Abstract

|
|
This study investigated the frequency, amount and consumption patterns of 50 potentially hazardous foods
(PHF) along with consumers’ risk perceptions towards PHF in Korea. A quantitative survey was performed from May
through August by trained interviewers, surveying 1,000 adults aged over 18 who were randomly selected from six major
provinces in Korea. Consumers perceived seafood, including shellfish, mussel, sashimi and sushi, as the top foods with
the highest risk, followed by raw sliced beef. The food with the highest frequency intake per month was leafy vegetables,
which is used to wrap other foods, followed by blanched vegetables, fried chicken, etc. The group of middle aged
individuals with economic stability had the highest frequency intake of sashimi and sushi. Respondents living in small
regions consume greater PHF portions at once. Food safety education with regard to the risk of PHF is essential for
consumers, with high frequent intake of PHF.
