유전자변형식품이 쏟아져 나오고 있다. 하지만 병충해ㆍ맛ㆍ숙기ㆍ가공공정 등의 개선에 초점이 모아진 유전자변형식품은 안전성 문제로 인해 소비자들에게 적지않은 불안을 안겨주고 있다. 유전자변형식품의 정체와 연구 및 개발현황에서 안전성 문제를 점검해 보았다.

최근 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 제조된 식품에 대한 소비자들의 관심과 주의가 높아지고 유전자 변형 식품 생산과 판매는 국내는 물론 국제통상과 식품산업에 막대한 영향을 끼치고 있다. 본 연구는 이런 산업내의 변화에 맞추어 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 제조된 빵에 대한 일본 소비자들의 지각과 행동적 특성을 제시하는데 있다. 차별화된 유전자 변형에의 창출된 이익에 대한 일본 소비자들의 반응과 선택을 conjoint 분석을 사용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 유전자 변형 기술에 의해 창출되는 다양한 종류의 이익으로 차별화 된 GM 식품의 상품화의 실행 가능성을 평가하는데 있다. 연구 결과에 의하면 일본 소비자들은 유전자 변형에 의해 영양적 요소가 강화된 상품에 큰 관심을 보였고, 유전자 변형 식품이 주는 소비자 이익에 생산자 이익보다 높은 프리미엄을 지불할 의사가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Safety of genetically modified foods (GM foods) in Korea is evaluated according to "Food Sanitation Act" and "Regulation on safety evaluation for GM foods" based on the concept of substantial equivalence. In which cases a person who imports, develops or manufactures GM foods for the purpose of eating imports GM foods for the first time, he/she shall undergo a safety evaluation of the relevant foods, etc. by Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). And in which cases ten years have elapsed since GM foods underwent safety evaluation, they shall be re-evaluated for their safety. As of April 2019, a total of 199 events have been approved by MFDS and they are 169 events of GM crops including soybean (29), maize (87), cotton (29), canola (14), sugar beet (1), potato (4), alfalfa (5), 6 events of GM microorganisms (GMM) and 24 events of GM food additives originated from GMM.

The main issue in Korean debates over genetically modified (GM) foods have been government's responsibility to guarantee consumers' right-to-know and make informed choice. Counter-experts' critique over the current regulatory processes based upon substantial equivalence have not been widely publicized. Through interviews and textual analysis, this paper explored three groups' performances in Korean GM food controversies-regulatory scientists, civil society organizations, and counter-experts. Analytic focus was made upon how each of the groups interact with current GM food regulations. While making conflicts with regulatory scientists and their 'discourse of compliance with global standards,' counter-experts were excluded from regulatory processes. This article suggests that the processes and contexts in which counter-experts failed to form strong alliance with other groups need to be examined in order to further understand the specific contours of Korean GM food controversies.

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the practical problem-based lesson plan for high school home economics class focusing on consumer choice of genetically modified(GM) food. The ADDIE instructional design model was applied. The first analysis step, practical problems were chosen based on the previous studies and the educational goal suggested in the 2007 revised curriculum. The next design and development steps, 4 hours of lesson plans were developed by reconstitution a chapter of Food Safety. Additional learning materials(17 student activity papers, 17 student reading materials, 3 teacher reading materials) were also developed. The implementation step, the lesson plans developed were applied to the S high school students in Bundang, Geyonggi-do. The last evaluation step, the perception change about GM food and the adequacy of teaching method were evaluated. As results, the studens' attitudes and minds towards the GM food were changed. The level of concern on GM food increased, and the ratio of students who would check whether GM food or not was increased. Also students showed high level of satisfaction on teaching method and materials.

With the breathtaking stride beingmade in the field of biotechnology, biocatalyst research using genetically modified microorganism (GMM) is actively being pursued in food industry. However, domestic food and food additive regulation standards and the number of examination management examples currently used in industry is lacking significantly. Up till now, there are only 6 examples of domestic GMM examination and approval cases for food production purposes and furthermore they are limited to the production of functional sweeteners. Domestically, although GMM is developed as a processing aid (contained use), if they are used in the production of food, the safety of GMM, including environmental safety, is evaluated. Also the produced food or food additives using GMM need to be separately examined and approved as a novel food. On the other hand, imported products produced using GMM need to gain approval for the final product only. Thus the expense and the time to obtain regulatory approval is advantageous for imported products versus domestically produced products. This commentary is written to create the opportunity to reform the current domestic food GMM regulation by comparing and discussing domestic and foreign case analyses of safety evaluation of GMM and related regulations.

만일 미국인 소비자들에게 식품과 농산물에 생명공학을 적용하는 것을 지지하느냐고 물으면 그들 중 약 $70\%$는 ''그렇다''고 답할 것이다. 하지만 질문의 각도를 좀 달리해서 ''당신은 유전자변형식품(GMO)을 먹어도 된다고 생각하는가''라고 묻는다면 3분의 2가량은 ''아니다''고 대답할 것이다. 하지만 이 두가지 질문은 사실상 같은 것이다. 다만 두번째 질문속의 ''유전자''와 ''변형'' 같은 말들이 수백만명의 소비자들의 경계심리를 자극하는 것이다. GMO 기술은 적절하게만 사용된다면 식품의 영양을 개선하고 농업생산량을 증대시켜 농가소득을 높이고 심지어 환경적 위해 요소를 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 이 기술이 현재 부적절하게 시험되고 잘못 적용되는 등 불완전하게 규제될 경우 영양학적으로나 환경적으로 큰 위해로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 정확한 이해와 득실을 알아 둘 필요가 있다.
