Delivery Food Safety Inspection Results 'All Suitable' ... Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute Inspects 64 Cases Including Cooked Foods and Packaging Containers

Ulsan Institute of Health and Environment Research.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Ulsan City Health and Environment Research Institute conducted safety inspections on delivery restaurant prepared foods and packaging containers throughout this year, and all were found to be 'compliant' with standards and regulations, indicating they are safe.

The institute carried out the inspections on a total of 64 cases, including delivery restaurant prepared foods, cooking utensils, packaging containers, and sesame oil used in gimbap specialty stores, collected and requested by the city and district/county offices, as the number of citizens using delivery food increased due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and changes in consumption patterns.

Starting with Chinese food in April, the inspections covered 40 delivery restaurant prepared food cases such as jokbal (pig's trotters) and bossam (boiled pork) in May, gimbap in October, and chicken in November, as well as 10 cooking utensils. Tests for food poisoning bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus all showed compliance.

Additionally, tests on 10 delivery packaging containers for lead and potassium permanganate consumption, and on 4 sesame oil samples used in gimbap specialty stores for acid value and benzo[a]pyrene, all passed the safety standards.

An institute official stated, “We will continue to focus on inspections reflecting changing food consumption patterns to do our best in preventing food poisoning and other food-related accidents.”
