  • This study was a survey of consumer awareness and attitudes about genetically modified foods and their labeling regulations. Questionnaires were distributed to 4,620 consumers who lived in different areas of Korea, and 4,076 people responded. The consumers were asked about knowledge, labeling information, and their sources of information about GM foods. Respondents from Seoul, Jeonnam, and Gyeongnam answered mostly "nearly don't know > moderate > never know > know a little." Respondents from Gyeonggi answered "moderate > nearly don't know > never know > know a little." According to occupation, housewives, company employees, consultants, and students answered mostly "nearly don't know > moderate > never know > know a little. "Consumers answered about the intent to buy GM foods differently according to area, occupation, and education. Seoul and Gyeonggi residents said that reinforcing factors to relieve the insecurity of GM foods were "evaluating safety > management of GM foods by the government > GM food regulation system." There were other answers according to area, occupation, and education. About GM-related education methods that they wished to have, residents of the Seoul area said "books/leaflets" most often, but residents of the Gyounggi area said "attending a lecture" most often. Housewives also said "attending a lecture," but teachers and students said "Internetbased education" most often. About the kinds of education that they could join, Seoul residents answered "consumer groups > school parents > public institutions," but Gyeonggi and Chungnam area residents answered "public institutions > consumer groups > school parents." Housewives and students answered "consumer groups" most often, but consultants and private business owners answered "public institutions" most often. We realized that different education methods were necessary for different areas, occupations, and education levels.

  • Purpose-Meat plays an important role in the Chinese daily diet, however, due to the spread of COVID-19, food supply and safety have become a major concern. The safety and health features of chilled fresh meat have attracted the attention of consumers. To study consumers' purchasing behavior and willingness to pay for chilled meat under the influence of the epidemic. Research methodology- The data were obtained by questionnaire survey, major issues include consumers' meat consumption habits in the wake of the COVID-19 and their awareness of meat product quality labels. In addition, the gender, age, family income, and other basic personal information of the interviewees were also counted. Based on the binary Logit regression method, we study consumers' purchasing behavior and willingness to pay for chilled meat under different demographic characteristics. Results-The results showed that brand and quality certification are important factors influencing purchases. In addition, the presence of children under the age of 12 in the household and the level of income and education also influence consumers' purchase intention of the chilled fresh meat. However, mart promotions and city ratings can significantly lower consumers' propensity to buy the chilled fresh meat. Apart from this, such factors as gender, age, and living conditions have no significant influence on consumers' purchase of chilled fresh meat.

  • 유전자재조합식품에 대해 듣거나 알고있는 인지도는 83.7%로 한국소비자보호원이 1999년 3월중 서울시내 20세 이상 성인남녀 526명을 대상으로 선행 조사한 결과(73.4%)에 비해 더 높게 나타났으며 2001년 국제식품정보위원회가 조사한 미국 74%, 호주 83%의 국외 인지도 조사결과와 비교해서도 비슷하거나 더 높은 수치를 보였다. GM 농산물의 개발이익에 대해서는 59.1%의 소비자가 식량증산 및 기아해결에 도움을 줄 것이라고 생각하면서도, GM 식품의 안전성에 대해서는 71.6%의 소비자가 강한 의구심을 나타내고 있었으며, 특히 식품독성(52.2%), 환경에 대한 위해 가능성(40.7%)에 대한 우려가 그 대부분을 차지하였다. 이러 한 이유로 GMO로 표시되어 판매되는 식품에 대해 33.2%의 소비자가 구매거부 의사를 나타낸 반면, 7.4%의 소비자만이 구매의사를 보였다. 하지만 정보부재 등을 이유로 주변의 추이에 따라 판단을 유보하겠다는 소비자도 약 28.0%에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. GM 식품에 대한 정보원으로서는 시민단체 (44.9%), 언론매체 (19.,3%)의 순서로 높은 신뢰를 보였으나 담당 정부기관인 농림부나 식품의약품안전청의 정보는 상당히 신뢰하지 않는 것(9.6 %)으로 답변함으로써 관련부처의 노력과 분발이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 유전자재조합식품 표시의 필요성에 대한 질문에서는 99.6%의 응답자가 표시를 찬성하는 것으로 나타났으나 2001년부터 실시되고 있는 ‘유전자재조합식품 표시제도’ 인지도에 있어서는 61.7%의 응답자가 잘 모른다고 상반되게 답변함으로써 관련부처 의 홍보가 부족하였다는 사실을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 표시 제도의 개선방향에 대해서는 표시문구를 보다 알아보기 쉽게 표시(45.2%), 허위표시 여부에 대한 감시와 정보제공의 강화(24.6%), 제도시행에 대한 홍보강화(16.5%)의 순서로 답변하였으며, 대다수의 답변자(93.1%)가 향후 표시품목의 확대를 원하는 것으로 나타나 현행 표시 제도의 재검토와 개선방향에 대한 논의가 시급하다고 판단되어졌다.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in the degree of significance and satisfaction perceived by college students and ordinary consumers on the HMR product attributes. Comparison of the difference on HMR product attributes between ordinary consumers and college students who belong to the current and future consumption groups of HMR will provide information for clear marketing strategies and PR on target consumers from the aspects of companies. Also, overall difference on HMR was investigated through IPA(importance-performance analysis) on significance and satisfaction with each product attribute. This result will provide information to food companies that produce or supply HMR products to be supplemented and improved. Finally, IPA was conducted between groups on product attribute to find which difference exists between groups. This result is also expected to provide crucial information to companies as suggested in the first purpose. Research design, data, and methodology - The procedure of analysis is as follows. First, independent sample t-test was conducted on the significance and satisfaction on HMR product attributes. Second, with using IPA, the significance and satisfaction on HMR product attributes of the respondents were checked to investigate marketing strategy direction on overall HRM products. Third, the difference between generations was verified using IPA on the college student and consumer groups. According to this result, the direction of marketing strategy on HRM products was to be proposed to food companies. Results - It was known that consumers consider HMR product attributes statistically and significantly such as nutrient content(nutrition), country of origin, brand, main raw material, packaging, and awareness of manufacturer. They keep after purchase more importantly than college students who considered only volume and price than consumers. In comparison with the difference in satisfaction on HMR product attributes, the college student group was more satisfied than ordinary consumers only in flavor, condition of food additives, and volume. Also, HMR related food companies must maintain taste, cooking method, manufacturing date, expiration date, and safety on current products continuously. Finally, as a result of analysis from the groups, the attributes such as cooking method, manufacturing date, expiration date, and safety were considered significantly with high achievement by the two groups. It was known that college students considered food texture to be important, but consumers considered storage method to be important after purchasing it. Conclusions - There is necessity to differentiate effectiveness of products when releasing HMR products subject to consumers and college students. The result will give great assistance to the improvement of companies, produce or supply HMR products. It will also provide entry strategies on target groups of companies that are planning for entry. The factors that consumers commonly considered not to be significant were brand, package form(appearance), cooking time, and sale(purchase) location, which were found in the comparison with the groups that awareness about manufacturers and storage method after purchase corresponded to college students and that distribution route corresponded to ordinary consumers.

  • 전국의 대도시, 중소도시, 읍면지역의 주부 100명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 전화면접조사를 실시하였다. 식품안전에 대하여 불안을 느끼는 사람이 55.4%, 불안을 느끼지 않는 사람이 34.6%로 식품안전성에 대해 불안을 느끼는 사람의 비율이 1.9배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 식품안전에 대한 불안감에 영향을 미치는 요인은 유아나 초등학생의 자녀여부, 학력, 채소류 구입 장소, 브랜드, 보존료나 착색료 등의 식품첨가물, 원재료의 원산지 등이었다. 불안요인 중 잔류농약은 대상자의 96.0%가, 보존료나 착색료 등 식품첨가물 95.7%, 환경호르몬 93.0%, 식중독균 등 유해 미생물 91.7%, 유전가변형식품은 90.2%가 불안을 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제로는 잔류농약이나 식품첨가물보다 미생물의 발생으로 인한 식품오염으로 나타날 수 있는 식중독의 경우 더욱 치명적일 수 있으므로 이러한 사실을 일반 소비자들에게 인식시킬 필요가 있다. 불안을 느끼는 식품으로, 도시락은 대상자의 93.3%가, 수입 식품은 92.7%, 패스트푸드 89.9%, 햄과 소시지 등 식육가공식품 88.7%, 외식(패스트푸드 이외의 식품) 81.6%, 통조림과 냉동식품 등 가공식품 83.5%, 컵라면 등 인스턴트식품 82.0%, 쌀 47.4%, 식용유 53.8%, 우유 및 유제품은 56.6%가 불안하다고 느꼈다. 식품의 제조(재배) 및 원료(원산지)를 제시해주는 식품표시에 대하여 신뢰하지 못하고 불안을 느끼는 대상자가 많으므로(75.2%) 표시 제도와 인증제도의 적절한 운용을 통해 식품에 관련한 충분한 정보가 소비자들에게 전달될 수 있는 대책이 강구되어야 하겠다. 신선식품(농축산물)구입시 가장 우려되며 우선적으로 고려하는 사항은 '수입산인지 국내산인지'이었으며 '유통기한', '무농약 및 유기재배 여부', '만질 때 혹은 외관상으로 느껴지는 신선함' 등이 그 다음으로 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 가공식품 구입시에는 '보존료 및 착색료 등의 식품첨 가물'(93.6%), '유통기한'(92.4%), '원재료가 무농약$.$유기재배인지'(88.8%)에 대하여 염려된다고 응답한 비율이 높았다. 식품안전을 확보하기 위한 식품생산에서 소비단계까지 개선사항으로 '비료, 농약 살포, 수확시 관리 등 생산단계'(59.6%) 및 '물, 토양, 대기 등 자연환경'(43.6%)의 개선이 중요하다는 견해가 많았다. 위의 결과로 볼 때 식품안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 식품위생과 안전성, 식품표시에 대한 홍보와 교육이 지속적으로 이루어져 소비자들의 식품안전에 대한 인식과 신뢰도를 높여야 할 것이다. 농장단계에서 오염원을 줄이는 방안이 최종생산물의 검사에 기반을 둔 식품안전정책보다도 안전성 확보에 훨씬 유효하다는 사고방식이 보편화되고 있으므로 농산물 생산단계에 우수농산물관리 제도(good agricultural practices)를 정착시키고, 나아가 사전예방 원칙을 적용한 HACCP 시스템을 도입하여 식품(특히 축산물)의 안전성을 확보하여야 하겠다. 또 food chain 전반에 관한 이력정보의 부족과 정보의 신뢰성이 문제가 되므로 생산단계부터 가공단계, 유통단계, 그리고 판매 단계 에 이르기까지의 모든 과정을 소비자가 역으로 거슬러 올라가 확인할 수 있는 '이력정보체계 (traceability system)'를 활성화하여야 하겠다.

  • This paper studies regarding the problems of transmitting disease through food and its prevention in terms of current problematic food poisoning and the transfer of bacterial disease while providing lunch for school children. As the problems of school lunch program, the number of food poisoning and of the transfer of bacterial disease is highly increasing because of the shortcomings of systematic safety management toward food and of the lack of meal supplier's awareness about sanitation.For the prevention the following suggestions are provided:1. It is necessary to shift from the system of meal supply for nutrition to that of meal supply for health. 2. A system that offers a responsibility for nutrition to that of meal supply to a person in charge of hygienist, or a cook, including the a nutritionist, is needed. 3. It is necessary to gain the help from the department of sanitation in city or country for the sanitation guidance and inspection of school meal supply, not to totally rely on the local ministry of education. 4. A manager or employees related to school/group meal supply need to get education constantly on sanitation and public information. 5. For the long term, a systematic sanitary management needs to be accomplished by introducing HACCP system.

  • Background: This study determined current status of laboratory biosafety in Nigerian veterinary research facilities. Methods: A questionnaire was developed to obtain information from researchers across Nigeria from July 2014 to July 2015. Information regarding demographics, knowledge of laboratory biosafety, availability and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), any priority pathogens researched, attitude on and use of standard laboratory practices, and biosafety awareness was obtained using a numeric scoring system. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 74 participants from 19 facilities completed the questionnaire. General knowledge scores ranged from 3 to 28 (out of 28 possible points), with 94.6% of respondents receiving low scores (scores < mean + 1 standard deviation). Very few (17.6%) reported availability or use PPE. Many participants (63.5%) reported no access to biosafety level (BSL)-1-3 facilities. None reported availability of a BSL-4 facility. Knowledge scores pertaining to biosafety management practices ranged from 0 to 14 (out of 14 possible points) with 47.3% of respondents receiving good scores (scores > mean + 1 standard deviation). Only 16.2% of respondents (from four facilities) reported having biosafety officers. Rabies virus was the most researched pathogen (31.1% of respondents). The majority (71.6%) were unaware of laws guiding biosafety. Researchers [odds ratio (OR) = 18.0; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.63, 198.5; p = 0.023], especially in BSL-2 (OR = 258.5; 95% CI: 12.71, 5256; p < 0.001) facility of research institute (OR = 25.0; 95% CI: 5.18, 120.6; p < 0.001), are more likely to have adequate access to and properly utilize biosafety devices and PPE. Conclusions: Current knowledge of laboratory biosafety is limited except among a few researchers.

  • This study was done to analyze the contents of food and nutrition information in daily newspapers. Articles in four newspapers(Chosun, Donga, Hankook, Joongang Ilbo) published during November 2003 to April 2004 were monitored. In analysis, 216 articles were used. Classifying the articles by topics, cuisine/cooking $(19.4\%)$ and food/ nutrition related to diseases $(18.1\%)$ were most common. Articles regarding food sanitation or safety, obesity and diet accounted for $12.5\%$, respectively. Other topics in articles included food culture$(11.1\%)$, balanced meals/eating habits $(10.6\%)$ and functional foods $(7.9\%)$. About $77\%$ of articles were written for unspecified persons. Regarding the types of articles, news articles made up $44\%$ of monitored articles, followed by feature articles $(14.8\%)$, advertisement by articles $(12.9\%)$, serials by professionals $(11.6\%)$, and information of daily life $(8.8\%)$. Nineteen percent of articles did not have specific sources, while $20.8\%$ were based on interviews with professionals. Other sources of articles included research reports $(14.8\%)$, field reports $(12.1\%)$ and literature $(8.8\%)$. Contents analysis showed that four-fifth of articles were evaluated as 'contents and titles are consistent', 'not difficult to understand', 'contents are not exaggerated', and 'information is not overgeneralized'. Seventy-one percent of articles were evaluated positively on increasing awareness regarding food/nutrition, while $56.5\%$ were evaluated as providing practical information. The major problems in articles were 'intentional or indirect advertisements of specific items/companies' ($74.6\%$ of articles applicable), 'lacking in scientific basis/explanation' $(65.3\%)$, 'presenting unbalanced information due to focusing on specific area' $(46.7\%)$, 'unclearness of contents' $(38.4\%)$, and 'lacking in explanation of technical terms' $(35.2\%)$. To provide reliable information, stating the sources of articles clearly and supplementing the articles with scientific basis and balanced information on specific topics are needed. It is also necessary to explain the contents and technical terms clearly and to reduce the contents of intentional, indirect advertisement in nutrition-related articles.

  • The goal of this study is to promote the spread of environmentally friendly agricultural products, which have been receiving a lot of attention lately, as a way to improve food safety and quality. As a result of the increased labor input, increased production costs, and an aging population, environmentally friendly agriculture is making it more difficult for farmers to expand their enterprises. In the meantime, consumers find it difficult to spread eco-friendly agricultural products due to their high expectations for safety and quality, as well as the desire to purchase products at a reasonable price. Previous studies have revealed differences in perceptions between eco-friendly agricultural producers and consumers. In light of this, this study divided consumers based on their characteristics (such as age, purchase history, health concerns, etc.), and different policies were proposed in order to increase purchasing factors for each group based on their characteristics. In order to gather information for this study, general citizens were asked about their perceptions of eco-friendly agricultural products, future purchase intentions and awareness, reliability, necessity, purpose, and information sources. A two-step clustering analysis was conducted using nominal and continuous variables simultaneously. The paper presents the three derived group differences (senior organic interest group, middle-aged organic interest group, and indifferent young organics) as well as group differences for the purchasing/non-purchasing factor analysis and policy improvement for each group. An eco-friendly agricultural product distribution proposal was made at the end of this article.
