Repeated 'Bige Samgyeopsal' Controversy... Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to Conduct Livestock Product Quality Inspection
From the 22nd, targeting 10,000 livestock product processing and distribution companies
The government has decided to conduct quality inspections on livestock products following controversies over excessively fatty Samgyeopsal being distributed. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will carry out special quality inspections and guidance targeting 10,000 livestock processing and distribution companies from the 22nd of this month until the 8th of next month.
About 2,850 personnel, including local government officials, employees from the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, and the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, will participate in the inspections. Alongside special crackdowns on the Livestock Traceability System during the Lunar New Year peak season, they will conduct surveys and inform each company about quality management methods such as trimming standards, removal of excessively fatty parts, and inspection procedures.

Special training on compliance with the 'Samgyeopsal Quality Management Manual' will also be conducted. Compliance will be checked at approximately 230 processing plants and 1,500 sales outlets operated by regional Nonghyup and Chukhyeop cooperatives, along with special training for managers.
