Operation of Public-Private Joint Inspection Team from 6th to 13th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 4th that it will inspect food hygiene and COVID-19 prevention measures at multi-use facilities from the 6th to the 13th.

The initiative was launched to prevent the spread of infections due to increased movement ahead of the October holidays and the autumn outing season.

A public-private joint inspection team, consisting of food safety officials from five autonomous districts and consumer food hygiene monitors, will conduct inspections targeting food handling establishments such as restaurants, entertainment facilities, and fast food outlets operating in places expected to be crowded with citizens, including national parks, amusement parks, train stations, terminals, and airports.

The inspection items include ▲sale or use of expired products ▲reuse of food ▲hygienic handling of food ▲compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

Additionally, ready-to-eat foods frequently consumed by citizens, such as gimbap, hot bars, tteokbokki, and hamburgers, prepared and served at the inspected restaurants, will be collected for focused testing for food poisoning bacteria contamination.

Seong Yuseok, head of the Food Safety Division of the city, said, “During the October holidays, we ask for active cooperation in prevention by refraining from unnecessary travel and gatherings and thoroughly following personal quarantine rules.”
