Jang-an District Conducts Joint Inspection of Defective Foods for Valentine's Day from Feb. 23

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young Reporter] Ahead of Valentine's Day on February 14th, Jang-an District in Suwon City will conduct a joint inspection with food sanitation inspectors for four days starting from the 23rd to prevent the distribution of defective products such as chocolate.

The inspection targeting food service establishments in the district will focus on ▲falsification or alteration of expiration dates and sale of expired products ▲display or sale of products that violate labeling standards, including unlabeled items ▲verification of business operators' compliance with Food Sanitation Act requirements.

Based on the results, minor violations will be corrected on-site, while intentional violators will be prosecuted and subject to strong administrative penalties to prevent the distribution of defective and substandard products in advance.

A district official stated, "We will not only conduct inspections but also raise awareness about safe food consumption among both sellers and consumers," and urged, "When selecting products, consumers should not be swayed by advertisements from related companies, but should check the expiration date, food ingredients, and labeling standards on product packaging before making purchases."
