Daejeon City Conducts Hygiene Inspections of Restaurants Near National Parks and Amusement Parks

Daejeon City announced on the 5th that it will conduct hygiene inspections from the 5th to the 13th targeting food service establishments near national parks, amusement parks, highway rest areas, and bus terminals, where visitors increase during the autumn season.

The hygiene inspections will be carried out by food hygiene inspectors organized by each autonomous district (in teams of two), focusing on 90 establishments within multi-use facilities, including food trucks, that have not been inspected in the past two years or have a history of non-compliance.

The main inspection items include ▲ compliance with facility standards such as hygiene management of the kitchen and installation of pest control facilities ▲ adherence to storage temperatures for refrigerated and frozen foods ▲ hygienic handling of food ▲ use of food containers and utensils ▲ whether expired foods have been used or stored for sale.

During the inspection period, Daejeon City will also collect cooked foods such as Tanghulu, sandwiches, hot bars, and hamburgers prepared and sold at terminals, amusement parks, and food trucks to test whether they meet standards and specifications.

Minor violations that are not directly related to food hygiene will be corrected on-site through guidance, while serious violations will be subject to administrative action.

Jo Eun-sook, head of the Food and Drug Safety Division of Daejeon City, said, “We will devote all efforts to hygiene inspections so that autumn outing visitors can safely enjoy outdoor activities,” and added, “We ask operators of multi-use facilities to strengthen hygiene management through thorough pre-management to ensure safe food is provided.”
