The Yangju City Children and Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center (Director Kim Jeong-yeon) has been implementing the "Hygienic Meal Squad" project targeting 16 social welfare facilities since April.

This project is conducted twice annually, in the first and second halves of the year, focusing on five key items: ▲ hand bacteria test (ATP) for cooks (workers) within the facility ▲ temperature measurement of refrigerators and freezers ▲ illumination measurement in the kitchen ▲ Escherichia coli test on cutting boards used for cooking ▲ cleanliness test (ATP) of water purifiers.

Through this specialized project, the importance of handwashing for meal service cooks and workers is emphasized, raising awareness about the need to handle food hygienically.

Additionally, the contamination levels before and after disinfecting the water purifier’s faucet used in the facilities were measured, providing an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of cleaning and disinfection.

A worker participating in the project said, “In the With-Corona era, I thought personal hygiene was well maintained in daily life, but through this inspection, I realized once again the importance of hygiene,” adding, “I will be able to practice safer hygiene management going forward.”

Director Kim Jeong-yeon stated, “The Yangju City Children and Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center will do its best to provide education on hygiene and safety management in meal service facilities so that safe and secure meals can be offered at social welfare facilities in the area.”
