Insights from Spain 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The presence in the market of food products with nutritional claims is increasing. The objective of this paper is to assess consumers’ valuation of some nutritional claims (‘high in fiber’ and ‘reduced saturated fat’) in a European country and to test for differences among consumers. An artefactual non-hypothetical experiment was carried out in a realistic setting (mock/real brick-and-mortar supermarket) with a sample of 121 Spanish consumers stratified by gender, age, and body mass index. A latent class model was specified and estimated with the data from the experiment. Results indicate that consumers positively valued both nutritional claims, but the valuation was heterogeneous, and three consumer segments were detected. Two of them positively valued both nutritional claims (named ‘nutritional claim seekers’), while the third segment’s valuation was negative (named ‘nutritional claim avoiders’). This last segment is characterized by being younger males with university studies who give the least importance to health, natural ingredients, and the calorie/sugar/fat content when shopping. They pay less attention to nutritional information, and they stated that they use this information to a lesser extent. These consumers showed the least interest in healthy eating, and they reported that they do not have health problems related to their diet. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S01 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.196 2017 NUTRITION & DIETETICS 18 / 81 = 0.222 2017 Q1 T1 1.557 2017 Nutrition and Dietetics 2017 Q1 Food Science 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-3096-302X Gracia, A. 9, 2 (2017), 132 NUTRIENTS Nutrients 2072-6643 576443 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61694/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 112960 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61694/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada oai:zaguan.unizar.es:61694 articulos driver 2019-07-09-11:36:14 ARTICLE
