Attitudes and behaviours of university students and workers towards ready-to-heat and eat products


Author(s): Ushas Mathew and Dr. Priyanka Sharma

Abstract: The Goal of the Research was to find out how college students and working adults in Jaipur see and use ready-to-eat foods. Ninety-three people were chosen at random to fill out the survey's questions. The majority of respondents ate ready-to-eat (RTE) meals twice to four times a week, with the bulk of those meals being eaten at lunchtime (44%). The majority of respondents (46%) said that they bought ready-to-eat meals because it was more convenient. It should be noted that although 11.8 percent of respondents considered fast food outlets to be extremely safe, 34.4 percent considered eating on the street to be highly unsafe. While asked about their biggest concern while grocery shopping, 43% of respondents said they were afraid about viruses like Hepatitis B and E. coli that are carried by humans. Consumers were most worried about the cleanliness of the shop (66.7%) when they purchased ready-to-eat meals. The results of this survey demonstrated that college students and staff were concerned about the safety of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. Food marketers and public health organisations might both learn from this research, which could help them improve their methods of public education and information distribution.
