“…The fields related with food neophobia [87] and new technologies were also addressed [88], but now, in some studies, for more recent tendencies such as nanotechnologies [89], or new approaches such as those related to cultured meat [90]. In these frameworks related with new technologies and food neophobia, the socio-demographic characteristics have their implications on the intention to buy [91].…”

Food and Consumer Attitude(s): An Overview of the Most Relevant Documents

Food markets have, at least, two dimensions. One is related to supply, where food marketing, for example, plays a determinant role, namely to promote healthy and balanced consumption. The other dimension is associated with demand, where it is important to understand and bring insights about consumer attitudes, because they have implications on patterns of food consumption. In this framework, the main objective of this research is to suggest an alternative approach for conducting systematic reviews based on bibliometric analysis and implement it on topics about food and consumer attitudes. For this purpose, the most important bibliographic items (authors, sources, organizations, countries and documents) were identified and later the most relevant documents were reviewed. In addition, 908 documents were selected on 11 December 2020 from the Web of Science Core Collection, for the topics “food” and “consumer attitude*”, and analyzed through bibliometric analysis with the support of the VOSviewer and Gephi software. These documents were also benchmarked with those available in the Scopus scientific database. The approach presented here made it possible to highlight the main insights from the scientific literature related to consumer attitudes to food and bring about further contributions to a literature review supported by bibliometric analysis. This proposal may be known as MB2MBA2 (Methodology Based on Benchmarking of Metadata, from scientific databases, and Bibliometric Assessment and Analysis). This systematic review highlights that organic foods, food neophobia, climate change, marketing strategies and interrelationships between motivations–consumer attitudes–perceptions–purchase intentions–purchase decisions (MAPID) deserved special attention. In addition, MAPID interactions are impacted, among other dimensions, by labelling, branding and trust in the information provided. Future research should further address impacts on consumer attitudes towards food, such as those related to climate-smart agriculture, food 4.0, food security and protection, and climate change and malnutrition.

“…Similarly, consumers who were forced to read trusted scientific statements on the safety of GM foods reduced their concerns about the safety of GM foods (Stanton et al, 2021). Studies also show that the effect of consumers' perceived knowledge of the safety of GM foods varies based on the type of knowledge they are exposed to (Hasell & Stroud, 2020) and consumer perceptions of science and scientists also affect their food choices (Kim & Fang, 2020).…”

Determinants of consumer acceptance of gene‐edited foods and its implications for innovators and policymakers

et al. 2023

Gene-editing is a breakthrough technology for crop improvement that addresses many concerns associated with its predecessor and distinctly different technology, genetically modified crops. The commercial success of gene-editing technology depends on the public's acceptance of its foods. This study used data from a national survey of United States consumers to identify the determinants of consumer acceptance of gene-edited foods and compared them with those of genetically modified foods. Our study shows that consumer awareness and knowledge of gene-edited foods are almost half those of genetically modified foods. In the study, we classified survey respondents in three clusters based on their attitudes toward food technologies and corporate distrust: technology-loving, neutral, and technologyaverse. The technology-averse cluster has the greatest share of individuals who indicated being aware of and knowledgeable about gene-edited foods, and the largest share of respondents who stated having negative views toward agricultural biotechnology. Technology-loving individuals have more positive perceptions about agricultural biotechnology and are more likely to consume genetically modified and gene-edited foods in the future than neutral

“…Although scientific evidence indicates that GM foods pose no human or environmental health risks, the public perception of GMOs diverges significantly. In the US, upwards of 75% of consumers are concerned about the perceived health and environmental risks of GM foods; 70% of consumers believe that consuming GM food is dangerous and 51% of Americans perceive GMOs to be worse for health than non-GM alternatives [ 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Although attitude has been successfully used to predict behavior within many health decision contexts [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], attitude alone may be insufficient for predicting consumer purchasing behavior with regard to GM-labeled products.…”

GMO Food Labels Do Not Affect College Student Food Selection, Despite Negative Attitudes towards GMOs

US Public Law 114–216 dictates that food producers in the United States of America will be required to label foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) starting in 2022; however, there is little empirical evidence demonstrating how U.S. consumers would use food labels that indicate the presence or absence of GMOs. The aim of this two-phase study was to determine how attitudes towards GMOs relate to food choices and how labels indicating the presence or absence of GMOs differentially impact choices among college students—the age group which values transparent food labeling more than any other. Participants (n = 434) made yes/no choices for each of 64 foods. In both phases of the study, participants were randomly assigned to seeing GMO Free labels, contains GMOs labels, or no GMO labels. Across the two phases, 85% of participants reported believing that GMOs were at least somewhat dangerous to health (42% believed GMOs to be dangerous), yet in both studies, although eye-tracking data verified that participants attended to the GMO labels, these labels did not significantly affect food choices. Although college consumers may believe GMOs to be dangerous, their food choices do not reflect this belief.
