According to the West Sea Coast Guard Agency on the 6th, a joint government special inspection of imported seafood was conducted for two months starting May 1st. However, due to recent social interest and concerns regarding imported seafood related to the Japanese government's discharge of treated nuclear wastewater into the ocean, a second special inspection of imported seafood is being carried out to alleviate public anxiety.

The Coast Guard has organized an on-site support team for origin inspections to continuously secure public trust in seafood safety and to establish a seafood distribution system.

During this period, unannounced visits will be conducted targeting 1,345 seafood handling businesses in the Jeonnam region, together with government and local government inspection teams, focusing on inspecting and cracking down on origin labeling of key seafood products.

Additionally, special inspections reflecting seasonal characteristics such as the Chuseok and kimchi-making seasons will be conducted concurrently.

Kim Inchang, Chief of the West Sea Regional Coast Guard Agency, emphasized, “Through the special inspection of seafood, we will block violations of seafood origin labeling and alleviate public concerns.”
