The appropriateness of introducing blockchain technology into food safety management systems was evaluated by conducting a survey of experts on the effectiveness and constraint evaluation indicators, and a portfolio analysis was conducted to set the priorities of blockchain application. The food safety management activities considered in this study were issuing documents on food import/export, food hygiene rating scheme, civil complaint management in the food sector, food- related certification, risk information management, and food traceability systems. The sectors that can be expected to be effective in the introduction of blockchain technology were food- related certification, food hygiene rating scheme, risk information management, and issuing documents on food import/export. In the case of food traceability systems and civil complaint management, the introduction of blockchain technology was not recommended due to ineffectiveness. From the evaluation of the constraints (e.g., technical limits, cost, legal amendment, personal information disclosure, timeliness, and ease of connection) to be overcome when introducing blockchain into food safety management, it was found that there are more than average constraints in all six areas. In particular, the food traceability system was evaluated to have the most constraints. Issuing documents on food import/export is very effective with the introduction of blockchain technology, but due to high cost and legal restrictions, it is necessary to improve the institutional system in order to introduce blockchain. Among the evaluation sectors, food- related certification, food hygiene rating scheme, and risk information management on foods were suitable for preferentially adopting blockchain technology since these areas might experience greatly improved reliability and transparency through the introduction of blockchain, with relatively low constraints.

This study aimed at analyzing the food safety units of technology and home economics textbooks, as 'safety' emerged as a key concept in the 2015 revised curriculum. From each textbook, the main text, auxiliary elements(including tables, figures, etc.), and related activities were analyzed. According to the results, first, the main texts emphasized the importance of food selection(3.08 pages), food safety hazards(2.93 pages), safe storage and management of food(2.63 pages), and meal preparation with safety and hygiene(0.98 pages). Secondly, when the auxiliary elements were examined, the food safety content was most often presented in the form of tables/illustrations/pictures, followed by supplementary learning materials, activities, captions, end-of-chapter summaries, the chapter introduction and review quiz, and unit introduction. Thirdly, most activities were individual activities rather than small group or collective activities and were focused on investigation, evaluation, craft, application, implementation, inference and judgment, utilization, and proposition. In conclusion, it is recommended for textbooks to evenly distribute the content in the main texts and auxiliary elements, and include more group activities when developing textbooks in the future.

"어린이 식생활안전관리 특별법"이 2009년 3월 22일부터 시행된다. 특별법은 안전하고 영양을 고루 갖춘 식품을 제공하는 데 필요한 사항을 규정함으로써 어린이 건강증진에 기여함을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 정부에서는 법 시행과 더불어 어린이 식생활 환경 개선을 위한 다양한 정책을 추진하고자 한다. 식품의약품안전청에서는 특별법에 따라 추진되는 정책에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여 어린이 식생활 안전관리 지침을 마련하였다. 동 지침은 지자체 등 관련 기관이 보다 구체적으로 정책을 수립할 수 있도록 추진 업무의 기본 방향 및 세부 내용을 소개하고 있다. 특히 식품안전보호구역 지정 관리가 보다 체계적으로 진행될 수 있도록 필요한 사항에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하였다. 더불어 고열량 저영양 식품 관리 등 특별법에 따른 주요업무에 대한 개략적인 내용도 함께 제시하였다. 올해는 특별법이 처음으로 시행되는 시기이다. 동 지침의 주요내용을 본지에 나누어 게재하고자 한다.

HACCP procedures are regarded as essential components of modern safety assurance programs for all forms of food processing and preservation, including irradiation. Control of hazards and classification of hazardous microorganisms and indicator organisms (and related tests) are helpful to establish preventive and practice regulations at each facility. A carefully conceived and well implemented system assure the safety of all products. The HACCP is designed to prevent defects, rather than to detect them as in traditional end-point testing and inspection, as controlling requirements into food formulations, processing parameters and operating practices. This article commentes on some equipments and materials for HACCP system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the food hygiene and safety awareness of academic and specialized high school students, in order to provide basic materials characterization and demonstrate the need for differentiated food hygiene safety education by type of school in the Chungnam area. This study shows that the academic high school students attach more importance to Food Hygiene and Safety than the specialized high school students, but that the latter think it is easier get information about food safety and are more confident in choosing safe food than the former. Regardless of the type of school, 50.5% and 49.3% of the students believed that the safety of the agricultural and livestock products and processed food distributed for sale in the country is acceptable, respectively. 40.7% and 17.2% of the students answered that school food hygiene safety education is required and strongly required, respectively. Compared to the specialized high school students (average 3.17), the academic high school students (average 2.81) responded that they did not receive sufficient food safety education. Those students who were confident in choosing safe food showed a positive correlation with those who were confident in the hygienic handling of food (r = .662) and with those who have sufficient education on food safety (r = .504). We suggest that different food hygiene safety education is needed by academic and specialized high school students until they have sufficient confidence in the hygienic choosing and handling of food.

This study aimed to assess the level of food safety knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) among 500 Food handlers of hospitals in Korea and to explore the association between their knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) and the socio-demographic characteristics. Self-reported questionnaire contains 50 questions: 15 for knowledge, 15 for attitude, and 20 for practice on food safety. The results showed that the overall mean of the knowledge score is 3.25, attitude 3.65, and practice 3.36 respectively. There was a significant difference between the mean score for knowledge, practice and overall KAP in three aged groups. Also, the overall KAP scores were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the education level, where the average scores increased with the level of education. Public health preventive education and program should be provided to the food handlers in order to minimize foodborne hazards.
