[더팩트ㅣ수원=이승호 기자] All food distributed in Gyeonggi-do and school and daycare school meal ingredients were found to be safe from radiation.
Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that last year, a total of 3,792 cases of radiation were tested for radioactivity, including 1,265 distributed foods, including seafood from wholesale markets and imported foods from Japan and Indonesia, and 2,527 food ingredients for school meals, and all were found to be compliant.
The province inspected 519 cases of seafood distributed at wholesale markets and direct sales of seafood products, 132 cases of imported fishery products and processed foods from Japan, and 25 cases of North Korean nuclear wastewater and imported products from Indonesia.
As a result, all distributed food was safe from radiation.
Since the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan in 2023, the province has been inspecting eight wholesale markets and seafood direct sales outlets in the province every year.
This year, flounder, sea bream, and mullet are included in the inspection items, and for Japanese products, sea bream, yellowtail, sauce, curry, etc. are inspected.
All 2,527 items in the field of food ingredients for school and daycare facilities were also suitable.
A total of 1,809 school meal ingredients were inspected, including 1,479 marine products, 327 agricultural products, and 3 processed foods, and a total of 718 daycare meal ingredients were inspected, including 212 agricultural products targeted for the Children’s Healthy Fruit Supply Project and 506 seafood products from key daycare center suppliers.
To ensure food safety after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in Japan in 2011, the province enacted the ‘Gyeonggi-do Ordinance on Blocking Radioactive Materials in Food Service Facilities’ in 2014 and established the Agricultural and Marine Product Safety Inspection Center in 2015.
In addition, the safety system was strengthened by establishing a radiation inspection system at the northern branch of the Gyeonggi Bodo Environmental Research Institute in 2024.
Do Young-sook, head of the agricultural and fisheries product inspection department at the Gyeonggi Provincial Health and Environment Research Institute, said, “We are conducting preemptive and continuous radioactivity tests focusing on food consumed by residents on a daily basis and food ingredients used in meals for infants, toddlers, and adolescents. We will do our best to manage food safety based on scientific testing.”
