Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) will conduct hygiene inspections of group meal facilities at 24 local children's centers from June 19 to July 3.

This is to prevent outbreaks of group infectious diseases such as food poisoning during the summer and to provide safe meals for children.

During this period, the Seongbuk-gu Office's Child and Youth Division Dream Start Team and the Seongbuk-gu Children's Meal Management Support Center will form a joint inspection team to carry out systematic and professional inspections.

An official from the district said, “As COVID-19 quarantine measures have been eased and outdoor activities have increased, cases of group food poisoning are on the rise. According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, frequent infection cases have also been reported in infant facilities. Therefore, we plan to conduct thorough hygiene inspections of meal facilities at our local children's centers.”

The inspection team will focus on the following areas: ▲ Overall operation and hygiene of meal facilities ▲ Possibility of exposure to food poisoning ▲ Storage conditions of ingredients and meal preparation status ▲ Hygiene management and health status of staff ▲ Whether hygiene education has been conducted for staff ▲ Availability of documents related to contracted meal service providers.

Based on the inspection results, any deficiencies will be addressed with on-site corrective actions and guidance on improvement directions. Furthermore, follow-up checks will be continuously conducted to ensure thorough hygiene management of children's meals.

Seongbuk-gu Mayor Lee Seung-ro stated, “We will strive to continuously manage and supervise facilities to provide our children with healthy food and a safe care environment.”
