Plans to protect food safety

In Yokohama City, based on the provisions of Article 24 of the Food Sanitation Law, in order to ensure the safety and security of citizens' food, the "Yokohama City Food Sanitation Monitoring and Guidance Plan" reflecting the opinions of citizens is formulated every year. Based on this monitoring plan, we provide information on food, conduct on-site inspections of related business facilities such as food, and inspect foods.

We raise opinions from citizens on devising Yokohama-shi food hygiene monitoring instruction plan in 2025.
In addition, business contents may change depending on decision of budget in 2025.

Therefore, we carry out on-site inspections of social welfare facilities that perform mass cooking, and provide guidance on inspection of equipment, provision promptly after cooking, and temperature management when storing.
