The purpose of this study is to provide a fundamental research data that is necessary in an education of dietary life so that the students have sound dietary life through a right food purchase after investigating perception of children's dietary habit and activity, food labelling, and nutrition labelling for 400 students of the 5 and 6th grades. The result of the study are as followings. In terms of perception questions over food labelling, on the whole, "know it little bit" was the highest. Girls and country was higher than boys and city. A list of item that is important in contents of food labelling were period of circulation, data of manufacturing, price, used ingredient, origin of product, nutrition contain labelling, manufacturer, quantity in contents(quantity, the number). A meaningful difference was shown in gender(p<.05) and area(p<.01). In 30 perception questions over nutrition labelling, "know it little bit" was the most, and girls and country were higher than boys and city. In ascertaining nutrition labelling at the time of purchasing the food, "look often" was the most. Girls and city were higher than boys and Gun in average but no difference was statistically shown in knowledge mark in utilization and perception of nutrition labelling. The response rate in girls(p<.01) and country(p<.05) was higher in a question of "if nutrition labelling is displayed, nutriment that is harmful for our body will be eaten less" and girls' response rate was higher in the question of "being educated for my health". Therefore, practice centered nutrition education is necessary to purchase the food after ascertaining food nutrition labelling out of an attitude in habitually purchasing the processed food. The students develop comprehensible food nutrition labelling the direction to emphasizing nutrition educational labelling and recognizing that the healthy nutriment is contained without conventional and food safety centered labelling should be changed.

This study examined the status of current nutrition labelling and claims for the processed foods that were purchased in the supermarket. They were assessed in the aspects of frequency and content of nutrition labelling and claims. The results are summarized as follows; The percentage of products contain the nutrition labelling or claims of processed foods of investigation were 18.7% and 18.8% respectively. In the nutrition labelling method, the format separated by expression contents with 'only liability indication nutrient'or 'liability indication nutrients plus discretion indication nutrients' were 44.7% and 43.4% respectively. In the case of type and title, 'table' and 'nutrition composition'were used most frequently, 83.9% and 83.2% respectively. And in the case of expression unit, 'per 100 g or 100 ml'was higher (56.8%) than others. Nutrition claims were divided into 'nutrition content claim'and 'comparative claim', in the former the most claim was 'containing'and in the other'more or plus'used most frequently.'Nutrient function claim'was 13.4% and 'Implied nutrient claim'was 7.3% of all the claims. Results of the evaluation of current nutrition labeling system, nutrition labelling was less advanced and variable in content and format and also the information was not easy for consumers to understand and use them. To support achievement of the nutrition label, there must be program and initiatives for better understanding and communication and guidances on food labelling and nutrition for food manufactures.

The purpose of this study was to investigate school dietitians' perception on nutrition labelling of processed and packaged foods in the Incheon area. This study was carried out through a self-administered questionnaire and the subjects were 203 school dietitians. The results were summarized as follows. Most of the subjects checked nutrition labeling of processed and packaged foods when they purchased these foods for school lunch. However, the main reason for their checking nutrition labeling of processed and packaged foods was not for nutrition but for food safety. There were significant differences in the subjects' understanding and trust on nutrition labeling of processed and packaged foods by employment school. The scores of the subjects' satisfaction, understanding and trust on nutrition labeling of processed and packaged foods were not high. There were significant differences in the subjects' perception and concern about content information on nutrition labeling of domestic processed and packaged foods by employment school. Most of the subjects answered that it is almost necessary or very necessary to implement nutrition labelling of processed and packaged foods. Also their most preferred method of nutrition labelling was to label nutrient content. As the most important nutrient and functional component necessary for nutrition labelling, they answered energy, mineral such as calcium and iron, protein, total fat, cholesterol, vitamin, sodium and dietary fiber in order. As the major prerequisite task for the implementation of nutrition labelling, they answered formulation of nutrition labelling-related rules, and education and motivation for consumer, Therefore, it is necessary to activate the mandatory nutrition labelling of the processed and packaged foods and to prepare its consumer education program for school dietitian.

본 연구에서는 대학생들의 영양표시 확인 정도에 따른 영양표시 이용 실태, 영양표시에 대한 지식 및 인식, 영양표시의 유용성 자각 정도의 차이를 비교하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 본 조사대상자 중 자주확인군, 가끔확인군, 비확인군에 속한 대상자는 남학생은 각각 47명(31.3%), 51명(34.0%), 52명(34.7%)이었고 여학생은 각각 66명(50.0%), 48명(36.4%), 18명(13.6%)이었다. 자주확인군이 가끔확인군이나 비확인군에 비해 자택 거주자가 많고 자취하는 학생이 적었다. 대학생들의 용돈이나 식비 비율은 영양표시 확인 정도에 따라 차이가 없었다. 남학생은 군간의 차이없이 75%정도가 하루 1~2회 간식을 섭취하였고 여학생은 비확인군이 다른 두 군에 비해 하루 3회 이상 간식을 섭취하는 비율이 높은 경향이었다. 자주 섭취하는 간식식품의 종류는 남녀 모두 영양표시 확인 정도에 따라 차이를 보이지 않았으나 남녀 모두 자주확인군이 다른 두 군에 비해 우유 및 유제품을 간식으로 섭취하는 비율이 높았다. 대학생들의 영양지식 수준은 0.7점 정도로 보통정도이었으며 남녀 모두 자주확인군이 비확인군에 비해 영양지식이 높은 경향이었다. 대학생들의 식습관은 전반적으로 바람직하지 못한 수준이었으며 영양표시 확인 정도에 따라 차이가 없어 영양표시를 실생활에 까지 제대로 활용하고 있지 못함을 나타내었다. 남녀대학생들은 세군에서 모두 식품표시 항목 중 유통기한을 중요시하는 비율이 가장 높았고 자주확인군이 다른 두군에 비해 영양표시를 중요시하는 비율이 높았다. 남녀 모두 영양표시에서 열량을 중요시하는 비율이 가장 많았고 다음으로는 지방이었으며 1/3 이상의 대학생들이 콜레스테롤도 중요시 여기고 있었으나 나트륨을 중요하게 생각하는 학생의 비율은 10~25%정도에 불과하였다. 대학생들의 영양 표시에 대한 지식은 전반적으로 0.6점 이하의 낮은 수준이었으며 영양표시 확인 정도에 따른 차이도 없었다. 남녀대학생들은 영양표시의 필요성과 영양표시의 교육 및 홍보의 필요성은 인식하고 있으나 영양표시가 자신의 식품선택에 영향을 미치는 정도는 낮다고 인식하였으며 남녀 모두 자주확인군이 다른 두 군에 비해 영양표시에 대해 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있었다. 대학생들은 '영양 정보 획득'이나 '타제품과의 비교 용이', '건강을 위한 식품 선택'과 '체중 관리를 도움'과 같은 영양표시의 유용성에 대해서 비교적 자각 정도가 높은 편이었으나 영양표시가 제품을 질을 향상시킬 수 있다는 유용성에 대해서는 상대적으로 자각정도가 낮은 편이었다. 영양표시의 유용성에 대해 자주확인군과 가끔확인군이 비확인군에 비해 자각정도가 높은 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 대학생들은 대부분 영양표시 필요성은 인식하고 있으나 아직 영양표시에 대한 지식이 부족하여 제대로 이해하지 못하고 영양표시의 유용성에 대해서도 충분히 자각하지 못하고 있으며 따라서 영양표시를 자신의 식생활에 적극 활용하지 못하고 있어 영양표시 확인 정도에 따라 식습관이나 간식섭취 등 식행동에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 자주확인군이 다른 두 군에 비해 영양표시에 대한 인식과 유용성에 대해 더 긍정적이었으므로 대학생들을 대상으로 일반적인 영양지식과 더불어 영양표시를 활용한 식품 선택 방법에 대한 소비자 교육을 실시하면 영양표시 활용 태도와 행동을 증가시키고 이러한 행동이 그들의 식생활에 직접적으로 반영되어 건강한 식생활을 영위하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was accomplished to investigate the dietary life and their opinion about the food-nutrition labelling of 20's∼60's housewives in Seoul and Kyeonggi area. The results were as follows. Among subjects, 63.5% didn't make a budget for the food expenses because they did not practice habitually not only the budget-planning, but also the menu planning. They often brought the Kimchi from the relatives rather than preparing it by themselves. On the other hand, they often purchased the soy sauce, soybean paste and soybean paste mixed with red pepper. When purchasing the foods, the importantly considered factors were in the order of freshness, taste and nutritional quality. They thought the processed foods were convenient and economic in terms of time but were not beneficial for the health and low in the nutritional quality. The confirming degree of food-nutrition labelling was very low, but in case of confirming, they often confirmed the manufactured date and the expiration date in order to confirm the stability. The degree of confidence and understanding about food-nutrition labelling of subjects was average 3.3 out of 5. They wanted the nutrient content the most in the food-nutrition labelling on the package. They preferred it as the types of picture and graph rather than the table and descriptiption. The expected effects of food-nutrition labelling was that they might be helpful to select the foods for the prevention of the adult diseases and obesity. From the results, we proposed that the agencies and nutrition concerned consumers should make an every efforts for the successful implementation of food-nutrition labelling system.

The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze food allergy labelling for the arrangement of improvement plans. Survey was done as a quantitative research targeting food industry employees with 399 random workers in Seoul and Gyonggi area. The data was analyzed using SPSS windows (ver. 12.0) for frequency analysis, t-test and factor analysis. The importance and performance of the food allergen labelling were divided by 15 items. Only 43.1% of the workers understood the operation allergic food labels. The first improvement on allergic food labels was "using boldface for food allergen labes". The importance of all of these factors was significantly higher than performance. The selection attributes with relatively low the performance but high importance(2 quadrant) were "consumer education for allergic food labels" and "training of professional counselors on food allergy". Therefore, the factors to be improved through the IPA were consumer education and training of professional counselors. With this research and extended efforts for revision of laws, reliability of food industry and accuracy of food labelling would improve, thereby boosting the productive commercial activities in labelling code.
