Description
Summary:Problems connected with food safety including health issues are not isolated or regionally, politically or socially restricted; they may appear anywhere in the world in different forms and severities. We should know more about consumers' behaviour, their choices of meals, what deceives them or leads towards healthy food choice. Consumer has a right to know all the facts necessary for proper decision making including regular and protected labelling. In this work, consumers' opinions have been tested on 508 subjects, residents of Novi Sad (Serbia), divided into subdivisions according to age, educational level and gender. On the basis of data on the impact of consumers age and educational level on their perception of health safety information, it is possible to anticipate the demands and model consumer behaviour.
