Consumer perceptions of food products involving genetic modification—results from a qualitative study in four Nordic countries

Which biotech foods are most acceptable to the public?

“…Genetically engineered foods that are processed that provide direct benefits to consumers, like improved nutritional content, are likely to be most acceptable to the public, particularly if benefits related to price-impacts and national competitiveness are understood by the public. of biotechnology uniformly [3][4][5][6][7]. There appears to be less aversion to medical applications of biotechnology than those related to food, more aversion to GE animals than plants, and greater acceptance of applications that provide tangible benefits for the consumer [8][9][10][11].…”

Using Means-end Chain Analysis to Reveal Consumers’ Motivation for Buying Local Foods: An Exploratory Study

“…This approach has frequently been applied to understand perceptions about, and why, consumers choose specific food products including beverages, different methods of farming (local and organic foods, and genetically modified products) and different kinds of foods (pork and vegetables) (Gutman 1984;Gengler et al 1999;Naspetti and Zanoli 2009;Hall and Lockshin 2000;Bredahl 1999;Grunert et al 2001;Makatouni 2002;Urala and Lähteenmäki 2003;Fotopoulos et al 2003;Baker et al 2004;Roininen et al 2006;Lind 2007;Krystallis et al 2008;Barrena and Sanchez 2010;Kirchhoff et al 2011;Arsil et al 2014b). MECs have also been identified as a useful method to reveal the drivers of consumers' food choices in the United States, many European countries including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Spain, and in Australia (Gutman 1984;Gengler et al 1995;Bech-Larsen et al 1996;Fotopoulos et al 2003;Padel and Foster 2005;Bonne and Verbeke 2006;Roininen et al 2006;Grantham 2007;Lind 2007;Krystallis et al 2008;Barrena and Sanchez 2010;Kirchhoff et al 2011).…”

This method is also used to compare the motivation for food choices between groups of consumers in different countries, and throughout many European countries (Grunert 1997;Bredahl 1999;Valette-Florence et al 2000;Grunert et al 2001;Baker et al 2004;Naspetti and Zanoli 2009). …”

Potencial do latex da fruta pão (Artocarpus altilis) como agente coagulante do leite

“…Micro-organismos utilizados pela engenharia genética podem fornecer quantidade quase ilimitada de coagulantes apropriados, mas há algumas restrições ao consumo (GRUNERT et al, 2001, LÄHTEENMÄKI et al, 2002, como as normas legais em vários países europeus, que proíbem a participação de organismos geneticamente modifi cados na fabricação de queijos orgânicos (EC, 2007).…”
