Gyeonggi Province Inspects 954 Food Establishments Near Amusement Parks... "No Violations Found"

Gyeonggi Province said that no hygiene violations were found after it and 31 cities and counties conducted inspections at 954 food-handling establishments near popular fall outing spots, including national and public parks and amusement parks, from September 7 to 30.

With group activities such as hiking club outings and family gatherings increasing during the fall foliage season, Gyeonggi Province conducted the inspections proactively, citing the high volume of group orders and bulk cooking, which could lead to greater harm if a food poisoning outbreak occurred.

He added, "We urge people to follow food poisoning prevention guidelines, such as properly storing ingredients, not only at food establishments but also at home."
