The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety advised that holiday foods are cooked in large quantities unlike usual, so you should prepare ingredients carefully, store and cook them carefully.
When purchasing food ingredients at traditional markets and marts, it is important to purchase food that does not need to be refrigerated or frozen, agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables, processed foods that require refrigeration and freezing such as ham, fish cake, and meat and shellfish within an hour.
In addition, after purchasing by carefully checking the appearance, packaging condition, consumption period, and storage method, it should be transported in a cool state using an ice box and stored cold until just before cooking. During the Chuseok holiday, when the number of people coming home and returning home rapidly increases, changes in temperature and humidity can lead to rapid growth of bacteria such as food poisoning bacteria if food is stored at room temperature for a long time, so it is recommended to eat cooked holiday food or food purchased at rest areas as soon as possible and refrigerate when stored.
When it is unavoidable to transport food for a long time, use a cooling bag, an ice bag, etc. as much as possible, and make sure to reheat and consume it.
In addition, it is recommended to use a sanitary-grade designated business that is recognized as excellent in hygiene when using restaurants on the way home or back home. When eating food ordered and delivered outdoors, order only as much as you want so that you don't leave any leftovers, and make sure that the delivery container or packaging is not contaminated or damaged.
If you travel abroad on a long holiday, it is advisable to check in advance whether there are foods that cannot be brought in due to hygiene or quarantine depending on the travel destination, and not to take foods that deteriorate easily even if they can be brought in.
In addition, it is recommended to thoroughly manage personal hygiene to prevent food poisoning at travel destinations, while eating salads and fresh fruit juices that are consumed without heating, and to eat fully cooked food by heating as much as possible.
