[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Jeonnam Muan-gun (Governor Kim San) announced on the 8th that it will conduct a special inspection of the livestock traceability system targeting 156 places, including livestock product sales businesses and meat packaging processing businesses, ahead of the upcoming Chuseok holiday.

This hygiene inspection will take place over 9 days from the 9th to the 17th, and the county will form a joint inspection team with honorary livestock product hygiene monitors to focus on businesses that have not been inspected in the past year.

The main inspection items include whether there is unreported manufacturing or sales, compliance with livestock product labeling and preservation standards, handling of expired products, implementation status of each stage of the livestock traceability system, and other compliance matters for livestock product business operators.

In addition, the county plans to provide guidance and inspection on compliance with social distancing quarantine guidelines to prevent COVID-19.

Depending on the inspection results, minor issues will be corrected on-site, and serious violations will be subject to administrative measures according to the Livestock Traceability Act and other related laws.

Governor Kim San stated, “Consumers' demand and interest in safe food are increasing,” and added, “We will do our best to alleviate the concerns of residents and create an environment where they can consume with greater confidence through livestock product inspections in preparation for the Chuseok holiday.”
