Purpose: This study analyzed the perception and importance of country-of-origin labeling at restaurants in 500 college students in Jeju surveyed from April 15 to May 5, 2016 with the aim of providing basic data. A total of 465 questionnaires out of 500 were used as base data for this study. Methods: The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, ${\chi}^2-test$, and t-test using the SPSS Win program (version 21.0). Results: Regarding food safety-related dietary behaviors, average score was 3.65 points (out of 5), and 'put the food in a refrigerator or freezer immediately (4.07)' showed the highest score, whereas 'cool rapidly hot food prior to putting it in the refrigerator (3.08)' showed the lowest score. Regarding the awareness of country-of-origin labeling at restaurants, 67.5% of subjects were aware of it. With regard to dietary behavior of food safety, the high group showed a higher score than the low group (p < 0.001). Regarding reliability of the system, 4.9% of subjects indicated 'very reliable' and 45.4% 'somewhat reliable'. For perception of subject's country-of-origin labeling, the average score was 3.77 (out of 5). Regarding checking country-of-origin labeling at restaurants, 68.0% of subjects checked country-of-origin labeling, and the high group in the safety-related dietary behavior score ranking showed a higher rate (79.3%) than the low group (57.1%) (p < 0.001). With regard to importance by item, 'honest country-of-origin labeling of restaurants' showed the highest score at 4.27 (out of 5). Conclusion: It is necessary to provide continuing education for college students in order to enhance their perception of country-of-origin labeling at restaurants. Moreover, a systematic and appropriate support and control system by the government and local government needs to be developed in order to improve country-of-origin labeling at restaurants.

This study targeted culinary staff members working in ten five-star hotels in Seoul. A total of 205 self-administered questionnaires were distributed from November 14th to 27th, 2014, and 240 questionnaires(98.4%) were used for analysis after the exclusion of 4 with unreliable responses. Based on the data collected, frequency analysis, reliability test, exploratory factor analysis, simple regression analysis, t-test and moderating regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 18.0 program. The study findings are as follows. Culinary staff knowledge of origin labeling had a significantly positive effect on job performance and the degree of knowledge was higher in the group that attended one to two-hour periods of education. This suggests a differences in knowledge depending on the hours of education, which then had a moderating effect on the relationship between knowledge and performance. In conclusion, in order to improve knowledge of country-of-origin labeling and the level of performance, there is a need to increase education hours and enable culinary staff memebers to learn more knowledge and apply it to actual tasks.

This study aims to examine the knowledge level of culinary staff members regarding the restaurant country- oforigin labeling system by developing a scale to investigate and evaluate such knowledge levels. The empirical study targeted culinary staff members with over 7 years of experience in 10 luxury hotels in Seoul who were approached through the convenience sampling method, which was conducted for 14 days from November 14th to 27th, 2014. A total of 192 self-administered questionnaires were collected, of which 186 questionnaires(93%) were used for the final analysis. For investigation and analysis, a frequency analysis was carried out to look into population statistics and the level of knowledge using the SPSS 18.0 statistics program. One-way ANOVA and t-test were carried out to investigate differences in knowledge levels of restaurant country-of-origin labeling system with reference to academic background, job position, and hotel management type. As the result, the average correct answer rate of the culinary staff members for a total of 21 questions was 39.85% and there were no significant differences based on the academic background. However, the correct answer rate was higher for respondents that held high positions and had independently managed hotels, suggesting that knowledge varied depending on job position and management type. In conclusion, it is suggested that in order to improve the level of knowledge of the restaurant country-of-origin labeling system among culinary staff members there is a need to enhance training and continuous supervision to apply the knowledge to work in future. In addition to this, this study discussed the limits of the study and the orientation of further research.

국민생활수준 향상에 따라 식품소비패턴이 변화되고 소비자의 안전 농식품에 대한 요구도 증대하고 있다. 2005년 12월 국무조정실에서 실시한 설문조사에 따르면 식품구입 시 가장 우선적으로 고려하는 요소로 응답자의 약 34%가 '위생안전'을 꼽았다. 이는 유통기한을 선택한 36%까지 합하면 무려 70%가량이 안전성을 가장 우선적으로 생각한다는 결과이다. 최근 미국산 쇠고기 수입재개와 관련하여 나타난 식품안전에 대한 국민들의 관심과 수준은 단순히 통계수치와는 비교도 할 수 없는 거대한 전율을 느끼게 만들기에 충분한 것이었다. 식품안전에 대해 이렇게 수준 높은 소비자들의 욕구를 모두 만족시킬 수있는 정책을 단기간에 개발하기란 쉽지 않겠지만 한편으로는 올바른 정보들이 충분히 제공된다면 현명한 소비자들이 있기에 정책이 더욱 정교해지고 발전할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

정부는 지난 8월 [농수산물의 원산지 표시에 관한 법률]을 개정 확대하면서 금년 2월부터 모든 음식점 및 배달용 치킨에도 원산지표시를 의무적으로 시행하고 있다. 포장재, 스티커, 전단지 등 소비자가 알아보기 쉽도록 '국내산' 또는 '수입산'으로 정확히 명기해야하며 이를 위반할 경우, 100만원에서 최고 300만원까지의 과태료를 부과 또는 처벌받게 된다. 이 같은 추세에서 본회는 지난해 말부터 '국산닭고기인증제' 사업을 진행하고 있다.' 국산닭고기인증제'는 생산단계에서 판매단계까지 투명한 관리체계를 통해 100% 국내산닭고기만을 취급하는 업체를 대상으로 '인증마크'를 부여하는 제도로써 국산 닭고기에 대한 소비자의 신뢰를 구축하기 위해 시작되었다. 이미 여러 업체에서 국산닭고기인증을 획득, 인증마크를 부여받으면서 앞으로도 꾸준히 신청업체가 늘어날 것으로 기대된다. 본고를 통해 '국산닭고기인증제' 사업에 대해 요약 정리한 내용을 소개하고자 한다.
