This study is a survey of regulatees' perception on main contents and enforcement effect of the Act, the retailers at food stores within Green Food Zone, for the effective enforcement of "The Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life" legislated in 2008. Percentage, frequency analysis, and T-test are derived from the survey carried out to the 175 retailers at food stores within Green Food Zone, across the country except Jejudo, for the two months March and April of 2011. The survey results are as follows. Over 80% of the respondents are aware of comprehensive policy for child food safety and the enforcement of 'the Special Act' and considering the rate of satisfaction on food safety information provided by government, over 90% of the respondents, virtually most of them, are satisfied. The rate of awareness of Green Food Zone is about 80% and that of outstanding business for children is about 50%, showing little perception of it. The comparison of the survey result of 2011 with that of 2010, which have the same questions to the retailers within Green Food Zone, still indicates a need for enhancement of understanding on absolute standard, though it showed fairly better improvement in general. Several proposals are given in this study based on the survey results, which will contribute to the children food safety and health improvement in the end.

It is necessary to improve the self-management ability of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) certified companies and intensive management for companies with insufficient management. In addition, the efficiency and convenience of HACCP operation should be improved by expanding and distributing smart HACCP. In this way, it is the direction that HACCP in Korea should go forward to continuously discover and expand the field of application with the improving and smartening the HACCP system.

지난 3월 정부는 그 동안 지속되어 오던 식품위생관리 행정체계 개편과 관련 식품의약품안전청을 폐지하고 국무총리실 산하에‘식품안전처’를 신설하겠다고 발표한바 있다. 세계적으로도 농축산물을 포함한 식품 위생업무는 생산단계부터 최종소비단계까지 일관된 관리가 필요하여 이른바“Farm To Table(농장에서 식탁까지)”에 근거해 업무가 추진되고 있다. 그러나 이번 정부의 발표에 따른‘식품안전처’는 축산물위생업무를 실제 담당하는 수의사들이 근무하며, 농축산물의 생산, 방역∙위생관리의 주관부서가 아닌 사실상 식품의약품안전청의 승격기관이라는 점에서 문제가 되고 있다. 과연‘식품안전처’의 신설이 국민에게 안전한 먹거리를 보장할 수 있는 최선의 방법인가를 신중히 검토하기 위해 우리회를 포함한 축산관련단체협의회에서는 소비자단체, 관련학계, 생산자단체 등과 연계하여‘식품안전관리추진위원회’를 설립하고 지난 7월 6일 국회 의원회관 대회의실에서“소비자 농업시대와 농식품 안전관리”라는 주제로 심포지엄을 개최하였다.

With about 600 officially licensed food additives now living in modern people's lives, consumers' interest in the additives, food safety and harmfulness in food products is also increasing, and mobile services for consumers who want to properly recognize and purchase the safety of food they want to consume are being implemented at home and abroad. In this study, six major applications that provide food safety information were analyzed for functions and designs, evaluated by design experts and evaluated for usability to actual users. Through the function and design analysis results, three similar domestic applications were selected, and the design experts were evaluated for UI and usability, and two of the most similar applications were selected for usability testing. The test results showed that the two applications were similar in usability, but considering the overall results, it was found that the strictest available food safety application. After this study, we propose improvements in the design of food safety applications and existing designs and functions to help improve the convenience of food application developers and users, and thus to ensure the safe and correct eating habits of the people.

This study aims to provide basic data for food hygiene safety education by surveying the status of food hygiene safety awareness, attitude, and personal hygiene control of male and female college students in South Chungcheong Province, Republic of KOREA. From May 16 to June 30, 2019, 1,048 survey responses were collected at H University and analyzed statistically using SPSS 23.0. This study found males believed agricultural, livestock, and fisheries products (3.37, 3.08), and processed foods (3.40, 3.00) to be significantly safer, and information on food safety was easier to obtain (3.40, 3.00) than females. They were also more confident in choosing safe food (3.30, 2.97), than females. This indicates that males are more aware of food hygiene safety than females. On the other hand, females responded that they checked the expiration date (4.11, 4.40) and stored food according to characteristics (4.08, 4.30) than males, wash their hands after using the toilet(4.23 4.53) than males. This suggests that females were more aware of food hygiene attitudes and personal hygiene control than males. According to this study, college students' awareness of food hygiene safety and attitude, personal hygiene control showed a gender gap. Males had higher food hygiene safety awareness than females, but their awareness of food hygiene attitudes and personal hygiene control was lower. This suggests that differentiated food hygiene safety education is needed considering these gender differences.

For more efficient and proactive safety control of imported food, new trend in U.S. is emerging, which assesses the food safety control systems of exporting countries using Systems Recognition Assessment Tool and helps ensure safety of imported foods. This study examines trends in development and application of assessmemnt tool and country assessment reports in U.S. where an active discussion on this issue is in progress. The expert interviews were also conducted. U.S. Systems Recognition Assessment Tool was developed by FDA to recognize the potential value in leveraging the expertise of foreign food safety systems and help ensure safety of imported food. The tool is comprised of ten standards and provides an objective framework for determining the robustness of trading partners' overall food safety systems. Using its own tool, the U.S. FDA conducted a preliminary assessment of the food safety control systems of New Zealand and Canada. According to the U.S.-New Zealand and the U.S.-Canada assessment reports, the overall structure of the systems was similar between the countries. In summarizing the opinions of experts, such a trend in National Food Safety Control System Assessment may be utilized in the sanitary assessment and the control of imported food border inspection frequency before importing food. It would contribute to more effective distribution of national budget and increased public trust. Additionally, international collaboration as well as securing of qualified experts and sufficient budget appear to be crucial to further increase the utility of National Food Safety Control Systems Assessment. In conclusion, firstly, it is critically important for the competent authority of South Korea to proactively respond to international trend in National Food Safety Control System Assessment by identifying the details of its background, assessment purpose, core assessment elements, and assessment procedures. Secondly, it is necessary to identify and complement the weaknesses of Korea's food safety control system by reviewing it with U.S. Systems Recognition Assessment Tool. Thirdly, by adapting the assessment results from imported countries' food safety control systems to the imported food inspection intensity, the resources previously used in inspecting the imported food from accredited countries can be redistributed to inspecting the imported food from unaccredited countries, and it would contribute to more efficient imported food safety control. Fourthly, the competent authority of South Korea should also consider developing its own assessment tool designed to reflect the unique characteristics of its food safety control system and international guidelines.

식품산업에서 박테리오파아지를 첫째, 동물 보건에서 항생제 대체품으로서, 둘째, 식품에서 바이오보존제(biopreservative)로서, 셋째, 식품 체인에서 병원성 세균을 검출하기위한 도구로서 다양하게 이용하고자 최근에 널리 인지하고 있다. 박테리오파아지는 바이러스로서 세균을 감염시키고 용해하는 특성이 있으며, 식품 안전과 관련하여, 1) 포유 동물세포에 무해하여 박테리오파아지를 안전하게 이용할 가능성, 2) 발효식품에 적절한 스타터 역할을 하거나 천연 미생물균총을 그대로 보존하는 박테리오파아지의 높은 숙주 선택성이라는 2가지 특징을 지니고 있다. 최근에는 식품첨가물로서 박테리오파아지를 '먹을 수 있는 바이러스'로 인정할 수 있을지 논의되고 있다. 식품유래 병원성 세균을 제어하기 위한 파아지의 이용가능성과 생물학 분야에서 관련되는 기초연구를 하고자 할 때 생기는 제한점 등에 대해서 고찰하고자 한다.

지난 2004년도는 식품 안전에 대한 사회적 이슈가 어느 해보다 뜨거웠다. 조류독감과 광유병, 불량만두소 사건 등의 식품사건이 연일 언론을 달구었고, 또 정부의 부정불량식품의 대한 규제강화 발표 등으로 식품 안전에 대한 사회적 관심이 고조되었다. 또한 이러한 식품 안전에 대한 사회적 이슈는 식품에 대한 소비자의 불신으로 이어지면서 과거에는 단순히 여기었던 식품 클레임에 대해서도 매우 민감한 반응을 보이면서 식품업계의 클레임이 예년보다 급증하였다. 뿐만 아니라 소비자의 클레임 제기 유형도 회사에 직접 제기하는 경우도 있지만 특히 포탈사이트. 언론 고발, 대형 유통 채널, 소비자단체, 정부기관 등의 다양한 채널을 이용하는 경우도 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 정부의 식품위생법개정(안)의 유해식품 신고에 대한 고액의 포상금 지급이 발표되면서 악의든 선의든 소비자의 클레임에 대한 무리한 피해보상 요구도 날로 증가하고 있고, 또 이를 이용하는 식파라치와 악성소비자도 나타나게 되었다. 따라서 이러한 식품 안전에 대한 문제는 앞으로도 지속될 것이고, 또 식품의 클레임에 대해서도 더욱 강성화될 것으로 예상된다. 그러므로 이러한 사회적 환경 속에서 클레임에 대한 올바른 소비자 대응을 위한 클레임 처리 방안을 모색하지 않을 수 없다. 이에 클레임(claim)이란 무엇이며, 또 그 유형들은 어떤 것이 있는지 그리고 클레임의 대응 방법 및 Q&A를 살펴보고자 한다.
