[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City will conduct intensive inspections from the 12th to the 16th targeting bakeries and cake manufacturing and sales businesses expected to see increased consumption ahead of Christmas and the year-end holidays.

The inspection targets a total of 66 places, including 14 food manufacturing and processing businesses that produce bakery products and have not been inspected in the past three years or have a history of administrative sanctions, as well as instant sales and manufacturing processing businesses and cafes that sell cakes.

The city plans to focus on inspecting these businesses for ▲ hygiene management such as cleaning and disinfecting manufacturing facilities, equipment, and tools ▲ compliance with preservation and distribution standards for raw materials and finished products ▲ storage of unregistered or unlabeled products and expired raw materials ▲ preparation of legal documents such as production and work logs, raw material receipt and issue ledgers, and transaction records ▲ and violations of labeling standards.

Businesses found violating the Food Sanitation Act or deemed unsuitable during sampling and inspection will face administrative measures. In particular, serious violations or intentional and habitual food violations will be subject to prosecution.

An Incheon City official stated, "We will thoroughly conduct pre-hygiene management inspections on foods that citizens consume frequently due to timing and seasonality to ensure safe food production and supply."
