Abstract

This study was performed to develop children's food quality certification system as part of the children's favorite foods safety management projects. As a component of the research, we developed a quality certification logo to build up brand image which is familiar with children, as well as to offer the right standard and opportunity for food selection. The age level contains elementary graders from 8 to 13. The logo concept was focused on 'Safety', 'Certification, Guidance' and 'Health' in accordance with the vision of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), "Safe food, good nutrition and healthy children". The logo name was proposed as "Best Food for Children", "Safety Food for Children" and "Children Good Food", which was decided by public subscription in the KFDA. The 36 tentative plans for a seal were proposed depending on names. We conducted a survey for the 12 logo samples, designed by the name of "Children Good Food", to use as the basic material for the development of logo to convey the meaning of children's food quality certification system effectively. This survey was conducted among 321 elementary graders and 331 parents of elementary graders. We selected the most favorite design through the survey and applied it for products practicality. It is expected that a steady policy may be possible to implement by applying the basis of the children's food project.

어린이 먹거리 안전관리 사업의 일환으로 어린이 식품품질인증제도 연구를 수행하였다. 이 중 어린이 눈높이에 맞는 친숙한 브랜드 이미지 구축을 통하여 식품자체의 안전성을 확보함과 동시에 어린이에게 올바른 식품선택기준과 기회를 제공하기 위한 품질 인증마크를 개발하였다. 눈높이는 $8{\sim}13$세의 초등학생으로 하였고, "안전한 식품, 바른 영양, 건강한 어린이"라는 식약청 vision에 따라 로고 컨셉은 안심 미소, 인증검증 보호, 건강으로 하였다. 명칭은 식약청내 공모를 통해 제안된 ${\ulcorner}$어린이용우수식품${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$어린이안심식품${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$어린이우수식품${\lrcorner}$ 등 세 가지 안으로 하였으며, 명칭에 따라 총 36가지의 품질인증 로고시안을 제안하였다. 설문지는 이 중 ${\ulcorner}$어린이우수식품${\lrcorner}$으로 디자인된 12가지 시안으로 구성하였고, 초등학교 학부모(331명) 및 어린이(321명)를 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 학부모와 어린이의 선호도를 종합한 결과 시안 8이 16.1%로 가장 높고, 시안 6(15.5%), 시안 3(14.0%) 순임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 어린이 먹거리 안전성 확보 사업의 기반을 구축하여 어린이 기호식품에 대한 부모와 어린이의 선택권을 강화할 수 있으며, 바르고 안전한 식품을 선별하기 위한 검증으로 어린이 건강을 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
