Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will conduct a special hygiene inspection to prevent food safety accidents in preparation for the Chuseok holiday.

The inspection targets 1,620 general restaurants, focusing on food service establishments and areas with high foot traffic such as Migaro, Konkuk University Flavor Street, and Yangkkochi Street. Given the extended holiday period this Chuseok, extra attention will be paid to food safety management.

The main inspection items include ▲ compliance with food ingredient storage regulations ▲ hygienic management of cooking facilities and utensils ▲ adherence to personal hygiene rules by cooking staff, checking overall hygiene management status. Additionally, 2,000 self-inspection checklists will be distributed to business owners to help them manage food safety on their own.

The inspection will be conducted over five days starting from the 18th of this month. Twenty-seven teams composed of Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center staff and consumer food hygiene inspectors will be organized to maintain close communication and strive to create a safe food culture.

To this end, a pre-education session was held on the 15th for the joint public-private inspection team. Fifty-four staff members and food hygiene inspectors thoroughly prepared by familiarizing themselves with the main points of hygiene inspection at business establishments.

On this day, District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “I would like to express my gratitude to everyone participating in the inspection activities with a sense of responsibility for food safety,” and encouraged, “Please carefully inspect to ensure that all residents can have a healthy holiday without any food poisoning incidents during the holiday period.”
