AB - Living in a globalizing society, securing food safety requires collaborations among the various trading parter countries. The food safety level of a country depends on the food self-sufficiency level, domestic consumers’ preferences as well as the food safety level of its trading partner countries. To better understand food safety in a society, it is useful to examine food safety issues in foreign countries. This study aims to understand consumer food safety perceptions and competencies of three countries: Korea, China, and United States. From an online survey of 2,000 consumers from the three countries(1,000 Korean, 500 Chinese, and 500 American consumers), the food safety perception and competency were measured. Among the three countries, American consumers’food safety levels were the highest and Chinese consumers food safety competencies were the highest. Americans perceive the food in their country are generally safe and Chinese consumers’ food safety knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors were food safety perception score for all three countries. The findings also showed differences in better than the other two countries. Food safety competency level scores were higher than the food safe perception on a item-base among the three countries. It is found that the food safety issue is closely related to the society’s current issue, culture, and social system. The research also examined food safety perception and competencies based on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of individuals. The factors that related to food safety perception and competencies were also identified.
