Abstract
According to the framework of risk analysis, monitoring and reviewing policy measurements are required in food safety, and in this regard, Japan introduced a policy evaluation system in 2001. This study analyzes the current situation and problems of policy evaluation in food safety by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The results show that setting objectives and indicating performance measurements must be improved, and current policy evaluation does not provide the necessary information for reviewing policies and measurements.
