Daejeon City Intensifies Crackdown on 'Origin Labeling' of Seasonal Foods Before Chuseok

Daejeon City will conduct intensive inspections on the origin labeling of seasonal foods before the Chuseok holiday.

On the 24th, the Daejeon Civil Affairs Police announced that from September to October, together with the Chungnam Branch of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, they will carry out intensive inspections on the origin labeling of holiday foods such as rice cakes, traditional Korean sweets, and Korean beef distributed and sold in the market.

The inspections will focus on compliance with expiration dates, violations of livestock product standards, and unauthorized business operations.

Additionally, hygiene management of delivery food establishments, the hygiene status of kitchens in general restaurants, and compliance with food preservation standards will also be included in the inspection targets.

The Civil Affairs Police plan to crack down on activities that emit foul odors and dust in densely populated residential areas during the inspection period.

Previously, since last month, the Civil Affairs Police have been conducting crackdowns on public nuisance offenses targeting food service businesses such as general restaurants and bakeries, as well as the pharmaceutical sector within the jurisdiction, uncovering a total of 14 violation cases.

Yang Seung-chan, Director of the Daejeon Citizen Safety Office, stated, “We will crack down on acts that threaten citizen safety and take strict measures according to laws and principles for any violations detected.”
