Abstract

  The purpose of this study was to investigate how genetically modified (GM) food is considered by those who participate in food processing, namely, food farmers, food developers, distributors and consumers, from production to consumption.<BR>  The findings indicate that food developers were more interested in genetic recombination technology than other groups, whereas consumers were more interested in GM food. The number of people who think that application for genetic recombination technology to food production and other fields was not good for citizens was as follows in declining order: farmers›consumers››distributors›developers. Compared to other sources, newspapers were not a reliable source for information on GM food. In particular, food developers and distributors had more this tendency. Every organization including the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and researchers of universities should be responsible for informing the nation of this technology.<BR>  In conclusion, it is important that all the parties concerned with genetic recombination technology continue to inform the public of this technology steadily to help the nation understand GM food.
