O Yu-kyung, Director of MFDS, Visits Large Mart... Personally Oversees Seafood Management

Oh Yu-kyung, Commissioner of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, inspected the safety management status of seafood during the distribution stage. This was to alleviate public concerns about domestically distributed seafood.

On the 21st, Commissioner Oh visited the Lotte Mart Seoul Station branch located in Jung-gu, Seoul. She informed consumers about the safety of Korean seafood and listened to the difficulties faced by business operators striving for seafood safety management. She also discussed with distribution companies measures such as posting the 'Radioactivity Test Confirmation QR Code' at seafood sales counters, allowing consumers to easily check the government's radioactivity test results using smartphones when purchasing seafood.

Commissioner Oh stated, "We plan to thoroughly manage the radioactivity safety of seafood until our citizens feel assured about the safety of domestic seafood," adding, "As public interest in the safety of domestic seafood has increased, we will strengthen on-site communication to hear the opinions of consumers and business operators." She also urged, "Since there is a high risk of food poisoning due to recent heavy rains and heatwaves, please strictly follow food poisoning prevention guidelines."
