Abstract

In this study, the food service management levels of cafeterias in childcare facilities were investigated based on the number of meal recipients and the working status of the kitchen staff. The study included 199 childcare facilities nationwide that received food supplies from the food ingredients distribution company, Pulmuone Foodmerce, from 2021 to 2022. The assessment was conducted using 61 inspection items. The analysis revealed that, as the number of meal recipients and kitchen staff members decreased, the documentation of inspection results was less likely to be conducted (P<0.05). Facilities with fewer meal recipients showed less adequate health status checks for kitchen staff, and those with fewer kitchen staff showed insufficient compliance with hygienic clothing (P<0.05). Additionally, facilities with fewer meal recipients showed a higher frequency of lapses in checking the expiration dates of stored ingredients (P<0.05), requiring increased management attention. They also exhibited the absence of internal temperature measurement records during heating processes (P<0.05). Furthermore, facilities with fewer meal recipients demonstrated inadequate maintenance of kitchen facilities (P<0.05). Significantly higher adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels were detected on the hands and cutting boards of the kitchen staff in facilities with fewer meal recipients and fewer kitchen staff (P>0.05). Overall, facilities with fewer meal recipients exhibited insufficient infrastructure management for kitchen operations and inadequate hygiene management. These results are expected to provide foundational data for the selection of national support programs for childcare facilities in the future.

본 연구에서는 보육시설 내 식수인원 및 조리 종사자 근무현황에 따른 급식소 위생 관리수준을 평가하였다. 2021년부터 2022년까지 풀무원푸드머스를 통해 식자재를 공급받는 전국 199개 보육시설을 대상으로 61개 점검문항 중 평가결과에서 유의미한 일부 분석결과를 바탕으로 작성하였다. 분석결과 식수인원이 적고, 조리 종사자가 적을수록 검수기록이 미 실시(P<0.05)되는 평가되었으며, 식수인원이 적을수록 조리 종사자의 건강상태 확인이 미흡하고, 조리 종사자가 적을수록 복장착용(P<0.05)이 미흡하였다. 또한, 식수인원이 적은 보육시설일수록 소비기한 경과 식재료 보관이 확인(P<0.05)되는 빈도 수가 높아 관리가 요구되었으며, 가열조리 시 심부온도 측정기록은 미 실시(P<0.05)되는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 식수인원이 적은 보육시설일수록 조리시설의 유지관리가 미흡(P<0.05)하였다. ATP 측정결과에서는 식수인원이 적은 조리시설 종사자의 손과 도마에서 유의적으로 높은 ATP 수치가 검출(P<0.05)되었으며, 조리종사자가 적을수록 근무 급식소의 도마에서 높은 ATP 수치(P<0.05)가 측정되었다. 분석결과를 종합해 볼 때 식수인원이 적은 보육시설일수록 조리운영을 위한 시설기반 관리가 부족하고, 위생관리가 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통해 식수인원 및 조리 종사자 수에 따른 보육시설 급식소의 위생 관리수준을 판단하였으며, 향후 보육시설에 대한 국가 지원사업 선정 시 해당 연구결과가 기초자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
