Yongin City to Conduct 'Origin Labeling' Guidance and Inspection Until the 30th of This Month

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province is conducting guidance and inspections on the origin labeling of high-consumption agricultural, livestock, and fishery products until the 30th in preparation for the summer vacation season.

The inspection targets are about 300 places, including 70 tourist spots such as Folk Village, Everland, and Caribbean Bay, which attract many people during the summer vacation season, as well as 230 agricultural, livestock, and fishery product stores and restaurants.

During this period, Yongin City will form an inspection team of about 20 people, including responsible public officials and honorary monitors for origin labeling of agricultural and fishery products, to conduct crackdowns.

The main inspection items include ▲ false or missing origin labeling ▲ confusing labeling for consumers ▲ whether origin-labeled receipts and transaction proof documents are kept for chicken, pork, beef, loach, octopus, eel, and other products that are highly consumed in summer.

The city plans to immediately correct minor violations on-site, and for serious violations, take legal action such as filing complaints or imposing fines according to relevant laws.

A city official said, "If you suspect false labeling when purchasing agricultural, livestock, and fishery products or eating food made with those ingredients, please report it immediately," adding, "We will thoroughly inspect so that not only citizens but also tourists can enjoy food with peace of mind."
