Abstract

This study analyzed changes in nutrient contents of children's favorite foods between March 2010 and July 2012 after policy implementation on energy-dense and nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods based on Special Act on Safety Control of Children's Dietary Life in Korea. A total of 6,684 products in the list of children's favorite foods by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in March 2010 and 7,347 products in July 2012 were classified into the following three types: food products (1) manufactured or sold in 2012 as well as 2010 (n=6,174), (2) discontinued in 2012 (n=510), and (3) newly introduced in 2012 (n=1,173). Among children's favorite foods manufactured or sold in 2012 as well as 2010 (n=6,174), calories and key nutrients in sweetened ices, breads, ice creams, deep-fried noodles/noodles, ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, and pizzas were improved in comparison to those in the other food groups. However, most of the changes in calories or key nutrient contents per 100 g (or 100 mL) fell below 1 kcal or 1 g. The newly introduced candies, breads, and carbonated beverages showed slightly greater improvements in calories and key nutrient contents per 100 g (or 100 mL) than the discontinued ones in 2012. On the other hand, some negative changes were found in newly introduced chocolates and RTE foods in comparison to the discontinued ones. Overall, policy implementation on EDNP foods seemed to induce changes in nutrient contents of children's favorite foods, yet the extent of the changes was limited.

어린이 식생활안전관리 특별법에 근거한 고열량 저영양 식품의 관리 정책이 본격적으로 시행된 이후, 2010년 3월 말과 2012년 7월 말 기준 생산 판매가 지속된 어린이 기호식품, 단종 어린이 기호식품과 신규 어린이 기호식품을 대상으로 단위용량당 평균 열량 및 영양성분(포화지방, 단백질, 당류, 나트륨)의 개선 여부를 분석한 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2010년 3월 말과 2012년 7월 말 기준 생산 판매가 지속된 어린이 기호식품은 총 6,174개, 이 중 고열량 저영양 식품은 1,249개(20.2%)였다. 또한, 단종 어린이 기호식품은 총 510개, 이 중 고열량 저영양 식품은 206개(40.4%)였으며, 신규 어린이 기호식품은 총 1,173개, 이 중 고열량 저영양 식품은 총 371개(31.6%)로 조사되었다. 둘째, 생산 판매가 지속된 어린이 기호식품 중 평균 열량 또는 영양성분에서 긍정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상 나타난 식품유형은 빵류, 아이스크림류, 과채음료, 즉석섭취식품(이상 1개 항목), 혼합음료(2개 항목), 빙과류(3개 항목)였다. 반면 부정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상에서 나타난 식품유형은 과자, 초콜릿류, 유산균음료(이상 1개 항목), 캔디류(2개 항목)였다. 한편 어육소시지, 탄산음료, 유탕면류 및 국수, 피자에서는 긍정적인 변화와 부정적인 변화가 동시에 나타났다. 다만 단위용량당 평균 열량 또는 영양성분의 변화는 대부분 1 kcal 또는 1 g 미만이었다. 셋째, 열량 및 영양성분 함량의 긍정적인 변화는 어린이 기호식품 중에서도 고열량 저영양 식품에서 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 생산 판매가 지속된 고열량 저영양 식품 중 평균 열량 또는 영양성분에서 긍정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상 나타난 식품유형은 과채음료, 유산균음료, 혼합음료(이상 1개 항목), 빙과류(3개 항목), 아이스크림류(3개 항목), 즉석섭취식품(3개 항목)이었다. 반면 부정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상 나타난 식품유형은 캔디류, 초콜릿류, 탄산음료(이상 1개 항목)였다. 한편 빵류, 유탕면류 및 국수, 피자의 평균 열량 또는 영양성분에서는 긍정적인 변화와 부정적인 변화가 동시에 관찰되었다. 단위 용량당 평균 열량 또는 영양성분의 변화는 대부분 1 kcal 또는 1 g 미만이었으나, 일부 식품유형(빙과류, 빵류, 즉석 섭취식품, 피자)에서는 상대적으로 큰 변화가 발견되기도 하였다. 마지막으로 신규 어린이 기호식품이 단종 어린이 기호식품보다 평균 열량 또는 영양성분에서 긍정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상 나타난 식품유형은 빵류(3개 항목)와 탄산음료(2개 항목)였으며, 부정적인 변화만이 1개 항목 이상 나타난 식품유형은 초콜릿류(4개 항목), 아이스크림류(4개 항목), 즉석섭취식품(3개 항목)이었다. 과자, 캔디류, 과채음료, 혼합음료, 유탕면류 및 국수, 피자에서는 긍정적인 변화와 부정적인 변화가 동시에 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과 고열량 저영양 식품 관리 정책이 본격적으로 실시된 이후에도 어린이 기호식품의 단위용량당 평균 열량 및 영양성분상에 일부 부정적인 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 식품회사들이 자율적으로 제품의 긍정적인 개선을 적극 실천하기보다는, 현행 고열량 저영양 식품 분류 기준에 저촉되지 않는 선에서라면 일부 부정적인 방향으로의 제품 변화 역시 시도하고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서 고열량 저영양 식품 관리 정책이 어린이 기호식품의 영양개선을 통하여 어린이를 위한 건강한 식생활 환경 조성에 미친 영향은 아직까지 일부 식품 유형에만 제한적이라 할 수 있다.
