摘要
Most of the meals served at preschools are purchased and cooked by preschool staff in Turkey. This study delves preschool staff's opinions about additives, hormones, and genetically modified organisms (GMO). The data were collected from preschool staff using the Preschool Food Survey (PFS). We have found that preschool supervisors and teachers have some knowledge about the food prepared in their preschool. While there are no significant differences in between the opinions of preschool supervisors and teachers regarding to serving enriched food products, there are some significant differences among supervisors, teacher assistants and kitchen staff regarding to serving enriched foods. It is suggested that preschool staff be trained about GMO. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
