Abstract

<p>　Consumers are highly concerned about food safety and security. Above all, food poisoning has not slowed down despite the social environment as a developed country, and fatalities occur every year. In Japan, an emergency response has been established based on a prospect of damage spread. On the other hand, the number of complaints from consumers has increased as the number of foods that claim new functionality has increased, and especially the number of complaints involving harm is the largest among all products. As for health foods, several issues to be considered is beginning to appear, including newly-developed Foods with Function Claims, and businesses is beginning to respond these issues. In addition, food labeling significantly changed by the Food Labeling Act in some respects, and under the jurisdiction of the Consumer Affairs Agency, the Act will be fully implemented to ensure consumer safety and voluntary and rational choices. We are paying attention to the progress just before the full implementation.</p>
