Abstract
This paper outlines characteristics of and government actions for food safety policies in South Korea, focusing on the livestock products. Recently, South Korea has faced multiple problems regarding the safety of livestock products, necessitating new policies regarding food safety. However, there are some problems with these polices. For example, low recognition of policies by producer and consumer and high maintenance costs have proven problematic in establishing traceability systems. Therefore, it is necessary to restructure emerging policy to solve these problems.
