Utilization and Recognition of Foodservice Dietitians for Functional Foods in Schools of Gyeong-Gi Areas

The present study aimed to investigate utilization and recognition of foodservice dietitians for functional foods. Subjects of this study were a total of 150 dietitians working in elementary, middle, and high schools of Gyeong-ki area. Major findings of this study were: 1) among a total of 80 functional foods, calcium-enriched milk and tofu were most frequently utilized in those schools; 2) 72.7% of the subjects answered that functional foods should be used in schools; 3) the subjects confirmed most of the contents in the obligatory food labelings before use, but they tended not to confirm and satisfy on the 'labeling related with safety for consumers'. The present study suggests that foodservice dietitians need to carefully choose functional foods used in schools with reasonable standards.
