The Japan Exposition Association, which is the organizer of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, announced on the 5th that it would now allow food to be brought into the venue, which had been prohibited in principle in January. The association says this is the result of reviewing the methods for inspecting people's belongings upon entry.
The Japan Exposition Association announced guidelines in January this year regarding what can be brought into the Expo venue, and will, in principle, prohibit bringing in food such as bento boxes due to strengthened security measures and measures to prevent food poisoning. However, he later indicated that he would reconsider this policy itself.
On the 5th, the Japan Expo Association released revised guidelines based on the results of the study, and announced that it would now be possible to bring in all types of food, including boxed lunches.
The association says this is because after examining the X-ray inspection method used at entry, it was found that the contents of food could be identified even when the food was placed in an insulated bag.
Furthermore, if you bring in food, we urge you to take thorough measures to prevent food poisoning, such as controlling the temperature.
Regarding drinks, people will be allowed to bring in water bottles, plastic bottles, etc., but alcoholic beverages and bottles will continue to be prohibited.
