This inspection is part of intensive safety management measures aimed at supplying safe agricultural products, in line with the increase in sales and consumption of spring vegetables that are popular among citizens.

The city plans to focus on collecting spring vegetables such as bomdong, shepherd's purse, and wild chives, whose consumption has recently surged due to rising temperatures.

The collected agricultural products will be tested for safety, including residual pesticides, at the Western Agricultural Products Inspection Center in accordance with the 'Standards and Specifications for Food.' Any agricultural products found to be non-compliant based on the inspection results will be immediately withdrawn from sale and subject to recall and disposal measures.

Nah Kihyo, Head of the Health and Sanitation Division, stated, "We will strengthen safety management so that citizens can consume with confidence through proactive collection inspections of agricultural products whose consumption increases in spring," adding, "We will continue to regularly inspect foods that are especially popular each season."
