The physiological function of intellectually disabled individuals is greatly affected by their eating habit, and todays’ food package labeling comes in all sorts that easily confuse people. Hence, it is a pressing issue to understand intellectually disabled individuals’ ability to choose and buy food and identify food additives.
This study aimed to investigate the intellectually disabled students’ eating behavior, labeling of artificial foods with additives, and food purchase intention-using a special education school as example.
(1) The intellectually disabled students from different grades reached significant standards in “labeling of food additives” and “awareness of food additives”; the intellectually disabled students with varying degrees of barriers reached significant standards in “labeling of food additives”, “awareness of food additives”, and “food purchase intention”.
(2) Labeling and knowledge of food additives showed a highly positive correlation(r=.703,p=.000);labeling of food additives and food purchase intention showed a highly positive correlation (r=.711,p=.000); the relationship between knowledge of food additives and food purchase intention also showed a highly positive correlation(r=.736,p=.000).
