Food Culture Model Streets to Be Created in 10 Municipalities across Gyeonggi Province

Food culture model streets where residents can safely enjoy delicious and nutritious meals are expected to be established in 10 municipalities across Gyeonggi Province.

According to Gyeonggi Province on the 22nd, the province is currently pursuing a project to create "food culture model streets where people can eat with confidence" in 10 municipalities, with an investment of approximately 2 billion won this year, targeting areas with high concentrations of restaurants.

The purpose of this project is to provide high-quality, nutritious, and delicious well-being meals through the supply of quality food ingredients and to create distinctive and healthy food culture where consumers can eat with confidence at reasonable prices.

To this end, the province is consulting with the Agricultural Policy Bureau on ways to supply quality food ingredients to restaurants in model streets and plans to develop model menus that will satisfy both customers and restaurant owners.

Additionally, the province plans to improve hygiene in all restaurants' kitchens, restrooms, and other internal and external facilities in the model streets and to refurbish restaurant signage with artistic and distinctive designs.

The province will certify model streets as "safe and healthy food streets" once it determines that the creation of meals available at reasonable prices and with confidence to residents is complete.

Currently, Suwon, Ansan, Siheung, Yangju, and Anyang have applied for the model street creation project. The province plans to complete the selection of recipients by the end of next month and begin full-scale project implementation.
