| Research Abstract |
Issues arising from the inappropriate use of functional foods are under studied in social sciences, even though a number of problems have been reported to the government. Against this backdrop, this project examined social dimensions of functional foods by way of analyzing multiple discourses created by scientific experts, retailers, government officials, and mass media. This study found that regulation categories that demarcate food and medicine are subjected to varied interpretations by interested actors once products are put in market, resulting in health issues of users.
