Abstract

The purpose of this study is to arrange for the systematic execution of safety control in children's foods through nutrition and hygiene standard suggestions and guidelines for quality certification system in children's preferable food. Aiming to achieve this objective, the study researched the present status of children’s preferable food sold near elementary schools, elicited the hazards and problems of those foods and selected nutritional and hygienic hazard components in those foods. To suggest the standards and guidelines for quality certification in children's preferable food, the study referred to sundry records, surveyed the practical cases of relevant policies and standards at home and abroad. We studied the standard of nutrition for the quality certification in those foods for sugar, fat, sodium, and additives (tar color: red No. 2 in a ban on use, caffeine), microorganism (aflatoxin $B_1$ (${\mu}g$/kg) and pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella spp.), which are the nutrients that may hamper health when taken in a large amount, and the standard for a diet restricted to under 200 kcal per one serving size. Results of distribution of processed foods (242 samples) by nutrition standards were as follows. In case of all ‘low’ level in total sugar, total fat and sodium, 0.4% of total samples was possible to be certified, In case of all ‘medium’ level in total sugar, total fat and sodium, maximumly 22.3% of total samples was possible to be certified. In case of all medium level in nutrients and $\leq$200 kcal/serving, 17.8% of total samples was possible to be certified. Certified food types was milk products and beverages.

본 연구는 어린이 기호식품 품질인증제도를 위한 영양 위생기준안 제안을 통해 어린이 먹거리 안전관리의 체계적 수행을 위한 기반 마련을 목적으로 수행되었다. 어린이 기호식품의 품질인증을 위한 영양 위생기준안 제안을 위해, 초등학교 주변 어린이 기호식품의 실태조사 자료와 위해가능성이 제기된 성분관련 문헌고찰을 통해 영양위해성분을 선정하고, 선정된 성분의 기준치 설정을 위한 EU 및 영국, 미국, 캐나다, WHO, Codex 등 국외의 어린이식품관련 기준치 혹은 유사기준, 관련 법령 등에 대한 선행사례 자료를 수집하여 고찰하였다. 이를 바탕으로 한국인 영양섭취기준과 식품 등의 표시기준, 식품공전, 식품의약품안전청 연구 결과 보고 등을 참조하여 어린이 기호식품 중 가공식품에 대한 영양 위생 기준안을 마련하였다. 제안된 영양 위생 기준 항목 중 영양기준은 열량, 당, 지방, 나트륨이며, 위생기준으로는 식품첨가물(타르색소, 카페인)과 aflatoxin $B_1$, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella spp.의 미생물수준으로 하였다. 제안된 어린이 기호식품 품질인증 기준안의 $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$ 영양기준치 설정의 현실성을 살펴보고자 시중에서 유통 중인 어린이 기호가공식품 242종을 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 실시해 본 결과, 당, 지방, 나트륨의 $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$ 기준치 적용 시에는 조사대상 전체제품 중 0.4%에 해당하는 제품만 포함되었고, $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$ 기준치 적용 시에는 최대 22.3%가 해당되었다. $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$ 기준치에 1회 분량 당 열량 200 kcal 이하로 제한한 열량기준을 추가 적용한 결과는 17.8%에 해당되는 제품이 기준범위 내에 포함되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 품질인증제도의 실효성을 높이기 위해서는 $\ulcorner$$\lrcorner$ 기준 적용 등의 기준 완화가 필요하며 해당식품 유형이 유가공품과 음료류에 한정되는 결과를 보이므로, 품질인증대상 확대와 제조업체의 참여도를 높이는 측면에서는 각각의 식품유형에 따른 ‘개별 기준치’ 마련이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 식품유형에 따른 개별 기준치 범위 조정 및 설정을 확립하기 위해서는 추후 체계적인 보완연구가 수행 되어야할 것으로 사료된다.
