On April 20, Seongsan-gu conducted a lecture on food safety management at the 2026 Hygiene Training for Existing Operators of General Restaurants, hosted by the Seongsan-gu branch of the Korea Foodservice Industry Association’s Gyeongnam Chapter.

Existing operators of general restaurants are required to complete three hours of hygiene training each year. Failure to do so will result in a fine.

The main topics of the lecture included major revisions to the Food Sanitation Act in 2026, key compliance matters for the handling of food and obligations for business operators, administrative disposition standards under the Food Sanitation Act, and prevention of food poisoning, with a focus on improving business owners' hygiene management capabilities.

Kim Sooyoon, Head of the Culture and Sanitation Division, stated, "We hope that the hygiene awareness of general restaurant operators regarding food safety will be elevated. We will continue to do our best to create a safe food environment in the future."
