Street food markets are important for local economic development, but they must also meet visitors’ demands while operating. Since consumers’ trust is based on their perception on different aspects of these markets, the aim of this work was to study which factors most affected their purchase decision criteria. A total of 950 surveys were collected in 21 street markets (Canary Islands, Spain), recording data from the consumers’ estimation on food safety-related items (i.e., hygiene conditions of market installations, products, and food handlers) as well as other categories (i.e., prices and staff professionalism). The gathered data let us determine whether sociodemographic consumers variables like age, gender, or education level influenced their perceptions. The scores showed a strong correlation, the subsequent principal components analysis explained 81% of variability only with the first two components. The level of tolerance toward all items underlies in the first component, which was significantly higher for those aged 60 and older, but no significant correlation was found for gender or level of education. The youngest participants were more demanding about food safety-related aspects, while the middle-aged group was more critical of prices. This was especially true of females, who demanded better quality:price ratios. Knowing these preferences could facilitate the development of more effective marketing strategies, helping make street markets more competitive.

“…New brand awareness affects the formation and the strength of new brand associations, including perceived quality (Amegbe, 2016). Many researchers (Kuksov, 2007) have emphasized it as an essential condition for the competitiveness in the market, which also includes food-quality information (Nagyova et al, 2011). Therefore, buyers started looking for safer and better controlled labelling of food products, the ones made in a more environmentally friendly, authentic, and locally oriented way (Rembialkowska, 2004).…”

The methodology of study is based on a new educational thinkingto use analytics to build ideas and make them better. The article analyzes the equity of a new product in terms of consistency of the equity of a new brand. The aim of the study -to identify the new product's consistency quality importance on the new brand equity when the customer chooses a new product (the example: candy in boxes). Theoretical study was based on the analysis of scientific literature, synthesis, logical generalisation, graphic modeling and a survey (2017 (n = 416)). Analysing the equity of the new product consistency for the new brand equity structure. Recognizing that consumer choice depends on the equity of the new consistency of the product offered to him by the firm's offer, the practical test of the scientific concept has been chosen from the original study, analyzing the equity of the candys in boxes as a new product for the consumer. The results allow us to make assumptions about what elements of the new consistency of the product could influence the success of the new brand on the candy market. The consistency quality of a new food product is essential factor of a new brand equity. The results of the study lead to conclusion that new food product (candys in boxes) Lithuanian shoppers perceive the importance of consistency quality and assess the identity (as unique products) (between high and medium value), which is forming a positive image of the product (quality assurance). The results of the research can be applied to the needs of the consumers of the Lithuanian candys in boxes market. Keywords: new brand, new product consistency, candy, quality, equity.Problem. Researchers Kitt, Sträter (2008) in their the study concluded that sugar-free confections grew much faster than those made with sugars, mainly because they dominated the new-product launches. Chocolate products are the most important products of candy that are popular with a lot and as a source of energy in addition to its high nutritional value. Chocolate is the most frequently craved food (El-kalyoubi et al., 2011). However, chocolate is classified as a high calorie food due to the high fat and sugar contents. These contents have negative effects on health (Kim et al. 2017), Black chocolate, black chocolate candys without synthetic food additives, no GMO, sugar reduction, organic consistency are good effect effects on health.Lithuania, as well as other countries in the world, pays more and more attention to food quality. This is determined by botha new buyer approach to food and human concern. Does this claim confirm the fact of the purchase of candys according to their quality characteristics in Lithuania.In this study, the research problem presupposes the aim of the study -to identify the new product's consistency quality importance on the new brand equity when the customer chooses a new product (the example: candy in boxes).The logic of realisation of the aim emphasizes the following goals: 1) To analyze the theoretical model concepts for new brand new food pro...

The food safety is the main concern of the politicians and inhabitants in whole Europe. According the currently valid legislation the food should be save. The food should be safe from all aspects: chemical, microbiological, physical and radiological. Physical hazard/foreign body in food is perceived by public as something to be very simply solved by food business operators. However, foreign body is the biggest single source of customer complaints received by food business operators, retailers and enforcement authorities. In even the best-managed processes, the accidental presence of unwanted items could occasionally occur. Foreign body in food is believed to be a matter of concern to all food business operators. However, the level of inclusion of physical hazards by Czech food business operators in the hazard analysis is still low. Consumers experience with foreign bodies in food or even health problems caused by foreign bodies is continuing high level. Consumer complaints regarding foreign bodies reported from food products should be an important question for the food industry that should implement corrective actions to prevent such unwanted events.
