It's fun! August 2 Nishi Ward Food Poisoning Prevention Campaign

　　On Friday, August 2, we held a food poisoning prevention campaign with the members of the Nishi Ward Food Sanitation Association at the Yokohama New City Plaza (in front of the 2nd basement floor of the Sogo Dept. Store (Shin-Toshi Hall) Yokohama store east exit of Yokohama Station).

　At the venue, we exhibited enlightenment panels, questionnaire surveys on food hygiene, food hygiene X quiz, etc. to educate residents of the city about correct hand washing methods and raising hygiene awareness to prevent food poisoning. .

　Continuing from last year, the Nishi Ward Food Sanitation Association created a paper clear file that educates about 6,400 elementary school students, nursery schools, kindergartens and other children in Nishi Ward about correct hand washing, which is the basis for preventing food poisoning. On the day of the event, a presentation ceremony was held to Principal Sato of Yokohama City Tobe Elementary School.

　There was also a concert inviting the Yokohama City Fire Music Band, and a very large number of people listened and excited the event. Many people participated in the questionnaire survey before the event started, and many people participated. I think it was a good opportunity for each home to work on food poisoning prevention.

　I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the members of the Nishi Ward Food Sanitation Association for their long-standing efforts to achieve zero food poisoning.
　We will continue to work with the Nishi Ward Food Sanitation Association to ensure food safety.
