Suwon City will inspect 60% of all cafeterias by the 22nd of this month, the spring semester, through an inspection team composed of 10 members divided into 5 groups. Additionally, from August 28 to September 15, the fall semester, a full inspection will be conducted including establishments not inspected during the spring semester.

The main inspection items are ▲ compliance with expiration dates ▲ implementation of health checkups for cooks and operators ▲ operation of groundwater disinfection devices (automatic chlorine injectors) ▲ guidance and promotion for food poisoning prevention ▲ washing and disinfecting of utensils (removal of residual detergent), among others.

The city will collect and test frequently provided ready-made products, non-heated foods, fresh convenience foods, and food-use water (groundwater) deemed to pose a risk during inspections for food poisoning bacteria and other contaminants.
