Additionally, Ourhome will be able to conduct safety inspections on behalf of government agencies and external companies. It is expected to contribute to securing the safety of agricultural products distributed domestically.

Meanwhile, besides obtaining this inspection agency certification, Ourhome's Food Research Center has also been designated as an international accredited testing agency (KOLAS), and as an inspection agency for food testing, livestock product testing, rice and brown rice inspection, and norovirus investigation in groundwater.
