Resumo: | The transgenic foods had appeared as result of the scientific and technological advances of genetic engineering applied to agriculture, configuring themselves in a current quarrel and sufficient controversy, about how much the benefits and curses brought to the consumers and the proper environment. In this intention, this study has as objective to verify the level of knowledge of customers of a supermarket of the noble area of the city of Fortaleza, on the thematic of the transgenic. Questionnaires structuralized with questions on transgenic foods with consumers of a situated supermarket in noble area of the city of Fortaleza in the period of March of 2003 had been applied. Sixty consumers had participated of the study who at the moment were making purchases in the supermarket. It was presented the end of the interview, to each consumer, a list of products, removed of the guide of the transgenic food consumer and not transgenic, available on the Greenpeace. In each list, people would have to recognize or not products of its habitual consumption. It was verified that 50% of the interviewed people had higher level of school knowledge, with 63,3% answering that they knew what transgenic foods are; 53,3% always look at the label during the purchase, being that the majority (76,7%) never saw, in the label, mention if the product is or not transgenic. It was evidenced, when interrogating on the possible risks to the health, that 33.3% find that they cause illnesses, however 51.7% would not be imported in consuming them. The opinion of the people regarding the release of these products is major (73,3%) in agreeing that the Federal Government must wait more research. From the list of products presented to the interviewed, 60% had told that they consume enter 5 to 9 products. It was evidenced that still a lack knowledge exists on the presence of transgenic in industrialized products, as well as how much to the risks consuming it. It has necessity of development of action of awareness of the group how much to the question of the right to the alimentary security |

Neste intuito, este estudo tem como objetivo verificar o nível de conhecimento de clientes de um supermercado da área nobre do município de Fortaleza, sobre a temática dos transgênicos. Foram aplicados questionários estruturados com perguntas sobre alimentos transgênicos, com consumidores de um supermercado situado em área nobre do município de Fortaleza, no período de março de 2003. Participaram do estudo 60 consumidores que, no momento, estavam fazendo compras no supermercado. Foi apresentada também uma lista de produtos, retirados do guia do consumidor de alimentos transgênicos e não transgênicos, disponibilizado pelo Greenpeace, na qual as pessoas deveriam reconhecer ou não produtos do seu consumo habitual. Foi verificado que 50% das pessoas entrevistadas tinham nível de escolaridade superior, com 63,3% respondendo que sabiam o que são alimentos transgênicos; 53,3% sempre olham o rótulo durante a compra, sendo que a maioria (76,7%) nunca viu, no rótulo, menção se o produto é ou não transgênico. Foi constatado, ao interrogar sobre os possíveis riscos à saúde, que 33,3% acham que poderiam ser acometidos por doenças, no entanto 51,7% não se importaria em consumi-los. A opinião das pessoas a respeito da liberação destes produtos é majoritária (73,3%) em concordar que o Governo Federal deve aguardar mais pesquisas. Da lista de produtos apresentada aos entrevistados, 60% relataram consumir entre 5 a 9 produtos. Constatou-se que ainda existe uma falta de conhecimento sobre a presença de transgênicos em produtos industrializados, bem como quanto aos riscos de consumí-los. Há necessidade de desenvolvimento de ações de conscientização do grupo quanto à questão do direito à segurança alimentar.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-01-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/68210.5020/682Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2004); 79-85Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 17 Núm. 2 (2004); 79-85Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 17 n. 2 (2004); 79-851806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/682/2050Calvasina, Paola GondimSilva, Cíntia Maria Torres RochaAguiar, Gilka de Albuquerque ForteAguiar, Milena RebouçasSampaio, Helena Alves de Carvalhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-01-30T20:03:34Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/682Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2019-01-30T20:03:34Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false |
