Behavioural intentions towards cultured meat: the role of personal values, domain-specific innovativeness and distrust in scientists

Leonore Lewisch et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of distrust in scientists on the acceptance of cultured meat and finds that both universalism and domain-specific innovativeness have a positive impact on consumers' behavioral intentions. In addition, the study also finds that consumers' innovativeness mitigates the negative effect of distrust in scientists on the willingness to try cultured meat.

The influence of health star rating labels on plant-based foods: The moderating role of consumers' believability

Ming Yang Avon Ang et al.

Summary: Plant-based meat analogues are increasingly used by consumers as a substitute for traditional meat, driven by health motivations. This study investigates the impact of health star rating (HSR) labels on consumers' perceived healthiness and purchase intentions of plant-based versus animal-based food products, as well as the moderating effect of perceived believability in product package information. A survey of 582 U.S. residents conducted in March 2022 revealed that the effectiveness of HSR labels in influencing perceived healthiness varied depending on the perceived believability, with different effects on plant-based and animal-based products.

Will cultured meat be served on Chinese tables? A study of consumer attitudes and intentions about cultured meat in China

Haoran Li et al.

Summary: This research examines Chinese consumers' attitudes and intentions towards cultured meat. The study also investigates the influence of different names (cultured meat, artificial meat, and cell-based meat) and information provision on framing effects. Among the 1532 participants, a majority were unfamiliar with cultured meat and cell-based meat, while 70% had heard of artificial meat. Approximately 44% were willing to try cultured meat, and 32% indicated a likelihood of purchase. Participants showed less dislike for the terms cultured meat and cell-based meat compared to artificial meat, despite the latter's familiarity. Providing neutral information about the production process increased consumer support for cultured meat, although the impact was limited. Prior knowledge and naming terms were strong predictors of attitudes and willingness to buy. A key implication is the need for caution in using framing strategies when introducing cultured meat to the public.

Effect of informative claims on the attitude of Italian consumers towards cultured meat and relationship among variables used in an explicit approach

Maria Piochi et al.

Summary: The study compared the effects of different informational claims on consumers' attitude towards cultured meat and found that environmental claims had a unifying effect, while human safety and animal welfare claims were divisive across sex and age groups. There was a positive correlation between favour, willingness to try, willingness to purchase, and willingness to substitute traditional meat with cultured meat, but these response variables seemed not to be interchangeable.

Food neophobia, food choice and the details of cultured meat acceptance

Robert P. Hamlin et al.

Summary: This study found that consumer response to lab grown 'cultured meat' and meat derived from insects, plants and animals is mainly influenced by affective factors. The general neophobia scale performed poorly as a predictor, while the CM evaluation scale performed well, with preferences for meat products varying based on their origins, with insect protein being strongly disfavoured.

Consumers' attitudes towards lab-grown meat, conventionally raised meat and plant-based protein alternatives

Livia Garcez de Oliveira Padilha et al.

Summary: Concerns over global meat production and consumption patterns have sparked interest in alternative protein sources. This study explores consumers' attitudes towards lab-grown chicken and beef, highlighting positive beliefs regarding eating experience, safety, animal welfare, and healthiness as factors influencing willingness to consume. While beliefs regarding environmental friendliness were not significant, plant-based meat alternatives were seen most positively in terms of animal welfare and environmental impact.

What are the main sensory attributes that determine the acceptance of meat alternatives?

Malgorzata Starowicz et al.

Summary: The market for meat substitutes is growing, including cultured meat and edible insects as potential alternatives. Besides vegans and vegetarians, flexitarians are also likely to purchase meat alternatives to reduce meat consumption. Consumers expect meat alternatives to resemble meat in taste, aroma, and texture, and 3D printing technology may play a role in the future.

Factors Affecting Consumers' Cultivated Meat Purchase Intentions

Filipe Quevedo-Silva et al.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the purchase intention of cultivated meat. The results showed that clean production and food safety were positively related to the intention to purchase, while the naturalness of food had a negative relationship. In addition, the influence of clean production on purchase intentions became less important as the level of food neophobia increased.

Is cultured meat a promising consumer alternative? Exploring key factors determining consumer's willingness to try, buy and pay a premium for cultured meat

Meike Rombach et al.

Summary: This study used a sample from multiple countries and regions and employed partial least square structural equation modeling to identify key factors influencing consumers' willingness to try, buy, and pay a price premium for cultured meat. The study found that food neophobia, food allergies, being a locavore, and concerns about food technology inhibited consumers' willingness, while food curiosity, meat importance, and perceived viability of cultured meat as an alternative positively impacted consumers' willingness to try, buy, and pay more.

Livia Garcez de Oliveira Padilha et al.

Summary: The study conducted latent class cluster analysis on a nationally representative sample of 1,078 Australian food shoppers to explore market potential for lab-grown meat (LGM) in Australia. Six consumer clusters were identified, with three showing willingness to consume LGM and one segment, Prospective LGM eaters (12%), being very willing to consume LGM. Insights from the characteristics of each cluster can help tailor product development and marketing strategies for consumers with the greatest potential to consume LGM.
