    Consumer Complaints and Accidents Related to Food Packaging
    (Wiley, 2010) Caner, Cengiz; Pascall, Melvin A.
    This study investigated consumer complaints related to food packaging design and the occurrence of injuries associated with the opening of various types of containers Each study participant (245) took a 15 min Fact-to-face interview and was asked attitudinal questions about 10 different categories of packaging including cans, glass and plastic bottles and jars, and paper-based composite packages. The. subjects were also asked whether they had been injured while opening these packaging types. The survey showed that cans which needed a tool for opening were most difficult to enter. In some cases the tool was the source of injury The respondents were also most concerned about deformation, spillage and product wastage associated with these types of containers. This included brick-type composite packages without a peelable seal over the pour spout. A large percentage of the respondents felt that more information was needed on the various methods of opening packages in general. Glass bottles and jars were most likely to be used for storage of products after they were emptied of their original contents. The results of this study could be used by manufacturers to assist them in the design and development of packaging with a lower potential to cause accidents and injuries.

    Consumer Survey on the Environmental Impact of Food Packaging and How It Influences Purchasing Decisions
    (Wiley, 2025) Caner, Cengiz; Pascall, Melvin A.; Aday, Mehmet Seckin; Bicki, Dogan
    This study investigated the environmental consciousness of 270 consumers, their behavior towards the purchase of packaged food, their willingness to pay more for products in environmentally friendly containers, and their attitude and knowledge towards recycling and pollution. The data collected were statistically analyzed using Chi-square, t-tests, and multinominal and logistic regression analyses. Results showed that consumers preferred glass when compared to other packaging material types. Females were more willing to pay more for products in environmentally friendly packaging. As the respondents' education level increased, the respondents were more knowledgeable about recycling symbols and believed that recycling helped reduce environmental pollution. The income level of the respondents was not conclusive on its effect on the attitude on environmental packaging. Younger respondents were more conscious of recycling symbols and preferred plastic more than the other age groups. Environmental consciousness thus effected the buying decision of the respondents.
