In order to provide fundamental data of food circulation policy, we performed monitoring the safety of the imported food which was circulating through Gwangju from March to October, 2005. Acid and peroxide value which are barometers for evaluation of the quality of lipid were investigated in 130 samples of imported oil treatment food. Not-permitted tar pigment and artificial sweetner were investigated in 139 candies by TLC and HPLC. The content of sulfur dioxide in 129 samples of dried fishery products and dried fruits was investigated by Monier-Williams method. In 130 samples of imported oil treatment food, 9 samples (6.9%) were incongruent with acid value, 6 samples (4.6%) with peroxide value and 4 samples (3.1%) with acid value simultaneously with peroxide value. In 139 imported candies, not-permitted artificial sweetner were found in 2 samples (1.4%). In 129 samples in which sulfur oxide was analyzed,4 samples (3.1%) were incongruent. Finally, in total 398 samples in which this study was analyzed, 25 samples (6.3%) were incongruent.
