Inaccurate beliefs about food attributes are well documented. Here, we examine how consumers’ beliefs about health, taste, and price attributes of food products affect the set of products they consider during the choice process. We analyze the set of products participants considered in an experiment on food choice in a choice environment featuring dozens of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. We examine the role that participants’ beliefs about health, taste, and price attributes of products in each potential set play in predicting attention to products. Our findings show that beliefs about taste and health significantly influence people’s choices of the product set to view. Believing that products in a particular set were relatively healthier or tastier than products in an alternative set positively predicted the choice to view that set of products. This has important implications for policies that require product comparison to be effective, such as information on nutrition facts panels or changing relative prices via taxes or subsidies. If individuals hold inaccurately negative health beliefs about a product, they may omit that product from consideration, which will prevent them from comparing that product with alternatives they do examine. Thus, belief-driven inattention to products may reduce the effectiveness of policies aiming to promote healthier food choices through the application of taxes or subsidies by preventing comparison of nutritionally diverse products.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":322,"journal":{"name":"Food Quality and Preference","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 105300"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950329324002027/pdfft?md5=9cb6cf70a40ecf2e67494573fa3ef9ab&pid=1-s2.0-S0950329324002027-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141993169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand to what extent immigrants can be used as a proxy to model overseas markets, this study investigated short (CHS) and long-term (CHL) Chinese immigrant responses to plain yoghurts compared to New Zealand (NZ) Europeans (E). Three groups (CHS, CHL and NZE, n = 222) evaluated liking of, emotional response to, and sensory perception of 10 plain yoghurts. Groups liked yoghurts similarly. Notably, NZE rated emotions lower than both immigrant groups, with a few exceptions. Both Chinese groups rated most emotions similarly, but CHL rated some closer to NZE. Positive emotions correlated with higher liking scores. However, cross-cultural differences existed for ‘guilty’ which was associated with yoghurts liked by NZE; and for ‘wild’ and ‘mild’ associated with yoghurts disliked by both immigrant groups. Citation proportions for some sensory attributes differed among all groups, dependent on the sample. But level of acculturation between immigrant groups was limited. Sweetness, vanilla, stone fruit and cream flavours, smoothness, and creaminess drove liking across all groups, whereas only the Chinese valued umami, undoubtedly due to positive associations with it. Some effects of acculturation for long-term immigrants were evident, but responses were often closer to their short-term counterparts. Therefore, immigrants in general provide a useful proxy for measuring consumer responses in early stages of product development for this overseas market, but with consideration of their residence time in the host culture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":322,"journal":{"name":"Food Quality and Preference","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 105299"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950329324002015/pdfft?md5=98414d0ac74288e9de2c6e9960e056ea&pid=1-s2.0-S0950329324002015-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142002427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, liking and familiarity of the beers and the excerpts were rated separately. Results showed that 1) the harmony evaluation of beer-excerpt pairs could be separately explained by the sensory characteristics of beers and the music; 2) Participants in the musical context evaluated the pairs differently: pairs were more harmonious, preferred and judged more familiar in the musical context than in the laboratory and the bar contexts.

Labels that are based on carbon offsets are becoming increasingly popular. However, offsetting-labels have been criticized as misleading and are subject to accusations of greenwashing. The proposal of the EU Green Claims Directive therefore requires companies to substantiate claims. This study employs a consumer survey (n = 2,109) using a between-subjects and within-subjects design to explore how German participants evaluate the climate impact of six food products (ranging from low to very high) through five distinct climate labels: (1) ‘climate-neutral’ (without any declaration), (2) ‘climate-compensated’, (3) ‘climate-neutral and CO<sub>2</sub>-compensated product’ (declaration according to the proposed EU Green Claims Directive), (4) informative labels indicating the actual climate impact as a numeric carbon footprint (kg CO<sub>2</sub>eq/kg of food) or (5) as an interpretative traffic light-like label. Except for the numeric indication of the carbon footprint (4) and the traffic light (5), all climate labels significantly skewed perceptions of a food’s climate impact positively, compared to the control group without any label. The effect was sometimes even stronger for highly involved consumers. In contrast, the interpretative traffic light climate label helps to correctly assess the climate impact. In summary, green claims such as ‘climate-neutral’ can be misleading by fostering a false perception of a food’s climate impact, even when the compensatory character is explained or justified close to the claim. This challenges the approach of the draft European Green Claims Directive, which posits that additional information (‘substantiation’) is sufficient to avoid misconceptions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":322,"journal":{"name":"Food Quality and Preference","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 105294"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142020909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, a survey was conducted among 1040 Mexican egg consumers in different shopping venues. The average level of concern about hen welfare was 8.6/10, with higher levels of concern among female respondents and those aged 50 and over. Consumers agreed on the impact of welfare conditions on egg quality and the need for hens to be able to express natural behaviors. However, they lacked sufficient information about existing regulations and how hens are reared. At least 54% of consumers were willing to pay a price premium for cage-free eggs and could be further categorized into three groups based on the percentage of price premium they were willing to pay. Gender and age were significant factors differentiating consumer attitudes towards hen welfare at the socio-demographic level. However, these attitudes did not determine WTPPP for cage-free eggs. In contrast, education level played a crucial role in determining WTPPP, but not attitudes towards WLH. Our results indicate that paying premiums for cage-free eggs is insufficient to drive the industry’s conversion to cage-free housing systems for egg production.

Signals from the body guide this behaviour, relying on the ability to sense internal sensations. Impaired interoception has been linked to unhealthy eating habits. However, the impact of anhedonia (reduced ability to experience pleasure) on interoception and eating behaviour has not yet been studied and could enhance our understanding of eating behaviour. We conducted a cross-sectional study using self-report measures on 309 Chinese consumers with high (n = 150) and low (n = 159) anhedonic traits to explore differences in interoceptive experiences of snack food consumption. Specifically, we investigated interoceptive awareness, intuitive eating, and food-related pleasure using validated questionnaires. Additionally, we examined snack intake frequency, drivers of snack food consumption and post-ingestive sensations using self-developed questionnaires. We hypothesised that individuals with high anhedonic traits would exhibit low interoceptive awareness and lower intensity of interoceptive sensations linked to snack food consumption. Consistent with our hypotheses, low interoceptive awareness and intuitive eating were observed in individuals with high anhedonic traits. Furthermore, individuals with high anhedonic traits reported lower food-related pleasure, lower healthy snack intake frequency, and lower intensity of post-ingestive sensations for healthy snacks compared to the group with low anhedonic traits. Differences detected between groups were mainly detected for healthy snacking and not unhealthy snacking. Understanding how anhedonic traits relate to food pleasure and bodily sensations related snack consumption can provide novel insights and clarify focus areas for developing strategies supporting interoceptive awareness for long-term dietary behaviour changes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":322,"journal":{"name":"Food Quality and Preference","volume":"122 ","pages":"Article 105282"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950329324001848/pdfft?md5=506398910f07421fb65122c6c2874cd0&pid=1-s2.0-S0950329324001848-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
