Mothering through ethical consumption”. Journal

Abstract
.
.
In this article, we examine the gendering of ethical food discourse by
focusing on the ideal of the ‘organic child’. Drawing from qualitative focus
groups and interviews with Canadian mothers of various class backgrounds, we
find that the organic child reflects the intersecting ideals of motherhood and
ethical food discourse, whereby ‘good’ mothers are those who preserve their
children’s purity and protect the environment through conscientious food
purchases. Women in our study express the desire to nurture the organic child,
and feel responsible for protecting their children’s purity. At the same time
the organic child represents a gendered burden for women, our participants
negotiate the ideal in complex ways that involve managing emotions and
balancing the normative expectations of motherhood with pragmatic demands. The
idealized figure of the organic child not only works ideologically to reinforce
gendered notions of care-work, but also works to set a classed standard for
good mothering that demands significant investments of economic and cultural capital.
We argue that the organic child ideal reflects neoliberal expectations about
childhood and maternal social and environmental responsibility by emphasizing
mothers’ individual responsibility for securing children’s futures.

Abstract
Abstract
Probiotic foods can affect large parts of the population, while therapeutic applications have a less wide scope. While commercialization routes and regulatory requirements differ for both applications, both will need good scientific support. Today, probiotics are mainly used for gastrointestinal applications, their use can easily be extended to skin, oral and vaginal health. While most probiotics currently belong to food-grade species, the future may offer new functional microorganisms in food and pharma. This review discusses the crosstalk between probiotic producers, regulatory people, medical care and healthcare workers, and the scientific community.
Highlights:
• We review the recent developments of probiotics from an industrial perspective.
• Strain-specificity and production processes are essential for probiotic functionality.
• Applications suffer from variable degrees of scientific substantiation.
• Innovative approaches provide new directions for an emerging market.
• Many factors are critical to elicit credibility for probiotic products.

Introduction: Nutritional surveys frequently collect some data of consumption of beverages; however, information from different sources and different methodologies raises issues of comparability. The main objective of this review was to examine the available techniques used for assessing beverage intake in European epidemiological studies and to describe the most frequent method applied to assess it. Materials and methods: Information of beverage intake available from European surveys and nutritional epidemiological investigations was obtained from gray literature. Results: Twelve articles were included and relevant data were extracted. The studies were carried out on healthy adults by different types of assessments. The most frequent tool used was a 7-d dietary record. Only Germany used a specific beverage assessment tool (Beverage Dietary History). Conclusion: From the limited data available and the diversity of the methodology used, the results show that consumption of beverages is different between countries. Current epidemiological studies in Europe focusing on beverage intake are scarce. Further research is needed to clarify the amount of beverage intake in European population.

Abstract
Biofuel
policies are a subset of policies designed to achieve energy security, an
improved environment, enhanced agricultural incomes, technological change, and
overall economic benefits, with increased domestic energy production creating
green jobs and foreign exchange savings. In assessing this broad spectrum of
proclaimed policy goals with the outcome of biofuel mandates, subsidies, import
barriers, binary sustainability standards, and indirect land use measures, we
identify many perverse and contradictory effects. Most importantly, we show how
biofuel policies established the crop-energy price link and hence the food-fuel
trade-off, the contradictory effects of combining mandates with different
subsidies, the various surprising welfare economic effects, and the various
inconsistencies associated with binary sustainability standards and carbon
leakages. We conclude with examples of how biofuel policies have generated
paradoxical effects in many other different dimensions.

Abstract
Empirical research shows that European governments and retailers are unlikely to be directly punished by taxpayers and consumers if they move away from their anti-GMO positions and policies. However, it is ultimately not the weak attitudes of taxpayers and consumers that matter to governments and retailers but the strong attitudes of the noisy anti-biotech movement-

Abstract
Quality assurance and labeling play an important and increasing role in
firms’ marketing strategies. In almost all cases, a price incentive has been
stressed as the major incentive for firms to participate in such schemes. We
argue here that important non-price incentives for participation in quality
labeling may exist, too. In German retailing, it can be observed that discount
retailers are listing more and more foods with quality labels. Processors may
then participate in voluntary quality labeling in order to enter the large and
growing market of discount retailers. The price-premium versus the market-entry
hypothesis are analyzed theo-retically. We investigate then in an empirical
hedonic pricing model for the German fruit juice market and for participation
in the quality label of the Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) which
of the two hypotheses is consistent with the data. There is strong support for the
market-entry hypothesis

Abstract
. .
Changes in
the food system are associated with the increase in consumption of foods with
low nutritional value in recent decades. All the 241 distinct food purchasing
sites (FPS) were grouped into ten categories, according to the nature of the
products available. Food acquisitions were organized into seven groups.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets accounted for 49% of the acquisitions and were
the main source of six out of the seven food groups. Street markets and
greengroceries stood out in the acquisitions of fruits and vegetables,
accounting for 39% of this market. The large contribution of supermarkets and hypermarkets
to the diet shows the need for healthy eating promotion policies aiming at
these locations. Street markets and greengroceries represent important allies
for healthy eating.
.
.
Highlights:
.
.
• We
estimated the food purchase sites contribution to the diet in Brazil.
• Half of
the calories consumed in Brazilian households are from super/hypermarkets.
• Street
markets and greengroceries stood out in the fruits and vegetables purchase.
• Market
concentration can increase the ultra-processed foods and drinks consumption.
• Healthy
eating promotion policies aiming super/hypermarkets are essential.

Abstract
Misleading information and unfair commercial practices have to be viewed
against the background of what consumers otherwise do, i.e., what their
purchase decisions look like when no misleading information or no unfair
commercial practices are in place. This article provides some of this
background by studying how consumers sample information when making an in-store
purchase decision. This was done by an eye-tracking study which reveals to what
extent consumers succeed in purchasing the products that best meet their
purchase intentions when only a representative amount of misleading information
is present. The study shows that decisions were suboptimal in relation to what
the consumers claimed they wanted to purchase. Only in one product category did
consumers in this study actually look at products that were slightly better
than average, and as a result, they mainly selected products that were just as
often poor as good. If the proportion of bad purchase decisions based on
misleading information is small enough, perhaps it might be better to direct
the authors’ attention to other ways of improving the decision environments
that consumers encounter. In addition, the eye-tracking study provides some
insight into how consumers sample information when making an in-store purchase
decision. The present data show that consumers invested on average of less than
1 s to look at products.

Abstract
The regulatory hurdles that exist to bring a functional food to market
often prove the greatest challenge for the food industry. Different regulatory
approaches exist worldwide, with the European Union having one of the tightest
regimes of all. EU Regulation 1924/2006 sets out the framework for nutrition
and health claims, and the system has been slow at approving claims. In recent
years, the European Food Safety Authority has published Guidance Notes to aid
industry with the application process. However, among other things, the fact
that not one probiotic has received approval has left the food industry
critical of the system. It is likely that an approval pattern will emerge in
the future, and once the pathway to approval identified, the industry will
emerge stronger and with more integrity than before.

Abstract
.
Objective - We surveyed customers in a hospital cafeteria in Boston,
Massachusetts before and after implementation of traffic light food labeling to
determine the effect of labels on customers’ awareness and purchase of healthy
foods.
.
.
Methods - Cafeteria items were identified as red (unhealthy), yellow
(less healthy), or green (healthy). Customers were interviewed before (N = 166)
and after (N = 223) labeling was implemented. Each respondent was linked to
cash register data to determine the proportion of red, yellow, and green items
purchased. Data were collected from February-April 2010. We compared responses
to survey questions and mean proportion of red, yellow, and green items per
transaction between customers interviewed during baseline and customers
interviewed during the intervention. Survey response rate was 60%.
.
.
Results - Comparing responses during labeling intervention to baseline,
more respondents identified health/nutrition as an important factor in their
purchase (61% vs. 46%, p = 0.004) and reported looking at nutrition information
(33% vs. 15%, p < 0.001). Respondents who noticed labels during the
intervention and reported that labels influenced their purchases were more
likely to purchase healthier items than respondents who did not notice labels
(p < 0.001 for both).
.
Conclusion - Traffic light food labels prompted individuals to consider
their health and to make healthier choices at point-of-purchase.

Aim - The aim of the study was to compare sodium and saturated fat contents of lunchtime fast food orders containing regular items with those containing items promoted for nutritional attributes (e.g. Subway sandwiches containing 6 g fat or less, McDonald's Heart Foundation Tick approved range).
Methods - In
March–April 2010, 907 McDonald's and Subway lunchtime customers (aged 25(16–84)
years, 59% M, 73% response rate) in Queensland, Australia were surveyed. Sodium
and saturated fat contents of orders were calculated using information from
company websites. Independent samples t- and chi-squared tests were used to
assess whether orders including nutritionally promoted fast foods contained
less sodium and saturated fat, and a chi-squared test to compare the proportion
of customers at each store whose orders exceeded the daily sodium upper limit
(2300 mg).
Results - Proportionately
more customers ordering nutritionally promoted fast foods (n = 24) ordered
meals containing ≤1300 mg sodium and ≤6 g saturated fat (83% and 92%,
respectively) than those ordering regular fast foods (n = 883, 33% and 24%,
respectively, P < 0.02). One-quarter (24%) of orders—all selected from the
regular menu—exceeded the daily sodium upper limit. Proportionately more orders
from Subway (40%) exceeded the daily sodium upper limit than from McDonald's
(5%, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
- Lunchtime fast food orders may contain less sodium and saturated fat when
nutritionally promoted foods are selected. Reformulating all fast foods may be
warranted given that fast foods contain high levels of sodium and saturated
fat, and nutritionally promoted fast foods may represent only a small
proportion of lunchtime choices.

Abstract
,
Among the WTO Agreements, the SPS Agreement provides for the strictest
rules on domestic regulatory measures. Governments adopting measures to protect
human, animal, and plant life and health have to comply with a plethora of
obligations, exceeding the disciplines contained in the GATT and the TBT.
Except for cases where scientific evidence is not available, they have to base
regulatory measures on a scientific risk assessment, be it their own or one
conducted by a third party. Given, on the one hand, the sensitivity of health
and environmental concerns and, on the other, the constraints the treaty
imposes on governments' ability to address them, the SPS Agreement has been
widely criticized for undermining democratic self-government and also for
introducing elements of "post-discrimination" into the world trade
order. This article delves into the question whether the criticism is
justified. To that end, it examines the purpose of the SPS Agreement on the
basis of economic theory and the negotiating history. It shows that much of the
criticism is exaggerated and that the SPS Agreement serves, as does every other
WTO Agreement (except for the TRIPs), a single purpose: the preservation of
market access commitments. This insight has wider implications, as it suggests
that the "correct" application of the SPS should in fact lead neither
to an (improper) impediment to democracy nor to a "post‑discriminatory"
trade regime.

The
FAO/INFOODS database on fish and shellfish (aFiSh) is a collection of
analytical data from primary sources and holds values for 2,277 entries on raw
and processed food with sufficient quality. Most data were entered on fatty
acids (60%), followed by macronutrients and their fractions (16%), minerals
(10%), amino acids (7%), (pro)vitamins (2%), heavy metals (2%) and other
components (3%). Information on several factors that contribute to the
variation of compositional data (e.g. biodiversity, catch season, habitat, size
and part of fish/shellfish analyzed) as well as the bibliographic references
are presented alongside with each food entry. The data were published in the
FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Database for Biodiversity (BioFoodComp2.0) and in
the FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database (AnFooD1.0), freely
available at the INFOODS webpage http://www.fao.org/infoods/biodiversity/index_en.stm
. The provision of easy accessible, analytical compositional data should be
seen as stimulation for researchers and compilers to incorporate more
analytical and detailed data of fish and shellfish into future food composition
tables and databases and to improve dietary assessment tools.

Abstract
.
.
There has been a dramatic expansion and diversification of knowledge,
expertise and expectation associated with farm animal welfare and we witness
its increasing adoption within legislative and policy strategies. This article
examines how the understanding of what constitutes farm animal welfare and how
it should be enhanced, has shifted since it first entered the modern political
arena in the sixties. It explores farm animal welfare as a critical and
shifting area of imbrication of ‘science’ and ‘society’ and charts this process
in particularly the UK and The Netherlands. We demonstrate how public and
scientific debates about what constitutes animal welfare, what counts as
evidence of animal suffering and how welfare enhancement should be encouraged,
has unveiled the tensions underlying its construction as a policy problem
between social and animal science, productivity and integrity, as well as
production and consumption and has turned animal welfare into a matter of
societal choice. The article unravels the social construction of animal welfare
science and reveals its limited capability of delivering ‘facts’ or ‘evidence’
in any truly objective manner.

Abstract

Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology which provides appealing
opportunities to improve the management of information flow within the supply
chain and security in the agri-food sector. Nowadays, food safety is considered
a major requirement in several countries, in particular, the traceability of food
products which is mandatory by law. Thus, technological implementation leading
to traceability strengthening in the agri-food sector is crucial. The first aim
of this review is to analyze the current developments in RFID technology in the
agri-food sector, through an operative framework which organizes the literature
and facilitate a quick content analysis identifying future research direction.
RFID technology seems to be able to bring great opportunities to this sector;
nevertheless, several constraints are slowing its adoption. This survey may
provide readers with an exhaustive overview of opportunities and constraints
for the wide adoption of RFID. The second aim of this review is to provide an
updated analysis on the current developments of RFID technology for different
product typologies within the agri-food industry, discussing at the same time
its potential in technological and logistical development regarding different
sectors of the production/distribution chain. As referenced here, RFID implementations
in the agri-food sector are increasing at a fast rate, and technological
advancement follows the applicability opportunities. However, real applications
of RFID technologies are still limited because of various technical and
economical obstacles which are also discussed.

Abstract
.
Purpose -
A food traceability system that provides detailed information on food
production, processing, transfer, and distribution can create value in food
exchange. This study investigates which type of consumer personality places
greater value on the food traceability label.
Design/methodology/approach
- According to the meta-theoretic model of motivation and personality (3M),
this study develops a framework that links personality traits with food safety
issues. Data are collected from a survey of consumers in shopping malls. The
research hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling.
Findings -
Based on the 3M hierarchical model, consumers who have open, conscientious, and
extroverted personalities, and material and body needs tend to have higher
needs for learning and health consciousness. They care more for food value and
have positive perception of food traceability labels. This results in
intentions to purchase products with a food traceability label.
Practical
implications - Using our conclusions on the relationship of personality traits
with a food traceability system, we provide suggestions for businesses planning
marketing strategies to gain competitive advantages. For consumers, a food
traceability system creates value in food exchange. Regarding policy concerns,
the government should regulate the implementation of a food traceability label
to disclose comprehensive information regarding food safety.
Originality/value
- Although various constructs are linked to food traceability, few studies have
focused on the value of food exchange. Consumers with specific personality
characteristics have different perceptions and reactions to a food traceability
system. This study can fill the knowledge gap regarding the relationship
between the value of food exchange and consumer personality traits.
