The objective of this study was to compare the differences of opinion, purchasing behavior, and recognition of food labeling and nutrition labeling of frozen processed food between employees and non-employees in the frozen food industry. The results of this survey study showed that the group working in the frozen food industry had a positive opinion of frozen processed food compared to the non-employee group who was not working in the food industry. The main reason for the positive opinion of frozen processed food was because it was convenient and easy to prepare while the main concern with consuming frozen processed food was that it was bad for one's health. The most popular menu was western style. Sixty one percent of employees in the frozen food industry preferred the microwave-cooking method, while only 37.9% of non-employees preferred the microwave-cooking method followed by cooking in boiling water (27.6%). There was a significant (p<0.001) difference in the preference of cooking method between these two groups. Most of the respondents considered 'taste' as the most important factor and 32.9% of the respondents selected 'sanitation/health' as the most serious concern for the consumption of frozen processed food. Both groups checked the food & nutrition label to verify the expiration date and the presence of food additives. The non-employee group recognized the need for nutritional information on total calorie, carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, minerals, vitamins, sodium, and fiber on the nutrition label of frozen processed food.

Food/nutrition related views, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors were investigated for three hundred randomly selected men and women, aged 20-60 years, residing in Seoul metropolitan area. Food/nutrition views, attitudes, and beliefs were found to vary greatly between groups of different age, sex, education and income level. Adults of 20-35 years of age showed significantly less strong views about keeping traditional food habits, while exhibiting a significantly high level of acceptance towards the use of convenience foods as compared to the adults aged 36 years or older. Food safety was found to be a major concern to most of the subjects accounting 69.7% for pesticides residues in fresh produce items, 94.7% for food additives in processed food, and 56.3% for food poisoning in foods eaten outside of the home. Male adults aged 45 years or older showed a strong tendency to rely on a few promotional food products for the maintenance of their health and for them the development and implementation of a sensible feed nutritin/health education program including a way to avoid nutrition quackery might be beneficial. Eighty percent of the subjects were found to read food labels with higher rates shown among young adults and females. Due to the virtual absence of nutrition labeling however, the percentage of subjects who idicated that they are looking for the information on nutrient content was low (<10%) compared to the rates for other informations such as date of manufacture(80.2%), expiration data(55.8%), ingredients(40.9), and additives(40.9%). Ninety one percent of the subjects indicated that they would like to see the sources for nutrition label the nutritional value of the foods. The top five most frequently (68.3%), food packages(50.7%), and radio(43.3%). Health professionals such as physicians, nurses, and nutritionists/dietitians were utilized less frequently as sources of nutrition information than lay sources, with reported rate of only 38%, 22%, and 0.7%, respectively. These results collectively suggest that strategies are to be developed to provide accurate nutrition information to adults.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the frequency of convenience food consumption at convenience stores (CVS) and the CVS usage patterns of middle and high school students as well as to understand students' attitude toward sodium and sugar reduction. Methods: We used an online questionnaire for data collection. The questionnaire comprised five distinct categories: general characteristics, CVS usage, frequency of consumption according to convenience food menus at CVS, attitude toward sodium and sugar reduction, and adherence to dietary guidelines. Results: A total of 75 students from Seoul (14 middle school students and 61 high school students) participated in the study. Most respondents visit CVS 3-5 times a week. CVS are predominantly used during weekdays, mostly during lunch, and dinner. The students mostly checked the caloric content and expiration date as food labeling information. The participants were aware of the need to reduce their sugar and sodium intake. Among frequent CVS convenience food consumers, there was an increased consideration of the need to reduce their sugar and sodium consumption, despite their actual selection of foods with high sugar and sodium content. Additionally, they did not check the sugar and sodium levels indicated in food labeling. Further, the dietary action guide from the Ministry of Health and Welfare were poorly followed by most students. Conclusions: There is a need for nutrition education specifically addressing the sugar and sodium content of the convenience foods predominantly consumed by students. Additionally, educating students with frequent convenience food consumption to actively check the sugar and sodium information on food labels could help promote healthier food choices.

This study attempted to improve frying powder products based on 272 consumers' purchase conditions. Factor analysis by type was conducted on purchase attributes of consumers who purchased frying powder by categorizing them based on five factors-namely, convenience, information, diversity, safety, and economy. Five main factors were divided into four purchase attributes named various pursuit, convenience pursuit, economical pursuit, and inform/safety pursuit. Purchasing status of frying powder products was analyzed according to three independent variables such as age, meal preparation type, and purchase attributes. The top motivation for using frying powder was convenience. According to the importance-satisfaction analysis survey, taste, expiration date, and certification mark were chosen as highly important and high satisfaction characteristics for frying powder (p<0.001), whereas nutrition, oil absorption, adhesiveness, crispiness, origin, and food additives were highly important and low satisfaction characteristics (p<0.001). In the conjoint analysis, crispiness was the most important attribute of fried food.

This study investigated the recognition and utilization status of food labeling and nutrition labeling, according to the body type recognition of university students. In a total of 351 subjects, the male subjects comprised of 25.8% belonging to the underweight awareness group, 46.3% normal weight awareness group, and 27.9% overweight awareness students. Among the female students, 29.2% belonged to the underweight awareness group, 36.6% were normal body weight, and 34.2% were the overweight group. When purchasing processed foods, the price (4.05 points), expiration date (4.03 points), and gross weight (3.88 points) were the most considered factors of the food labeling content (5 points) for all body shape recognition groups. The food labeling of canned foods was checked most by the underweight awareness group (p<0.05). For bread and snacks, the contents of food labeling were confirmed most by the normal weight awareness group and the overweight awareness group (p<0.001). For beverages, the normal weight awareness group checked more food labels (p<0.01). The underweight awareness group (55.2%) hardly checked the nutritional labeling, and 22.9% of these subjects did not check at all. Our results may provide the necessity to improve the incorrect eating habits of students, by evaluating differences between the cognitive body type and the actual body type by BMI.

식품이력추적관리번호는 식품이력추적관리를 위한 식별의 기준으로서 식품이력정보와 직접적으로 연결되어 있으며, 식품공급체인에 따라 각 단계별로 기록, 관리, 보관하는 이력정보를 연결시키는 연결고리의 역할을 하는 중요한 인자이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 우리나라에서 가공식품에 대한 식품이력추적관리번호를 자율적으로 부여하는 방식을 적용하고 있어 혼란이 야기되고 있는 실정이다. 실제 식품이력추적관리번호는 식품관련 산업분야에서 운영되고 있는 기존의 식별방법과 조화롭게 연계되지 않으면 그 효용성과 적합성이 낮아 산업현장과 소비자로부터 외면 받을 수밖에 없는 처지에 놓이게 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 가공식품에 대하여 국제적으로 사용되는 바코드체계와 국내의 식품관련 법규를 접목하여 식품이력추적관리번호를 부여하는 표준화 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 이러한 식품이력추적관리번호를 실제 산업현장의 운영체계에 활용할 수 있는 방안도 함께 제시하였다. 제안하는 식품이력추적관리번호는 총 20자리로서 해당 상품(식품)의 기본정보에 해당하는 13자리의 GTIN 바코드, 표시기준으로 의무화된 6자리의 유통기한(제조년월일 또는 품질유지기한), 1자리의 추가정보(공장식별코드 또는 생산관리단위)로 구성되도록 하였다. 이러한 부여체계는 식품 산업과 유통(판매) 현장에서 운용되고 있는 기존 시스템과의 연계성을 높이고 식품이력추적관리체계의 도입에 따른 투입비용을 최소화하여 식품이력추적관리체계의 도입을 활성화하기 위한 목적도 포함하고 있다. 이는 국제적인 추세와 기존의 식품관련 정책 및 규정과도 무리 없이 조화가 이루어진다. 또한 식품이력추적관리 로고를 별도로 부착하여 식품이력추적관리번호를 인식하는 방법을 안내하여 소비자의 인식을 제고하고 식품이력추적관리번호를 최소 판매 포장단위에 추가로 표기하기 위한 별도의 투입비용을 제거하는 효과도 고려하였다. 식품이력추적관리시스템은 이력정보를 종합적으로 기록 관리 연계 활용하여 식품사고 발생 시 명확한 원인규명과 이력추적을 통한 위해식품의 신속한 차단 및 회수, 식품과 관련된 이력정보 제공 등의 기능을 수행하여야 한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 식품이력추적관리번호의 표준화 방안은 현재 운영되고 있는 "위해상품 판매차단시스템"에서 위해식품을 신속하고 정확하게 차단하는 기능을 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 "위해식품 회수지침"에 따른 체계적인 회수과정과 검증체계 역시 효율적으로 도입할 수 있도록 하는 효과가 있다. 또한 전자통관시스템인 "UNI-PASS"와의 연계는 모든 수입식품을 대상으로 식품안전관리 범위를 확대할 수 있으며 "전자세금계산서 제도"에서 기록되는 거래정보와의 연계로 유통과정에 대한 투명한 관리체계의 도입을 앞당길 수도 있는 기폭제가 될 수 있다. 또한 소비자의 알권리 충족을 위한 식품이력정보의 조회과정에서 식품이력추적관리번호의 표준화로 입력오류를 최소화할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 바코드 인식기능에 유통기한과 추가정보를 조회하는 기능을 부가적으로 도입하면 스마트 기기나 키오스크를 활용하여 실시간으로 식품이력정보를 조회할 수 있게 하는 장점도 있다.
