초록

본 연구는 음식점 원산지표시제에 대한 소비자 인식과 외식행태, 그리고 지식수준과 그에 따른 확장된 계획행동이론의 변수들과 유의한 차이가 있는지 분석해보았다. 조사대상자의 외식행태와 음식점 원산지표시제 관련 일반사항에 대한 문항에 대해 조사한 결과 조사대상자의 주당 외식횟수는 7회 이상, 외식 시 1회당 비용은 1~2만원 미만이 가장 많았다. 조사대상자들은 원산지를 가장 중요시하는 식품으로 어패류이고, 육류, 가공식품 순이었다. 또한 식품 선택 시 가장 중요하게 여기는 사항에서는 원산지표시가 가장 높았으며, 위생, 품질, 영양표시 등의 순으로 나타났다. 원산지표시제를 보고 메뉴를 선택 할 의향이 있는지를 묻는 문항에서는 대다수의 소비자들이 원산지표시제를 보고 메뉴를 선택할 의향이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 음식점 원산지표시제 관련 지식수준을 측정한 결과 전체 평균점수는 6.3/10점이었다. 가장 정답률이 낮았던 항목은 '죽, 식혜, 떡, 면 등도 원산지표시를 해야 한다'이고, 전반적으로 소비자들은 대체적으로 현재 시행되고 있는 외식업체 원산지표시제에 대한 일반적인 사항들에 대한 지식수준은 높았으나 세부적으로 물어보는 문항에서는 낮은 정답률을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 음식점 원산지표시제의 지식수준 (하위집단, 상위집단)에 따른 일반적 사항과 외식행태에서는 일반사항과는 최종학력과 직업에서 분포에 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 향후 연구에서는 원산지 표시를 위한 홍보 및 보다 구체적인 사례를 포함한 가이드라인의 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 이러한 결과들을 토대로 소비자들의 인식 변화에 대한 후속 연구도 같이 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 많은 후속연구의 결과들이 이루어진다면 보다 식품 안보나 식품 안전성 정책 방향 개선에도 큰 도움이 될 것이기 때문이다. 추후 연구에서 이러한 결과가 반영되기를 기대해 본다.

Purpose: Because of recent global and domestic issues regarding the safety of food, there is growing concern over food safety and interest in the country-of-origin for food ingredients from restaurants. This study was conducted to reveal the influence of consumer level of knowledge and awareness regarding restaurants and the country-of-origin labeling. Methods: To accomplish this, a primary survey of adults aged over 20 years old was conducted to measure customers' knowledge regarding country-of-origin labeling for restaurants. Respondents were then divided into a lower group and an upper group based on their level of knowledge to evaluate significant differences between groups. A total of 437 of 460 questionnaires were analyzed. Results: The average knowledge score regarding country-of-origin labeling for restaurants was 6.3 out of 10. Additionally, there were significant differences between the lower and upper group in terms of the final education level and occupation. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop guidelines and public relations for country-of-origin labeling of restaurants.
