SEOUL, Sept. 2 (Korea Bizwire) — The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said Thursday it will begin a trial that involves adding doors to open display cases used to showcase refrigerated foods.
Lotte Super, a supermarket chain of South Korean retail giant Lotte, will be installing doors on its refrigerated display cases at a new branch in Seoul’s Jungnang District.
Based on the project’s performance, Lotte Super will add doors to refrigerated display cases at 166 branch stores throughout the country.
Based on the experience garnered from the project, the ministry will use the results as a case study for promoting the addition of doors to display cases at supermarkets.
The government has been promoting the use of doors on refrigerated display cases since March of this year to ensure food safety and save energy to contribute to efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.
