Yoonah Kim Conoly,
Yee Ming Lee

Abstract: This research examined whether intrinsic (fresh) and extrinsic (local) cue words of locally grown food menu items were associated with consumers’ visual attention (i.e., fixation count and total fixation duration) and menu choice using an eye-tracking methodology and an online survey. Fifty consumers were randomly assigned to read a hyper-local restaurant menu that featured four items (with or without intrinsic or extrinsic cue words) while being eye-tracked.

“…Fifth, due to the exploratory nature of this study, it did not identify each participant's final menu choice and correlate that data with the visual attention metrics of various labeling systems. Additionally, food preference, which is shaped by a wide range of factors, such as personal preference, nutrition, familiarity, ingredients, and willingness to try new food (Conoly and Lee, 2023; Ma and Zhuang, 2021), could have affected the time individuals spent on certain food items. Future studies can incorporate additional questions to capture these factors.…”

“…They tend to quickly check all food alternatives, focus on a few food alternatives, and then compare key characteristics (e.g., price, animal feeding, and labels) [35]. Sustainable labels (country-of-origin or organic labels) attract consumers visual attention [21,34,57], but onethird of the consumers are not interested or do not pay attention to them [21,34]. Higher and lower prices receive more visual attention than medium prices [45].…”
