Ulsan City Provides Food Poisoning Prevention Diagnostic Consulting to 110 Restaurants and Group Meal Facilities

Customized Hygiene Diagnosis and Technical Guidance Support Project

MFDS Selected as 'Best in Preventive Management' 5 Times

Ulsan City is conducting a food poisoning prevention project targeting restaurants and cafeterias.

On the 23rd, Ulsan City announced that it is promoting the "2023 Food Poisoning Prevention Diagnostic Consulting" from June to September.

This year's project targets a total of 110 locations: △ 30 group cafeterias such as corporate cafeterias △ 80 restaurants handling high-consumption cooked foods prone to food poisoning in summer, such as gimbap, noodles, and raw fish.

The targeted facilities will undergo △ hygiene status and contamination measurement △ customized hygiene diagnosis and technical guidance △ satisfaction surveys △ verification of improvements and supplementary measures.

This project is divided into two phases, with Ulsan Science University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation and public officials visiting the facilities to carry out the work.

In the first phase, from June to July, the Ulsan Science University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation visited the sites and inspected hygiene management at each stage from ingredient inspection to storage, cooking, and serving according to the "Food Poisoning Prevention Diagnostic Consulting Evaluation Sheet." The inspection team diagnosed contamination risks and suggested "improvements and supplementary measures" to the workers.

In particular, to encourage workers' awareness of hygiene improvement, the "bacterial contamination (ATP) measurement" of items such as knives, cutting boards, and refrigerator handles was conducted so that workers could actually check contamination levels.

The second phase will take place from the 25th to September, during which hygiene-related departments of districts and counties will visit the sites to verify whether the "improvements and supplementary measures" suggested in the first consulting phase are being continuously implemented, and will also provide additional customized hygiene education.

An official from Ulsan City said, "The goal of this project is to raise food safety awareness and hygiene management capabilities and reduce the occurrence of food poisoning."

Since 2015, Ulsan City has been conducting this "consulting project" and was selected as the "Best Institution for Food Poisoning Prevention Management" by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety five times from 2017 to 2022.
