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.

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 consumers' purchase experiences of some imported agricultural products (rice, sesame, garlic, onion, jujube, red pepper, oak mushroom, apple, dried persimmon) and their consciousness for the labelling of the country of origin for agricultural products in Youngnam region were examined in this study. The sample consisted of 438 women who lived in Taegu, Pusan and other cities of Kyungpook and Kyungnam, and the self-administered questionnaire for the survey was used. The main reasons to purchase the imported agricultural products were the wide distribution and low price of them. Most of the consumers were concerned about safety of the imported agricultural products but only a few people experienced unsatisfaction of the products. The price, quality, package, container, label, and safety of the examined products were evaluated worse than those of the domestic products. Generally, although they suffered unsatisfaction, the consumers did not complain because they wanted to avoid troublesome work, which means the consumers did not assert their rights. Some people did not know the labelling system for the country of origin and the place to charge the market violating it. Therefore, it will be necessary for the consumers to receive education about the labelling system for the country of origin and the compensation criteria for consumers' grievances and damages. The current labelling method for the country of origin generally met the consumers' preference but the consumers wanted to improve the position and color of the label. Most consumers could not differentiate the imported products from the domestic products. The results obtained from the survey suggest consumer education for the labelling system for the country of origin and the compensation criteria should be activated through various ways such as mass media and consumer organizations.

유전자재조합식품에 대해 듣거나 알고있는 인지도는 83.7%로 한국소비자보호원이 1999년 3월중 서울시내 20세 이상 성인남녀 526명을 대상으로 선행 조사한 결과(73.4%)에 비해 더 높게 나타났으며 2001년 국제식품정보위원회가 조사한 미국 74%, 호주 83%의 국외 인지도 조사결과와 비교해서도 비슷하거나 더 높은 수치를 보였다. GM 농산물의 개발이익에 대해서는 59.1%의 소비자가 식량증산 및 기아해결에 도움을 줄 것이라고 생각하면서도, GM 식품의 안전성에 대해서는 71.6%의 소비자가 강한 의구심을 나타내고 있었으며, 특히 식품독성(52.2%), 환경에 대한 위해 가능성(40.7%)에 대한 우려가 그 대부분을 차지하였다. 이러 한 이유로 GMO로 표시되어 판매되는 식품에 대해 33.2%의 소비자가 구매거부 의사를 나타낸 반면, 7.4%의 소비자만이 구매의사를 보였다. 하지만 정보부재 등을 이유로 주변의 추이에 따라 판단을 유보하겠다는 소비자도 약 28.0%에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. GM 식품에 대한 정보원으로서는 시민단체 (44.9%), 언론매체 (19.,3%)의 순서로 높은 신뢰를 보였으나 담당 정부기관인 농림부나 식품의약품안전청의 정보는 상당히 신뢰하지 않는 것(9.6 %)으로 답변함으로써 관련부처의 노력과 분발이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 유전자재조합식품 표시의 필요성에 대한 질문에서는 99.6%의 응답자가 표시를 찬성하는 것으로 나타났으나 2001년부터 실시되고 있는 ‘유전자재조합식품 표시제도’ 인지도에 있어서는 61.7%의 응답자가 잘 모른다고 상반되게 답변함으로써 관련부처 의 홍보가 부족하였다는 사실을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 표시 제도의 개선방향에 대해서는 표시문구를 보다 알아보기 쉽게 표시(45.2%), 허위표시 여부에 대한 감시와 정보제공의 강화(24.6%), 제도시행에 대한 홍보강화(16.5%)의 순서로 답변하였으며, 대다수의 답변자(93.1%)가 향후 표시품목의 확대를 원하는 것으로 나타나 현행 표시 제도의 재검토와 개선방향에 대한 논의가 시급하다고 판단되어졌다.
