Business A, located in Yuseong-gu, was caught selling dried pollack heads and dried pollack skins, which are other processed seafood products used as kimchi ingredients, in the market by only labeling the country of origin without displaying all required labeling information.

Business B, located in Seo-gu, failed to display some labeling information such as the manufacturer and product manufacturing number of the raw materials during the repackaging and sale process of anchovy fish sauce, sand lance fish sauce, and seasoned salted seafood like squid jeotgal.

The Special Judicial Police of Daejeon City will continue crackdowns targeting food manufacturing and sales businesses producing ingredients for kimchi until mid-next month when the kimchi-making season ends. Businesses found violating regulations will be investigated and referred to the prosecution and administrative sanctions will be requested according to relevant laws.

Yang Seung-chan, Director of the Citizen Safety Office of Daejeon City, said, “We will strive to ensure food safety, focusing on foods with increased consumption depending on the season and timing.”
