The questionnaire survey was executed to 232 food factories in Tokyo to understand the condition of testing facility, protocol, manuals, accuracy, and quality control in January, 2008. The collection rate was 62.5%. Facilities where the inspection was executed for microorganism inspection were 96% of food factories, and 53% of food factories executed physics and chemistry inspections. Facilities where the inspection was executed only by the simple examination in the microorganism inspection were only four facilities. It was clarified that 65.2% of food manufacturers prepared and maintained the manuals for the inspection, and 26.1% food manufacturers answered partially preparation. Preparation situation of the manuals for the inspection was almost excellent. On the other hand, the execution condition of the accuracy control of the inspection was about 30% or less whole. The acknowledgment level of the system that guaranteed the inspection accuracy was thought to be low because it was answered that half of nearby food manufacturers did not know proper management which regulated under Good Laboratory Practice of the food inspection field.
