The main inspection items include ▲false or missing origin labeling ▲violations of labeling methods ▲whether origin is separately labeled in mixed sales ▲and whether origin verification documents are kept.

An official from the Suwon Agricultural Technology Center stated, "We plan to focus on managing gifts and ritual items that are intensively sold ahead of the Lunar New Year so that consumers can purchase agricultural, livestock, and seafood products with confidence," emphasizing, "We will strive to create a distribution environment that satisfies both producers and consumers."
