Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose suggestions for establishing Korean regulatory standards of infant formula. Accordingly, the regulatory standards for food contaminants and additives in Korean infant formulas were compared and analyzed with those in CODEX, EU, Australia and New Zealand. Several suggestions for regulations were found from different countries. Firstly, it is advisable that additives for nutrient supplement of infant formula be classified as types of nutrients. Secondly, it is proposed that guidelines should be set on the maximum amount of additives in infant formula. Thirdly, pathogens such as Staphylococci and Salmonella of infant formula should be regulated. Finally, present regulations need to establish the maximum permissible levels of some pesticides, Pb and Al, that other countries are already regulating. These proposed recommendations would broaden the scope of infant formula regulatory standards needed for infants' health.

본 연구에서는 영 유아용 조제식의 안전성에 대한 소비자의 신뢰도를 회복하고 영 유아의 성장 및 발달에 도움이 되고자 우리나라, CODEX, EU, 호주 및 뉴질랜드의 영 유아용 조제식내 식품첨가물 및 오염물질 기준을 비교 분석하고 국내 영 유아용 조제식 기준의 문제점과 개선방안을 다음과 같이 제시하였다. 영 유아용 조제식내 식품첨가물 기준은 영양품질 개선을 목적으로 하는 영양 강화제와 식품에 첨가물 용도로 사용되는 식품첨가물로 분류하여 비교하였다. 영양 강화제의 경우 CODEX, EU, 호주 및 뉴질랜드에서는 영양소 유형에 따라 분류하여 제시한 반면, 우리나라에서는 영양 강화제의 명칭을 종합적으로 나열하여 제시하였다. 따라서 우리나라에서도 영양 강화제에 대하여 영양소별로 구분하여 제시할 필요성이 제기된다. 또한 첨가물 용도로 사용되는 식품첨가물의 경우 국내에서는 허용량이 규정되어 있지 않으므로 허용 식품첨가물의 명칭 및 최대 허용량을 제시하여 국제 기준과의 조화를 고려하도록 한다. 오염물질기준의 경우 국내에서는 일부 위해 미생물(E. sakazakii, B. cereus)과 방사선 조사처리 기준만 설정되어 있으나, CODEX 및 EU는 농약 기준을, 호주 및 뉴질랜드는 위해 미생물(Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp.)과 중금속 중 납과 알루미늄의 최대 허용량에 대한 허용기준을 추가로 규정하고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 영 유아용 조제식의 안전성을 입증할 수 있는 과학적인 자료를 토대로 위해 미생물, 농약 및 기타 오염물질 기준을 정량적으로 추가 제시할 필요성이 제기된다.
