An external expert with field experience in food hygiene and HACCP delivered lectures focusing on real-life cases. Participants were also provided with the "Hygiene Management Guide," which includes hygiene management rules and methods for managing legal documents.

Gyeonggi Province expects that this training will improve companies' understanding of legally required labeling items such as product names, food types, ingredient names, and nutritional information. By familiarizing themselves with detailed labeling standards for each item, companies can reduce administrative penalties resulting from omissions or mislabeling. Enhancing foreign substance control at each stage of the manufacturing process is also expected to strengthen the autonomous hygiene management system of food manufacturing and processing companies in the province.

Jung Yeon-pyo, Director of Food Safety at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This training focused on labeling standards and foreign substance management response methods that food manufacturing and processing companies can immediately apply at the field level. Gyeonggi Province will continue to enhance companies' autonomous hygiene management capabilities and create a food safety environment that residents can trust."
