Other Operations

When selling seafood, peddling, restaurants, etc., permission based on the Food Sanitation Law and the Kanagawa Prefecture Ordinance is required. For these facilities in the market, we conduct preliminary consultation on drawings, examine business license applications, and conduct permission surveys on facilities.

In addition to holding seminars on food hygiene for business operators and market visitors in the market that handle food, we regularly issue inspection reports, and distribute food hygiene-related flyers to market participants.

Due to the revision of the Food Sanitation Law, on June 1, 2020, "Hygiene management in accordance with HACCP" was institutionalized (mandatory) for all food and other businesses in principle. Since there is a one-year transitional measure period, all food and other businesses, including restaurants and retail stores, must perform "hygiene management in accordance with HACCP" by June 1, 2021.
In Yokohama City, following the institutionalization of HACCP, we hold seminars on "hygiene management incorporating the concept of HACCP" for small businesses in the city.

Through inspection work, we conduct deeper research on things that are considered important for food hygiene, and use them for monitoring guidance and inspection work.
