The Gyeonggi Provincial Government will conduct a special hygiene inspection targeting food preparation establishments at vacation spots.

From July 6 to July 28, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, together with 31 cities and counties in the province, will carry out a joint special hygiene inspection of approximately 720 food preparation and sales businesses around vacation areas, including beaches, water parks, and rest areas.

In particular, the government will conduct sampling and testing of beverages such as coffee and juice, which see a surge in consumption during this period. This is to proactively address potential risk factors and ensure a safe food environment for residents.

Additionally, leveraging the expertise of consumer food hygiene inspectors commissioned under Article 33 of the Food Sanitation Act, the provincial government will also call for special caution regarding the increasing cases of scams where fraudsters impersonate Gyeonggi public officials. Business operators are advised to check the food hygiene inspector's ID and, if in doubt, verify with the relevant hygiene management department through the local city or county call center.

Jung Yeonpyo, Director of Food Safety at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, stated, "We will thoroughly inspect the hygiene status of food establishments at rest areas and vacation destinations in advance to ensure residents have a healthy holiday." He also urged residents to pay close attention to personal hygiene to prevent food poisoning.
