부모와 중·고등학생의 어린이 기호식품 품질인증에 대한 인식 및 만족도 연구

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the difference in perception and satisfaction between parents and middle and high school students about the quality certification of children's favorite foods through an online survey to derive measures to expand and revitalize the system. 46.7% of parents and 45.3% of middle-high school students have heard of the quality certification of children's favorite foods. The most important factors considered when purchasing children's favorite foods were raw materials and ingredients, nutrients, preferences, food period, and quality certification. Parents occasionally check the quality certification mark when purchasing or eating children's favorite foods, with 0.451 points, but middle and high school students do not check it often. It was found that parents showed significantly higher satisfaction than middle and high school students in all categories of utilization, necessity, effectiveness, influence, and delivery of children's favorite food satisfaction. In addition, neither group checks nor utilizes quality certification marks well when purchasing children's favorite foods, so policy supplementation such as promotion and education is needed. Based on this study's results, education and promotion of the system through more active and diverse channels are needed to manage children's dietary safety by expanding the quality certification of children's favorite foods in the future.
