Goheung-gun Operates Seafood Safety Traffic Light System

Check Radiation Safety Information by 'Traffic Light' Colors

Gohung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced on the 21st that it will simplify the radiation safety information provided by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries into a "traffic light" format and disclose it through electronic billboards on the streets to provide safe seafood information.

The safety traffic lights can be checked on outdoor electronic billboards in Gohung-eup (Gohung General Hospital rotary), Doyang-eup (Eup Community Center, Badajeongwon), as well as at the Fisheries Cooperative auction market and financial branches.

In addition, to deliver fast and accurate information to residents, a seafood safety traffic light banner has been installed on the Gohung-gun website to allow real-time inspection results to be checked.

Along with this, Gohung-gun plans to expand seafood radiation inspections starting this month. It has requested radiation inspections by collecting seafood at the production and sales stages from the Mokpo branch of the Jeollanam-do Marine and Fisheries Science Institute, and all seafood radiation inspection results at the production and distribution stages until last month were judged to be safe.

A county official said, "As residents' concerns about seafood radiation increase day by day due to the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean, we will continue to conduct seafood safety inspections to ensure that seafood can be consumed with confidence."
