Flea market app There are cases of room temperature delivery such as ham that needs refrigeration Note 24 October 18:02
Since there are cases where food such as ham that requires refrigeration is delivered at room temperature with the so-called flea market app that sells and buys goods between individuals via the Internet, the Consumer Affairs Agency has called for attention as there is a risk of food poisoning The
According to the Consumer Affairs Agency, foods that require refrigerated storage such as ham and salty spices are listed in the Flea Market, but among them, it was confirmed that the delivery method was at room temperature .
No food poisoning damage has been reported so far, but some products have been resold such as Chinese hams, which means that there may be an increase in listings as the year-end season ends.
According to the Consumer Affairs Agency, none of the three major flea market applications are designated as a delivery method for food that requires refrigeration under the operating rules, and it is the responsibility of the user if a problem occurs.
For this reason, the Consumer Affairs Agency requests the three major Flea Market apps to change the rules so that room temperature delivery of foods that require refrigeration is not permitted, and also calls attention to users.
According to Consumer Affairs Secretary Akiko Ito, “Since there is no vacuum pack or cold insulation, it is not okay, so both sellers and buyers have the right knowledge to use cool flights etc. I want you to do it. "
