영문 초록

The purpose of this study was to investigate recognition and behaviors regarding the nutrition labeling on food packages among college students. The questionnaires were distributed to 300 enrolled students and 283 were collected from June 24th to July 12th 2002. Of the students surveyed 51.9% were males, 48.1% were females, and most of the students(83.8%) were juniors and subjects in college. Food expiration date was found to be a major concern to most of the subjects accounting 69.6%, while nutrition facts were only 2.5%. Subjects responded that they seldom (37.1%) or never (37.1%) look at the nutrition label when they purchase food products. The most frequently purchased products (2-3 times per week) were vitamin C fortified foods. Subjects indicated that they should eat fruits, calcium added foods and vegetables while reduce cholesterol, fat and sweets for their health. The percentage of subjects who did not understand food labeling was high compared to who did understand it. In reading behavior, the percentage of subjects who read the nutrition labels when they bought food products was 73.5%, which means the majority of students just read the nutrition labels without understanding. Credibility score of the nutrition label was 3.0 out of 5.0, and practice score was 2.1 out of 5.0 which was very low. The major reasons why subjects did not frequently use the nutrition label were ‘not important (42.9%)’, and ‘does not understand (18.2%)’. The top three of the importance score were total calorie, calcium, and cholesterol while sodium, saturated fat and fiber were at the bottom. Eighty nine percent subjects responded that more education regarding nutrition is needed. These results reflected that nutrition class would be useful to increase the knowledge about nutrition but it did not confirm whether the students would utilize the knowledge. These results conclusively suggest that education strategies are to be developed to encourage a change of students’ behavior.
