Abstract

Food sanitation law is the law related to food sanitation. The main purpose of this law is to prevent harm related to food sanitation, to improve the quality of food, and to provide accurate information concerning food sanitation in order to improve public health. It also contains various laws concerning hygiene and sanitation. The research focused on whether food crime can be classified as a crime of either the normal criminal law or some different kind of law, and what the theoretical bases of such law cases are. Republic of Korea regulates food related crimes in many ways, but this makes it difficult to effectively deal with crimes. In the case of Germany, food crime is classified as a kind of an economical crime, not a separate category. In the case of Japan, food crime is seen as a kind of an environmental crime and the same theoretical backgrounds are set up and such crimes are dealt with effectively. This points to the fact that theoretical base for food crime laws can be different from normal criminal laws. This paper will look at our laws concerning food crimes and discuss the possible ways to uniquely classify the range of food crimes.
