[Anchor] Lastly, we hear that a notice written entirely in Chinese was posted at a bakery. What does it say?

[Reporter] Recently, a photo was shared online showing a hygiene notice written in Chinese attached to the bread display shelf of a bakery.

While the names and prices of the displayed breads were written in Korean, the notice placed in the middle of the display stand was written exclusively in Chinese.

The notice stated for food hygiene and safety that customers must "definitely use tongs and trays" and that "touching items directly with bare hands is strictly prohibited."

In particular, the phrase "do not touch the bread directly with your hands" was emphasized in red.

One netizen shared a similar experience, saying that they also printed out and posted a notice in Chinese at their mother's shop.
