food labels, AGRICOLA FNI 92002051, In the early stages of number coding for food additives it is essential to evaluate how well consumers can identify and interpret this system and assess their attitudes to its introduction. This was tested in a study when 502 consumers were interviewed by questionnaire in six Perth suburban supermarkets and the same questionnaire was mailed to 50 members of the Allergy Association of Australia living in Western Australia. Results reported in this paper indicate only a little over a third of the general public group were able to make use of the system correctly, whereas the majority of those with recognized allergies had no problem. The data showed that in general the uses of additives in food are misunderstood and that there is a need for consumer education, ideally with the shopping center as a venue. (original)

AGRICOLA FNI 87003371, Socio-economic factors and the change in consumer attitudes toward pesticide use over two decades are examined. This investigation was done by repeating a 1965 survey. Findings show that in both 1965 and 1984 people were most concerned with the effects of pesticides on wildlife with increased concern in 1984 for farmers and farm laborers. It also shows that the concerns about both the impact of pesticides on the environment and on personal health are almost equal in strength; these results imply that the public has limited trust in the regulatory process.

James F. Evans Collection, Washington, D.C. : U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Commodity Economics Division, 1991. 30 p. (Report No. AGES 9154), An advertising campaign raised fluid milk sales by about 5,975.4 million pounds during September 1984-September 1990. Natural and processed cheese (consumed at home) sales rose by about 23 and 229 million pounds in the same period. An assessment of 15 cents per hundredweight of milk sold commercially, mandated by the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983, funded the increase in advertising. The authors use econometric demand models to introduce variables that would offset or complement dairy-centered advertising. In both branded and generic advertising, changes in market price, income, and the availability of substitute goods are factors that influence the demand for natural and processed cheese. (author)

24 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Researchers examined colors and pictures of food and drinks to determine what, if any, impact these aspects have on consumer beliefs regarding important product characteristics. Findings suggested that even when very concrete verbal information is used, graphical representations had a significant and long-term effect on product beliefs and purchase intentions.

Results suggested that while both affect attitudes toward purchasing a product, a positive attitude toward buying a particular brand might offset a negative attitude toward buying from a particular country. This study focused on appliance brands. The review of literature cited examples of research involving ice cream, wines, and leather products.
