Today (27th) the weather is very cold.
When it comes to street snacks in this cold winter season, fish cakes are indispensable.
The wooden skewers used to stick fish cakes have been embroiled in controversy.
Look at the article.
Recently, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, enacted an ordinance for the first time in the country to restrict the reuse of wooden fish cake skewers.
It came out to find a solution to hygiene problems, such as some self-employed people using old enough to turn the tip of the skewer black.
This has rekindled the debate over the reuse of fish cake skewers.
Consumers have generally expressed their interest in hygiene, which has increased since the spread of Corona 19, in the form of 'I was still uncomfortable' and 'I wonder why wooden chopsticks are used once and discarded, but fish cake skewers are reused'.
On the other hand, self-employed people are refuting that 'the cost burden is high' and 'it is not dirty because it is washed in detergent and dried well'.
There was also an objection that if the skewers were used once and discarded, the environmental problem would be serious.
