  • The major part of non-commercial food service is food service for school which has no any objective quality standards. Each school has different standard when they buy seafood for SFS(School Food Service). The research purpose is whether or not the extrinsic cues of the seafood such as price, the source origin, company image, safety standards, etc or the intrinsic cues such as fishy smell, the hardiness of fish meat, others have any effect on the seafood evaluation when school nutritionist purchase it, for more objective basis. The research method is distributing questionnaire survey through e-mail or directly visiting the schools from October 30 to November 9, 2007. The questionnaire was distributed to 70 nutritionists of food service for elementary school in Busan. Total 50 questionnaires are used as data in the statistical analysis using SPSS package software. The research results are; First, there is interaction effect between the extrinsic and intrinsic cues of seafood for SFS. That is when the school nutritionist valued on intrinsic cues of seafood such as a fishy smell, the hardiness of fish meat and etc influence on the extrinsic cues such as price, source origin, reliable circulation process, HACCP application, etc. Second, the extrinsic cues of the seafood give no effect on perceived quality. Since seafood for SFS are heavy buying, prearrangement contract and most of them using pre-treated frozen aquatics. Third, the intrinsic cues of the seafood give no effect on perceived quality. The extrinsic cues consist of 5 parts namely "opening about quality", "source origin", "company image", "safety/standards" and "price/package". However, "safety/standard" was the only affecting factor to perceive quality. The reason is that in fact they have no standards or any document proving the quality of the seafood unless safety standards factor. Last, the perceived quality is an important factor for perceived value and purchase intention. It is showed that there is a path to form a willing to buy through the perceived value after school nutritionist recognizes the perceived quality.

  • Objects: In July 2 2010, a diarrhea outbreak occurred among the workers in a company in Gyeungju city, Korea. An epidemiological investigation was performed to clarify the cause and transmission route of the outbreak. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey among 193 persons, and we examined 21 rectal swabs and 6 environmental specimens. We also delegated the Daegu Bukgu public health center to examine 3 food service employees and 5 environmental specimens from the P buffet which served a buffet on June 30. The patient case was defined as a worker of L Corporation and who participated in the company meal service and who had diarrhea more than one time. We also collected the underground water filter of the company on July 23. Results: The attack rate of diarrhea among the employees was 20.3%. The epidemic curve showed that a single exposure peaked on July 1. The relative risk of attendance and non-attendance by date was highest for the lunch of June 30 (35.62; 95% CI, 2.25 to 574.79). There was no specific food that was statistically regarded as the source of the outbreak. $Bacillus$ $cereus$ was cultured from two of the rectal swabs, two of the preserved foods and the underground water filter. We thought the exposure date was lunch of June 30 according the latency period of $B.$ $cereus$. Conclusions: We concluded the route of transmission was infection of dishes, spoons and chopsticks in the lunch buffet of June 30 by the underground water. At the lunch buffet, 50 dishes, 40 spoons, and chopsticks were served as cleaned and wiped with a dishcloth. We thought the underground water contaminated the dishes, spoons, chopsticks and the dishcloth. Those contaminated materials became the cause of this outbreak.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the qualities of breads added with 0.01%, 0.1% and 1% of Sargassum siliquastrum extracts (SSE). The result of total microbial count showed that breads with SSE were reduced with increasing storing time, especially bread with 1% SSE was reduced about 2 log cycle as compared to that of control. The moisture content of the bread added SSE and non-added bread were not significantly different during the early storage period, but after 9 days of storage, the moisture content of control was 13% decreased while that of the SSE added bread was decreased by only $5{\sim}6%$. In the color, lightness and yellowness of bread diminished with increasing amounts of SSE in bread while conversely, redness increased. In sensory evaluation, bread containing 0.01% and 0.1% SSE were preferred than the control over total preference, while bread containing 1% SSE showed the lowest preference. These results suggest that the addition of 0.1% SSE in bread had a good effect on improving the preservation and development of quality.

  • Due to technological development in the globalized food system, quantitative problems of food supply have been solved, but food risks have expanded from problems in specific regions to global problems. In order to maximize the efficiency of agricultural production, the growth in agricultural production system, procirement of raw materials, establishment of food processing processes and establishment of food supply chain systems are required. Control of hazards requires facility and administrative efforts. In this study, we examined the role of CSR in conjunction with food safety. Food SCM is related to food safety and correlates with the food supply chain. In terms of the triple bottom line theory, CSR is correlated with SCM and it is possible to pursue food safety through corporate CSR and SCM. In this study, it is statistically confirmed that SCM and CSR are in a positive relationship. In the impact of CSR on food safety, it has been confirmed that economic responsibility and legal responsibility take precedence over environmental responsibility and social responsibility. Based on this, we can achieve food safety through SCM and CSR, and we can decide which of CSR activities can be prioritized.
