Abstract

This study analyzed results of the rounding guidance by applying the nutrition management check list at of the Center for Children’s Foodservice Management (CCFM). Totally, 271 food services for children (65 institutional foodservices, 53 small scale foodservices, 153 family child care homes) were examined to identify the necessity of implementing a nutrition management strategy, and subsequently creating a priority list for nutrition management improvement measures. Of the 13 items examined in the nutrition management check list for children’s foodservices from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, 8 performed well, with an overall performance rate of 90% or more. Improvement plans were required for items (all belonging to the menu area) such as ‘Post menu on noticeboard at children’s foodservice’ (62.0%), ‘Use the menu planned by dietician’ (64.9%), ‘Use menu suitable for recipients in children’s foodservice’ (76.8%), and ‘Provide menu to parents’ (79.0%)’. In the analysis of service size, the performance rate for ‘Use menu suitable for recipients in children’s foodservice’ revealed a substantially lower result (P<0.01) for institutional foodservices (64.6%), as compared to small scale foodservices (71.7%) and family child care homes (83.7%). Since other check list items, did not show much differences by the service size, we ascertained it pointless to establish separate strategies based on different foodservice sizes.
