Food sanitation in Korea is usually up to U.S. standards. However, you should take precautions when eating at small street vendors. When eating out in the local economy, food can be considered safe when it is cooked thoroughly. Make sure that hot food is served hot and cold food is served cold.
Local city water is considered safe for drinking. However, most local people drink bottled, boiled, or specially treated purified water. When in doubt, beverages which are either bottled or otherwise packaged are usually safe to drink.
NOTE: Anyone publishing names from this list must include a clearly marked statement such as the following:
“These names have been furnished by the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy, Seoul, Korea. American consular offices at any foreign post will, upon request, furnish a similar list of physicians and dentists to any individual.”
