GS Retail announced on the 2nd that it has been selected as an offline distribution company for the ‘Private Participation Seafood Traceability Pilot Project’ to ensure seafood safety and signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is implementing a seafood traceability system so that consumers can purchase aquatic products with confidence by transparently disclosing the distribution process of aquatic products. This pilot project of the aquatic product traceability system was implemented with the participation of the private sector to activate aquatic product traceability information led by distributors and processing companies and to strengthen the substance of the system, breaking away from the current aquatic product traceability which focus on the producer. system.
As a result, consumers purchasing fishery products from GS Retail can check history information ▲ producer ▲ production period ▲ place of production ▲ processing company.
You can check the aquatic product history system by scanning the QR code attached to the aquatic product. GS Retail plans to expand the number of products marked with the seafood traceability system to 10 or more this year, starting with the mackerel platter in June. The company plans to promote the seafood tracking system to consumers through GS The Fresh and SNS stores.
Chung Chun-ho, head of GS Retail’s Super Business Department, said, “I decided to participate in this pilot project to provide accurate information about the history of aquatic products.” We will be holding various activities to showcase aquatic products.”
