This study investigates consumer attitudes toward functional foods in the context of CLA-enhanced beef products. The objectives of this study were to identify the following issues: 1) consumer awareness and attitudes towards nutrition, functional foods, and other emerging factors; 2) consumers´...

This study investigates evidence of non-compensatory preferences by incorporating attribute cutoffs into the modeling of consumer choices in the context of food with health-related attributes (omega-3 content) that may be associated with fortification or may result from genetic modification...

This study focuses on behavioral responses to low-probability, potentially high-impact risks over which individuals have little control. A case study that represents these characteristics examines the influence of trust on consumers’ reactions to recurring food safety incidents in the context...

Non-compensatory preferences are investigated by incorporating attribute cutoffs into models of consumer choices for food with health-related attributes (omega-3 content) that may be associated with genetic modification. We find empirical evidence that some individuals tend to use attribute...

Interest in the influence of trust on consumers’ responses to food risk perceptions associated with Canadian instances of BSE motivates this study, in which Canadian households’ expenditures on fresh meat are assessed in the context of the first three recurring risk events in which bovine...

We examine determinants of consumers’ choices of functional canola oil products that may contain genetically modified (GM) ingredients, with emphasis on the influences of trust and health control beliefs. We find that both generalized trust and trust in the food system tend to offset negative...

This study relates habit persistence and trust to recurring food safety incidents in the context of a series of three BSE incidents in Canada. We examined the dynamics of monthly beef expenditure shares of a sample of Canadian households for monthly time periods during year 2002 through 2005...

This study investigates evidence of non-compensatory preferences by incorporating attribute cutoffs into the modeling of consumer choices in the context of food with health-related attributes (omega-3 content) that may be associated with fortification or may result from geneticmodification (GM)....
