چکیده

برچسب‏ گذاری مواد غذایی از جمله موارد ضروری در آگاهی دادن به خریدار در هنگام خرید است. افراد با توجه به شرایط متفاوت جسمانی خود نیازهای متعددی برای دقت به محتویات و برچسب‎های مواد غذایی مصرفی خود دارند. با توجه به گسترش استفاده از محصولات بسته‎ بندی شده، بالا رفتن فرهنگ مردم و توجه به سلامت جامعه، برچسب‎ گذاری ابزاری مهم جهت اطلاع‎رسانی به مصرف‎کنندگان و سنجش سلامت محصولات محسوب می‎شود که باید به‎نحو مطلوب و با کارایی بالا مورد استفاده قرار گیرد تا نقش به‎ سزایی در کاهش بیماری‎های غیرواگیر ایفا نمایند. پژوهش حاضر در قالب یک مطالعه کتابخانه‎ای و با استفاده از مقالات مرتبط در بانک‎های اطلاعاتی و موتورهای جستجو انجام شده‎است. همچنین قوانین و مقررات برچسب‎ گذاری در کشورهای کانادا، انگلستان، ژاپن، استرالیا و نیوزیلند، افریقای‎جنوبی، امارات، مالزی، ترکیه، اتحادیه ‎اروپا و کدکس‎غذایی بررسی و با ضوابط موجود در ایران مقایسه‎ شد. نتایج این مطالعه نشان داد که حدود 90% قوانین بین‎المللی بررسی‎شده مرتبط با برچسب‎ گذاری در کشورهای مختلف، با ایران مطابقت دارد. بر اساس مطالعات پیشین با توجه به فراوانی اطلاعات مندرج، محدودیت زمانی در هنگام خرید فرآورده‌های غذایی از یک سو و ناخوانا بودن برخی اطلاعات در برچسب‎ ها و مخدوش‎ شدن آنها و همچنین غیر قابل ‎فهم بودن اطلاعات، دستیابی به اهداف سیاست برچسب‌ گذاری حاصل نشده‌است. این مطالعه لزوم وجود یک طرح منسجم و ضرورت یکسان‎ سازی برچسب‎ های تمامی محصولات غذایی را برای جلوگیری از سردرگمی و بلاتکلیفی مصرف‎ کننده در حیطه برچسب‎ های غذایی آشکار می‏ کند.
