'Global HACCP' is a food safety management system that systematically controls food hazards based on internationally recognized food safety standards. It comprehensively evaluates hygiene management of the manufacturing process, food security measures to prevent deliberate external contamination and hazards, and the on-site implementation of management standards.

Currently, the Chuncheon Ice Factory produces a total of 11 products, including eight types of bagged ice and three types of cup ice. Regular water quality tests and daily internal microbial tests are conducted. In addition, an integrated hygiene management system is operated, which includes the cleaning of equipment and residual water management to prevent secondary contamination in pipes, tanks, and ice-making facilities.

Furthermore, Pulmuone digitally manages and monitors in real time the core data (such as temperature, time, and sanitation status) across the entire process—from raw water management and ice making to crushing, packaging, metal detection, and shipment.

Changmin Kim, head of the Pulmuone Chuncheon Ice Factory, stated, "Since the water used in manufacturing becomes the finished ice product itself, thorough preventive hygiene management is essential. We will continue to supply ice that consumers can trust and establish ourselves as a leading food safety company recognized in the global market."
