“…Consumers use simple learned heuristics of visual appearance to make food selection rather than the time-consuming process of comparing large amounts of data (Schulte-Mecklenbeck et al, 2013). Consumers' lack of experience of abnormally shaped food leads them to view such produce as more risky and less natural than produce that conforms to supermarket standards (Loebnitz and Grunert, 2018). Although moderate differentiation/incongruity of produce may increase the attention paid to that product by a consumer (e.g.…”

“…Research seems to indicate that consumers do indeed have a preference for fruit and vegetables with a good appearance in relation to size, colour, weight, and shape (De Hooge et al, 2017;Loebnitz, Schuitema and Grunert, 2015;Loebnitz and Grunert, 2018;Göbel et al, 2015;Stenmarck et al, 2011). This preference seems to stem from a demand for safe, quality products in terms of taste and shelf life.…”

“…This preference seems to stem from a demand for safe, quality products in terms of taste and shelf life. Consumers use the appearance of fruit and vegetables to determine whether the products will be safe and delicious (Jongen et al, 1998;Loebnitz and Grunert, 2018). Therefore, consumer expectations in relation to food safety and quality are important.…”

“…Onderzoek lijkt uit te wijzen dat consumenten inderdaad een voorkeur hebben voor groenten en fruit met goede uiterlijke eigenschappen, in termen van grootte, kleur, gewicht en vorm (De Hooge et al, 2017;Loebnitz, Schuitema and Grunert, 2015;Loebnitz and Grunert, 2018;Göbel et al, 2015;Stenmarck et al, 2011). Deze voorkeur lijkt voort te komen uit een vraag naar veilige producten en producten van goede kwaliteit in termen van smaak en houdbaarheid.…”

“…Deze voorkeur lijkt voort te komen uit een vraag naar veilige producten en producten van goede kwaliteit in termen van smaak en houdbaarheid. Consumenten maken gebruik van de uiterlijke kenmerken van groenten en fruit om in te schatten of de producten veilig en smaakvol zullen zijn (Jongen et al, 1998;Loebnitz and Grunert, 2018). Van belang zijn dus de verwachtingen van consumenten betreffende de voedselveiligheid en kwaliteit.…”
