[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Ourhome announced on the 30th that officials from the Seoul Regional Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter Seoul Regional FDA) visited the Magok Food Research Institute on the 28th.

This visit by the Seoul Regional FDA was conducted to inspect accredited testing and inspection institutions within the jurisdiction and to listen to corporate suggestions in order to create a safe food environment in Korea. Attendees included Kim Younggyun, head of the Seoul Regional FDA, Jang Hwajong, director of the Food Safety Management Division, Jeon Daehun, director of the Food Standards Analysis Division, Ourhome’s President Kim Taejun, Food Research Institute Director Oh Jiyoung, and Food Safety Center Director Lee Sumi.

Ourhome welcomed the Seoul Regional FDA delegation by introducing the accreditation status and capabilities of the accredited testing and inspection institutions held by the Food Safety Center within the Food Research Institute and provided a briefing on COVID-19 quarantine activities at Ourhome headquarters and outsourced employee cafeterias.

At the visit site, Kim Younggyun, head of the Seoul Regional FDA, urged, “Please make every effort to ensure food safety and prevent food poisoning for the health and safety of the public,” and added, “Given the serious situation of COVID-19 spread, please also strengthen quarantine management for employees.”

Meanwhile, in July, Ourhome became the first in the group catering industry to obtain certification as an agricultural product safety inspection institution from the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, designating it as an accredited testing institution for residual pesticides, heavy metals, and radiation in agricultural products.
