The first step involves conducting radiation tests at the auction market and purchasing seafood through official distribution channels. Next, GS Retail's Seafood Processing Center (Packaging Center) conducts radiation tests twice daily on processed and packaged products. Finally, a third inspection is carried out on products being prepared for delivery at the logistics center. Additionally, monthly detailed radiation tests will be requested from a specialized radiation testing laboratory.

The seafood traceability system will be actively utilized. Consumers purchasing seafood from GS Retail can check traceability information such as the producer, production period, production location, and processing company. Starting with salted mackerel, the number of products labeled with seafood traceability information will be expanded to about 10 types this year.

A GS Retail official stated, “We are making efforts to alleviate consumers' anxiety about seafood and support fishermen who are facing difficulties due to declining consumer sentiment,” adding, “We will continue to explore various measures to secure safe food.”
