Food Neophobia and Consumer Choices within Vietnamese Menu in a Polish Cohort Study

Abstract: One of the factors influencing consumer food choices is food neophobia (FN), described as a reluctance to try novel or unknown food products.

“…In the absence of such an association, respondents with a high level of food neophobia chose dishes with animal-based components, which was observed for starters and main courses, less often than those with a low level of food neophobia. The general association between food neophobia and the choice of dishes with components of non-neophobic potential (familiar to the studied sample) was also stated in previous studies [ 16 , 17 ]. Similarly, associations between food neophobia and the reduced intake of fruits and vegetables [ 42 ], as well as low diet variety, have been well established [ 43 ].…”

However, familiarity with a specific cuisine may be another important determinant of restaurant meal choice, as familiar food products are generally preferred over unfamiliar ones [ 18 ].…”

“…Los resultados guardan consistencia con otras investigaciones que han empleado la ENA en diferentes contextos en México (Salgado et al, 2016;Bernal-Gil et al, 2020) Otro aspecto a destacar es que el estudio fue llevado a cabo en tiempos de la pandemia de COVID-19, lo que sugeriría que al menos en este sector de la población, la epidemia causada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 no ha afectado significativamente en los niveles de miedo o rechazo de alimentos nuevos extraños entre algunos sectores de la población joven del país. Guzek et al (2021) reportaron también que algunos consumidores jóvenes presentaron bajos niveles de neofobia alimentaria en tiempos de COVID-19.…”
