Consumers often compromise on food preferences due to everyday quality concerns, including safety. This impacts family food choices, leading to feelings of uncertainty and self-reproach despite individual coping strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Consumer Behavior
  • Food Studies
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Understanding consumer perceptions of food quality is crucial for public health and industry.
  • Everyday food choices are influenced by complex factors beyond simple preference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore themes in consumer discussions about everyday food quality considerations.
  • To understand how families with young children navigate food choices and quality concerns.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study using open-ended interviews with 20 families in Copenhagen.
  • Focus on narrative descriptions of daily food practices and specific meals.

Main Results:

  • Consumers discuss both positive (taste, convenience) and negative (processing, distribution) aspects of food quality.

  • Food safety concerns are integrated into everyday quality concepts, leading to individual coping strategies.
  • Reported feelings of uncertainty, helplessness, and self-reproach were common, indicating compromises in food choices.

    • Conclusions:

    • Everyday food choices often represent compromises driven by quality and safety concerns, rather than pure consumer preference.
    • Consumers develop personal strategies to manage food quality and safety issues, but this can lead to psychological distress.
    • Further research is needed to support consumers in making choices aligned with their preferences and safety needs.
