| description | Disposable wet wipes provided by general restaurants in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province
were evaluated for compliance with the labeling requirements and the degree of bacterial
contamination set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Of the 32 types of disposable wipes, five
types of disposable wipes did not indicate the name and location of the business office of the
manufacturer. Only 12 types of wet wipes were marked with the date of manufacture and expiration
date. Bacterial contamination was seen in 9 types of wet wipes through bacterial culture but these
were absent in the remaining 23 types (71.9%). The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test for
the 9 identified strains showed no methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS)
or multidrug-resistant bacteria. Through this study, it is recommended that the date of manufacture
and expiration date must be indicated on the surface of disposable wet wipes designated as hygiene
products, and clean uncontaminated wet wipes must comply with storage standards. In addition, the
results are expected to contribute to the enhancement and improvement of hygiene management
supervision, personal hygiene management, and an improvement in national health. |
