□ The government plans to visit all salt fields, regardless of their willingness to participate, to carry out full inspections.

 ㅇ The National Fishery Products Quality Management Service has been conducting radiation tests since April for 150 salt fields that represent 50% of Korea’s total sea salt production.

  * Inspections of 82 sea salt fields were completed from April through August 7th, with no radiation detected

 ㅇ Inspections for the remaining 687 small and medium-sized salt fields by outsourced private institutions will start from August, regardless of existence of an inspection request from the companies.

 □ The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries will continue to carry out radiation inspections as planned so as to alleviate public concerns on the safety of sea salt.
