[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] On the 25th, Daegu City visited companies certified as Daegu Excellent Food, recognized as representative local foods with safe and excellent quality, to check the production process, communicate with the representatives, and present plaques in celebration of the New Year.

Daegu Excellent Foods, which combine quality and safety comparable to large corporations, include five products: red bean bread from Hongdudang Co., Ltd., Palgongsan Premium Kimchi from Palgong Kimchi Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, traditional flat dumplings from Seong Gyeong-sun Mandu, Pungguk Noodles from Punggukmyeon Co., Ltd., and cheese tteokbokki from Youngpoong Agricultural Corporation Co., Ltd. The certification period is two years, having been certified on November 8, 2022.

In fact, with increasing interest in food safety and health, consumers are increasingly checking certification marks such as HACCP, and considering quality and safety accounts for 29% of purchase criteria. Accordingly, to enhance consumer trust and revitalize the local economy, the Daegu Excellent Food certification project was promoted.

Status of 5 Daegu Excellent Food Certified Companies.

For certified products, Daegu City has provided the excellent food certification mark, promoted consumption through public institution collective cafeterias, various websites and electronic billboards, supported entry into large supermarkets, and improved product packaging design.

This year, to expand the initiative, the city visited companies, presented plaques, checked production processes, and held communication sessions with representatives on the importance of providing safe food and the development of the local food industry.

Leveraging various supports from Daegu City, the five companies plan to lead the approximately 1,000 local food manufacturers and expand their sales channels nationwide and overseas, promoting Daegu Excellent Food.

Kim Heung-jun, Director of the Hygiene Policy Division of Daegu City, said, “Daegu Excellent Food is a representative local food that is not inferior to large corporation products. We will maintain constant communication with these company representatives to actively review proposals and support necessary areas so that local food companies can serve as role models. We will do our best in discovering, certifying, and managing Daegu Excellent Food for the development of the local food industry.”
