In the era of global village, countries seek more and more food from overseas, and imported food safety relies on professional and complete laws, regulations and systems, and recently Taiwan began to pay attention to related food laws and systems of other major countries in the world. As South Korea and Singapore are advanced countries in food safety management in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, respectively, their imported food safety laws and systems are worth our study. This paper originated from an industry-academia cooperation project and collects and analyzes the following topics on the two countries of South Korea and Singapore: food market status, governing authorities and major laws, food import safety management mechanisms, and imported food border inspection measures. This paper will also compare mechanisms of the two countries for the readers' reference. Research results indicate that both South Korea and Singapore have developed a mature and highly-demanding market for imported food, set up independent food safety agencies, established laws specializing in food import management, as well as focus their efforts on preventive measures and follow the risk-based approach in conducting border inspection, with unique designs in laws and systems, and thus both countries have set a good example for Taiwan.
