Jeong Food, which produces and sells the soy milk "Vegemil," said on the 15th that its Cheongju plant has obtained Global HACCP certification.
Global HACCP is a food safety management system that the Ministery of Food and Drug Safety introduced in Aug. last year. It reflects changes in domestic and overseas food manufacturing environments and global standards. In addition to the existing HACCP standards, international evaluation items such as ▲ food defense ▲ food fraud prevention ▲ food safety culture ▲ food safety management system were added.
Jeong Food received Global HACCP certification from the Korea Institute for Food Safety Management Accreditation for a total of 14 categories produced at the Cheongju plant, including processed soy milk, mixed beverages, and formulas for growth. Earlier, the Jeong Food Cheongju plant also obtained Smart HACCP certification last year. With this, Jeong Food proved its food safety management system and manufacturing capabilities that meet international standards.
A Jeong Food official said, "With the recent acquisition of Global HACCP certification following the existing HACCP and Smart HACCP certifications, our systematic food safety management system has been recognized once again," and added, "We will continue to present products that consumers can trust through even stricter quality control."
