[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lotte Mart announced on the 16th that three warehouse discount stores in the Honam region?Gwangju Sangmu Branch, Mokpo Branch, and Jeonju Songcheon Branch?of its ‘Max’ brand have obtained HACCP certification for their meat processing facilities.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a preventive food safety management system designed to provide consumers with safe and fresh products through a systematic approach to hazard prevention.

In warehouse discount stores, the meat section is highly sensitive to safety and freshness while also accounting for a significant portion of sales. Among Lotte Mart Max’s categories, meat sales represent about 20%, the highest proportion.

To celebrate obtaining HACCP certification for its meat processing facilities, Lotte Mart Max will hold a discount event for two weeks from the 18th to the 31st. Domestic pork belly and neck meat of grade 1 or higher (100g) will be available for 1,880 KRW when paid with event cards, while U.S. braised short ribs (100g) and Australian grain-fed chuck flap tail (100g) will be sold for 1,980 KRW and 2,180 KRW, respectively.

Shin Jubaek, head of Lotte Mart Max division, said, “We obtained HACCP certification for the important meat processing section to operate Max stores more reliably. Starting with the Honam region stores, we will continue to strive to provide safe food at other stores as well.”
