[Agricultural, Fisheries, and Livestock Newspaper=Reporter Nara Park] As the city of Gongju (Mayor Choi Won-cheol) enters the full kimchi-making season, it is strengthening safety inspections of agricultural products sold at local food direct sales sites to ensure the safety of kimchi ingredients. This measure aims to enhance the management system from the supply stage to ensure that citizens can purchase kimchi ingredients with peace of mind. The city will intensively collect a total of 60 items of vegetables commonly used for kimchi, such as cabbage, radish, young radish, garlic, and ginger, from local food direct sales sites by the 28th, and conduct residual pesticide inspections. The inspection will not only check if the pesticide residue exceeds the allowable standards but also verify compliance with organic certification and the Agricultural Product Quality Management System (GAP).
