Hampyeong County in Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that it has been selected as an excellent institution in the "2024 Food Culture Improvement City and County Evaluation" organized by Jeollanam-do, and received an institutional commendation.

The food culture improvement evaluation is conducted by Jeollanam-do to select outstanding cities and counties that have contributed to raising the hygiene standards of local restaurants.

Jeollanam-do comprehensively evaluated 22 cities and counties in the province based on a total of 21 quantitative indicators across 8 categories, including the establishment of a food culture improvement system, promotion and education for food poisoning prevention, and the creation of a safe dining environment.

This year, Hampyeong County focused on expanding and promoting the restaurant hygiene rating system, supporting facility improvements for hygiene businesses, and guiding and inspecting children's favorite foods, which contributed to the creation of a safe and hygienic environment. For these efforts, the county was highly evaluated and selected as an "excellent institution."

In particular, Hampyeong County achieved a notable milestone last July by being finally selected as the target site for the Namdo Food Street public contest project, establishing itself as a leading region in Honam's food culture.

With this selection, Hampyeong County has been recognized as an excellent institution for nine consecutive years since 2016 and has secured a project budget of 15 million won.

Lee Sangik, the governor of Hampyeong County, said, "We will continue to attract more tourists and revitalize the local economy by improving a healthy and safe food culture," and added, "We will carefully and systematically develop Hampyeong County's Namdo Food Street by reflecting the diverse opinions of residents."
