“…This is in line with the outcomes by Anakpo and Mishi (2021) , who have found that food-related industry fields were likely to operate at their normal level during the Covid-19 period. Furthermore, this study also confirms that results for the F&B sector mainly depend on consumer-related factors, in line with the “impulse” or “panic” buying behavior against to food products ( Hobbs, 2020 ); at the same time, we also show that this behavior was evident at the beginning of the pandemic emergency, but also had short-term effects, thus supporting the conclusion of generally changed food consumption habits by customers ( Sgroi and Modica, 2022 ). Despite the increased requests, results also show that F&B was able to guarantee good service performance to customers, seeing only a slightly worse performance during the lockdown period, probably due to interruptions or limitations downstream the SC, which as well emerged as relevant causes of the change in the volumes handed.…”

“…A decrease in demand has been observed because of consumers' less frequent store visits and restrictions/limitations to people movements ( Ramakumar, 2020 ; Montenegro and Young, 2020 ); at the same time, however, various studies have shown that the early lockdown measures have changed the people's purchasing behavior (the so-called “panic buying”), causing unexpected peaks of demand that have strongly increased the food consumption ( Borsellino et al, 2020 ; Loske, 2020 ). Sgroi and Modica (2022) have also demonstrated some changed consumers' habits related to food consumption in the Covid-19 period.…”

“… Di Renzo et al (2020) discuss how much the Italian population followed the Mediterranean dietary pattern during confinement, concluding that there was no deterioration and highlighting that the consumption of fresh produce did not decrease despite generalized difficulties of food supply ( Sgroi and Modica, 2022 ). At the same time, consumption of salty snacks, processed meats, and sugary drinks decreased.…”

“…Although consumers purchased more locally produced food during the last years of the COVID-19 pandemic ( 5 ), these changes may not become a stable shopping habit after the pandemic ( 6 ), e.g., because localized and small food supply chains are less cost-efficient than large retailers and offer less product variety at higher prices ( 7 ). A deeper understanding of why many consumers reduced their purchases of local food can be gained by looking at consumers' perceptions of the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes of local food.…”
