Consumption of Processed Foods: Review and Outlook

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb2021-0658

Abstract

Abstract:

The paper aims to review the theoretical results about processed foods’ consumption at home and abroad. By literature review and comparative analysis, this paper summed up research results on processed foods’ consumption, summarized current international frontier classification standards of processed foods, sorted out the relationship between processed foods’ consumption and nutrition and health, concluded the research situation of the influencing factors of processed foods’ consumption, and analyzed the changing trend of processed foods consumption. The results show that at present, the research object of processed foods’ consumption at home and abroad is basically a certain foreign country or region, and the qualitative research method is mainly adopted, and the research on the evolution mechanism and path of the impact of processed foods’ consumption is insufficient. Future research could be carried out from the perspective of China, using empirical research methods, focusing on the evolution mechanism and path of the impact of trade opening on processed foods’ consumption, and exploring the construction of a theoretical analysis framework linking trade opening, processed foods’ consumption and nutrition and health.

Key words: processed foods, consumption, nutrition and health, trade opening, review
