Natural Selection: 2006 E. coli Recall of Fresh Spinach: A Case Study by The Food Industry Center
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seltzer,   Jonathan M.; Rush,   Jeff; Kinsey,   Jean D.
This case summarizes the 2006 fresh spinach recall and questions prompted by one of the largest outbreaks of foodborne illness in the United States in recent years — an estimated 4,000 cases. While every food recall is important and unique, the contamination of fresh spinach with the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 during the summer and fall of 2006 and the breadth of the recall and the severity of the consequences from E. coli O157:H7 lend themselves to this exemplary case study. This study also helps illustrate the complexity of the food supply chain and the food recall process. A similar incident, involving fresh tomatoes and peppers rather than spinach, and Salmonella rather than E. coli, occurred in the spring and summer of 2008. It is...

THE 2003 SUPERMARKET PANEL ANNUAL REPORT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Jacobson,   Elaine M.; Behl,   Ajay S.; Seltzer,   Jonathan M.
Executive Summary    The Food Industry Center established the Supermarket Panel in 1998 as the basis for an ongoing study of the supermarket industry. Since 2000 the core of the Panel has been a random sample of stores drawn from the approximately 32,000 supermarkets in the U.S. that accept food stamps.    The purpose of collecting data on supermarket operations and performance is to:  Provide timely, useful information for the industry through benchmark reports and annual summaries, trends on key indices of technology adoption, competitive positions and performance.  Be a ready source of data for research on current and emerging issues - to be able to track the changes in operation and its impacts on performance over time.    This report presents findings...

THE SUPERMARKET INDUSTRY AT THE START OF THE 21st CENTURY: KEY FINDINGS FROM THE 2000 SUPERMARKET PANEL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wolfson,   Paul J.; Kinsey,   Jean D.; King,   Robert P.; Seltzer,   Jonathan M.
The 2000 Supermarket Panel gathered data on store characteristics, management practices, and operating performance from a representative, nation-wide sample of supermarkets.  The Panel is unique because the unit of analysis is the individual store, and the same stores will be surveyed over time.  Linking information on management practices and store and market characteristics with measures for key performance measures provides useful information for both strategic and tactical decisions.  Descriptive findings are presented for stores groups by ownership group size and format.  Results from a multivariate analysis of relationships between store performance and key performance drivers also are presented.

FROM PAPER TO PLASTIC BY 2002: RETAILERS' PERSPECTIVE ON ELECTRONIC BENEFIT TRANSFER SYSTEMS FOR FOOD STAMPS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Quinones,   Ana R.; Kinsey,   Jean D.
The Food Stamp Program (FSP) is working under the deadline of October 1, 2002, to  coordinate a change from the current paper disbursement system of paper food stamps to an electronic transfer system of benefits, known as EBT.  The Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been studying the effectiveness of differing vehicles for benefit dispersal since the inception of the FSP in the 1960's.  The merits of a direct cash payment have been compared to those of the paper system by the USDA and an array of professional groups and research organizations.  The adoption of the electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system engenders a new set of questions about the effects of EBT on benefit recipients, retailers and the administering...

THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF PORK: U.S. AND CHINA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pan,   Chenjun; Kinsey,   Jean D.
Consumers in the United States consume 53 pounds of pork per capita per year. Forty percent of that pork enters the market by way of a contract with a packer or an integrated supply chain arrangement.  Chinese consumers consume 37 pounds per capita. Eighty percent of that pork is produced in the backyards of millions of households all over the countryside. The supply chain that brings pork from hog to human is clearly different in these two countries, but both are moving in the same direction.    In the United States, pork breeding produced leaner but heavier hogs by the late 1990's. This was largely in response to consumer demand for leaner meat and processors demand for less waste. Stricter sanitation regulation and quality control by food manufacturers...

Analysis of Media Agenda-Setting Effects on Consumer Confidence in the Safety of the U.S. Food System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bharad,   Abhishek Bhagwat; Harrison,   R. Wes; Kinsey,   Jean D.; Degeneffe,   Dennis J.; Ferreira,   Gustavo F.C.
Results from continuous tracking of consumer confidence and media coverage of food safety events over a 67 week period between May 2008 and August 2009 are reported.  An ordered probit model is used to test the hypothesis that media coverage of food safety events affects consumer confidence in the safety of the U.S. food system. The results show that media coverage significantly and negatively affected consumer confidence in the safety of nation’s food supply during the sample period. Socioeconomic and demographic factors such as geographic region, use of media source, household size, age, ethnicity, education, and gender also had significant affects on consumer confidence in the safety of United States food supply.

Castleberry's: 2007 Botulism Recall; A Case Study by The Food Industry Center
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seltzer,   Jonathan M.; Rush,   Jeff; Kinsey,   Jean D.
This case summarizes the available information on the 2007 Castleberry’s recall and food recalls in general, and raises questions prompted by a recall of this magnitude. A massive, nationwide recall of Castleberry’s canned food due to botulism in the summer of 2007 illustrates the complexity of the food industry. Product from a single production line at a single plant, packed under 90 labels (the company’s own store brands and foodservice), spurred a recall of tens of millions of cans of food. While every recall is important and unique, the breadth of the Castleberry’s Food Company recall and the severe consequences from botulism lend themselves to this exemplary case study.

DATA MINING: A SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS OF U.S. GROCERY SHOPPERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Wolfson,   Paul J.; Katsaras,   Nikolaos; Senauer,   Benjamin.
Consumers make choices about where to shop based on their preferences for a shopping environment and experience as well as the selection of products at a particular store. This study illustrates how retail firms and marketing analysts can utilize data mining techniques to better understand customer profiles and behavior. Among the key areas where data mining can produce new knowledge is the segmentation of customer data bases according to demographics, buying patterns, geographics, attitudes, and other variables.  This paper builds profiles of grocery shoppers based on their preferences for 33 retail grocery store characteristics. The data are from a representative, nationwide sample of 900 supermarket shoppers collected in 1999.  Six customer profiles are...

DOES FOOD SAFETY CONFLICT WITH FOOD SECURITY? THE SAFE CONSUMPTION OF FOOD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.
This paper concludes by saying no, food safety and security reinforce each other. It combines food safety and food security into the concept of  "safe food consumption." Unsafe food consumption occurs when food contains known substances that lead to short or long term illness or death (botulism) and suspect substances that are believed to lead to delayed diseases (pesticides). It also occurs when hunger or over eating contribute to long-term illness and shorter life expectancy.     The costs of illnesses related to obesity are six to fourteen times as great as the costs attributed to food born illnesses caused by microbial contamination. The implications for health care costs due to Type 2 Diabetes alone make this a health crisis in slow motion.   Obesity...

THE COST OF INACCURATE AUTOMOBILE MILEAGE INFORMATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sexauer,   Benjamin; Roe,   Terry L.; Kinsey,   Jean D.
The model in this paper integrates the possibility of misinformation into consumer utility theory. If the utility realized from a good differs from the utility anticipated at time of purchase, shifts in demand would occur, and thus changes in consumer surplus. These changes provide a measure of the cost of misinformation or value of improved information. The empirical analysis yields estimates of the private and social cost of inaccuracies in automobile buyers; pre-purchase mileage estimates. If automobile purchases are based on imperfect gasoline mileage information, a discrepancy results between expected and actual fuel-efficiency. The data source is a survey of 1980 model car buyers conducted by the authors.

FOOD MARKETING IN AN ELECTRONIC AGE: IMPLICATIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Senauer,   Benjamin.
The most efficient food delivery system in the world is becoming even more so with new electronic information gathered at the checkout counter and quickly transmitted to food distributors and manufacturers.  In order to meet new competition in the retail  market for food and food services, traditional grocery stores and their suppliers are redesigning how they present, order and distribute products.  This effort is called Efficient Consumer Response (ECR).  It is a system whereby consumer preferences, expressed through their purchases, are revealed to food manufacturers and then back to producers.  Commodities with special characteristics for preferred types of food are pulled out of the food and agricultural system as opposed to being pushed out in bulk...

CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP IN FOOD RETAILING: A REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE ABOUT CONSUMER IMPACT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.
Increased concentration in ownership of retail and wholesale food companies in the United States naturally leads to the question "How  does concentration of ownership affect consumers?" Does it lead to higher or lower food prices, better or worse service, more or less  choice between stores and among products, and more or less employment and earning opportunities in the food sector?  Since the early 1980's  the percent of total sales captured by the top four supermarket chains have gone from 18 to 22 percent; food prices decreased, food expenditures relative to income and employment and earnings have all fallen modestly. Choice and service are harder to measure. Competition at the local level appears to be alive and well since numerous types of food...

Autores: Wendt,   Minh; Kinsey,   Jean D.
This paper investigates the association between weight and elementary school students’ academic achievement, as measured by standardized Item Respond Theory scale scores in reading and math. Data for this study come from the 1998 cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten-Fifth Grade (ECLS-K), which contains a large national sample of children between the ages of 5 and 12. Estimates of the association between weight and achievement were obtained by utilizing two regression model specifications, a mixed-effects linear model and a student-specific fixed-effects model. A comprehensive set of explanatory variables such as a household’s motivation in helping the student learn (e.g. parents’ expectations for their child’s schooling and levels...

Westland/Hallmark: 2008 Beef Recall;  A Case Study by The Food Industry Center
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seltzer,   Jonathan M.; Rush,   Jeff; Kinsey,   Jean D.
A Humane Society video, made secretly at the Westland/Hallmark plant in late 2007 and released in early 2008, led to the recall of 143 million pounds of beef. This case study illustrates the complexity of the food industry and the food recall process.  Although ultimately, the incident had more to do with animal welfare than food safety — no sicknesses were tied to the recalled beef, it resulted in changes to the nation’s food safety procedures. The 2008 Westland/Hallmark beef recall, the largest beef recall in U.S. history, is a stepping-off point to examine the beef supply chain generally and the ground beef supply chain specifically.

Do Eating Patterns Follow a Cohort or Change Over a Lifetime? Answers Emerging from the Literature
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wendt,   Minh; Kinsey,   Jean D.
With the rapidly increasing American elderly population, food companies, healthcare workers, and policy makers alike are asking whether the dietary habits and food consumption patterns of this growing segment of the U.S. population will follow those of current and past elderly people or whether their cohort will eat like they did when they were younger. The purpose of this report is to review what is known about changes in nutritional intake and food consumption patterns that are associated with cohorts (generational) and with the aging process in the U.S. population. Recent literature on cohort and aging effects related to food consumption indicates that the aging effect is greater than the cohort effect. That is, diets change as people age, due to...

CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS, SAFETY, AND HEALTH CONCERNS;  Proceedings of the 4th Minnesota Padova Conference on Food, Agriculture, and the Environment, September 4-10, 1994, Wayzata, MN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Senauer,   Benjamin; Jonk,   Yvonne.
Consumers’ concerns about food attributes related to health, safety and nutrition were ascertained by way of a mailed survey in the metropolitan area of St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1993.  An ordered probit analysis was conducted to determine how these concerns correlated with eating habits - specifically increasing, decreasing or making no change in the consumption of various types of meats.  Those who had decreased their beef consumption were concerned about their intake of sodium, fat and cholesterol.  They also preferred a variety of foods and tended to be older and better educated.  Taste, appearance and guaranteed safety ranked high on a list of food attributes consumers preferred.

THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY: TRENDS AND CHANGING STRUCTURE IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Friddle,   Charlotte G.; Mangaraj,   Sandeep; Kinsey,   Jean D.
By 2010, foodservice establishments are projected to capture 53 percent of consumers' food expenditures, whereas in 1980, foodservice captured less than 40 percent. The foodservice industry accounts for approximately 4 percent of the Gross Domestic Product and about 11 million jobs. It has been rapidly changing due to economic factors, technological advances, and labor matters.1 This overview covers many of the issues and trends affecting the different segments of the foodservice supply chain including the foodservice operators, distributors and food manufacturers.    Changing customer demographics are a driving force in the evolution of the foodservice industry. As the baby boomers reach middle age, they do not seem to have time to cook and their children...

A MODEL OF INFORMATION AND I.T. ADOPTION IN FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mohtadi,   Hamid; Kinsey,   Jean D.
Evidence from the Food Supply chain suggests that food retailers often exhibit a reluctance to share information with their suppliers even when this benefits both parties. For example, inventory coordination and reduced costs may be realized by adopting appropriate supply chain management technologies such as cooperative planning, forecasting, and replenishment. This behavior is explained by viewing information as a strategic asset and modeling information exchange and the corresponding adoption of information technologies and analysis as a strategic game, i.e., an economic model where food retailers and their suppliers operate with uncertainty.  The game is based on stylized facts from the food industry. Some key results from the game model are: (a) under...

Seven trends that emerge in the new global economy will be identified followed by a discussion of how they evolved and what they imply for public policy and for various types of firms and consumers.  Some have called it the "brave new world" of food production and consumption.  Some dislike what they see, others fear it, and many embrace it.  The new food economy involves many non-food firms that provide ancillary services and products.  They go way beyond the familiar farm input suppliers to consulting firms for software and data analysis, to electronic system designers, to engineers of food and packaging, to biological and physical scientists who redesign the food itself. Together, they make the food system work for consumers and for those firms that are...

The popular impression that over half of our food does not come from a retail food (grocery) store is based on food expenditure data and is misleading. This research set out to learn where people obtain the food they report eating and to determine whether there are significant differences between people who buy most of their food from retail food stores and those who do not.  Research on food consumption often focuses on household expenditures at retail food stores and various types of restaurants, but tracking the volume of various types of foods purchased from various retail places is not well established.

This paper presents research questions and policy issues related to three emerging issues pertinent to developments in the global food and agricultural supply network. Developments in the production and delivery of food to consumers are rapid, prolific, and extreme. We have gone from a farmer-centric to a consumer-centric food system. The changes are forcing us to revise our thinking about the organization and operation of the food supply chain one-hundred and eighty degrees, to challenge old assumptions about who sets standards and who decides what will be produced. Public policies, which typically lag the world of commerce, will need to learn their relevance and catch-up with dramatic changes in the way business is being conducted. Three examples come to...

The likelihood and amount of money transferred back and forth between parents and their adult children in the United States in 1988 are examined in this study.  Using the 1989 Survey of Consumer Finances, conducted for the Federal Reserve Bank, this study finds that 13 percent of families made one or the other of these transfers and that the average amount transferred by parents ($4,754) is about twice the amount transferred by adult children ($2,468).  The elasticity of transferes with respect to income is .89 for donor parents and .60 for donor children.  A higher percent of middle age parents made transfers to adult children than parents who were younger or older, but the amount of money transferred rose as parents aged.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Ndayisenga,   Fidele.
This study generates an econometric model of the allocation of political contributions by food firms.  It combines information about food firms' total expenditures for political influence with the behavioral assumption of profit maximization to test the hypothesis that food manufacturing firms do not lobby against farm policies.  The results support the hypothesis.  The inferences are conditional on the effects observed in the sample.  The conclusions from this analysis may not be widely generalizable, but they do inform hypotheses about the intentions of food firms that participate in the political market.

In the light of lessons learned from recent disasters (The London Subway Bombings, and Hurricane Katrina), it has become clear that government and private organizations need to be prepared to communicate effectively with consumers before, during and after a disaster in order to minimize harm to consumers and to the nation.  Findings from a national survey of attitudes of U.S. Residents about terrorism provides information for the development of such communications.  Using "Predictive Segmentation" this study demonstrates that consumers can be grouped based on their general attitudes and values in such a way that their diversity can be captured in a simple framework of six segments reflecting striking differences with respect to their level of concern over...

If farm programs significantly benefit downstream food firms, there is effectively no countervailing power to the farm lobby because (1) farm input supply and marketing firms have been shown to benefit from existing farm policies - and have therefore no incentive to lobby against the policies - and (2) consumers and taxpayers, two important stakeholders in agricultural policies, are known to be quite inefficient in lobbying due to their "large-group" characteristics. Information on food...

Autores: Hill,   Jessica I.; Bharad,   Abhishek Bhagwat; Harrison,   R. Wes; Kinsey,   Jean D.; Degeneffe,   Dennis J.
Every year hundreds of food recalls are made due to contamination. The main focus of this paper is to examine the effects of specific food events on consumers’ confidence in food safety as well as their preparedness regarding the United States food system. The food events studied in this are major food-borne illnesses outbreaks and recalls that have occurred since May 2008. The three events chosen included: the salmonella outbreak in jalapeno and Serrano peppers occurring in 2008, the salmonella outbreak in peanut butter occurring in 2009, and the E.coli outbreak in Nestle cookie dough occurring in 2009. An ordered probit model was used to measure the effects that these specific foodborne illnesses had on consumers’ confidence. The results revealed that...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Garcia-Fuentes,   Pablo A.; Ferreira,   Gustavo F.C.; Harrison,   R. Wes; Kinsey,   Jean D.; Degeneffe,   Dennis J.
A series of recent and serious food safety incidents have generated a national debate over the significant costs that they impose on various stakeholders - consumers, industry, or the government. This paper examines the impact of media coverage of food safety and defense issues on consumer confidence in food safety, and measures the response of stock prices of food companies to changes in consumer confidence. Results show that, increases in media coverage have a negative impact on consumer confidence, and that decreases in the levels of consumer confidence on food safety have a negative impact on stock prices of food companies, in particular for the larger firms. These findings confirm that the financial performance of food the industry is negatively...

Media Impact of Nutrition Information on Food Choice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shiratori,   Sakiko; Kinsey,   Jean D.
This study estimated the impact of nutrition information provided by popular media on consumers’ purchases in U.S. grocery stores, taking omega-3 fortified eggs as an example. The media index was constructed from multiple information sources by utilizing computer-coded content analysis. Their probability of purchasing omega-3 eggs between 1998 and 2007 based on household-level scanner data was analyzed by logistic regression models to incorporate elements of information effects. The results showed the significant positive impact of nutritional information from the popular media on consumers’ food choices, thus publishing in popular media can be an effective communication approach to promote consumers’ health.

How Should America's Anti-Terrorism Budget Be Allocated? Findings from a National Survey of Attitudes of U.S. Residents about Terrorism
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stinson,   Thomas F.; Kinsey,   Jean D.; Degeneffe,   Dennis J.; Ghosh,   Koel.
U.S. residents are very concerned about future terrorist attacks and they are willing to commit substantial sums to prevent further terrorist acts. Protecting against another 9/11 style incident is important, but U.S. residents are more concerned about protecting the food supply system and preventing release of chemical or biological agents in public areas. On average respondents would allocate 13.3 percent more to protect the food supply chain and 12.0 percent more to protect against release of a toxic chemical or biological agent than they would to protect against another terrorist attack using hijacked aircraft. Approximately $5 billion is currently spent to protect civil aviation. The 2006 budget provided $8.6 billion of fiscal authority for programs...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Senauer,   Benjamin; King,   Robert P.; Phumpiu,   Paul F.
This paper contains two chapters related to changes in retail food delivery  and sales.  The first discusses trends in consumer demographics and lifestyles and how these continue to drive changes in the way food is prepared and delivered to consumers.  Retail stores are responding with new formats: providing more ready to eat foods; more convenient store layouts; lower prices and better service in niche markets across the country.  Their demands send signals up the food chain to processors and producers that alter their production and inventory decisions.  Electronic information technology speeds these changes and leads to more efficient operation with, allegedly, better service for consumers.  The second chapter discusses how advances in information...

Is Dietary Knowledge Enough?  Hunger, Stress, and Other Roadblocks to Healthy Eating
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mancino,   Lisa; Kinsey,   Jean D.
Poor diets and rising obesity rates among Americans have persisted despite increased awareness and publicity regarding the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This analysis of consumer food choice developed a consumer demand model to illustrate how both long-term health objectives and immediate visceral influences—long intervals between meals and away-from-home eating—can affect individuals’ food choices. The model predicts that dietary knowledge will have less influence on food choices in the face of immediate visceral factors. The model predictions were tested using data from the 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals and the companion Diet Health and Knowledge Survey. Longer intervals between meals and consumption of more food away from...

IMPERFECT INFORMATION, CONSUMER THEORY, AND ALLOCATIVE ERROR IN CONSUMPTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Roe,   Terry L.; Sexauer,   Benjamin.
Traditional economic theory of the consumer assumes the existence of perfect information. However, in reality this assumption is rarely fulfilled. In this paper a model is presented which relaxes this assumption and explicitly introduces the possibility of imperfect information into the theory of consumer behavior. Specifically, the focus is on consumer decision making when the utility realized form a bundle of goods and services can be different from the utility anticipated during the budget allocation process.

Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Buhr,   Brian L.
The use of electronic commerce for quality control and cost cutting efficiencies by the food and agricultural industries in the United States is the focus of this paper. The food industry engages in e-commerce through 1.) Internet shopping for consumers called business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce 2.) Business-to-business (B2B) Internet market discovery exchanges used by food suppliers at any point in the supply chain, and 3.) Business-to-business (B2B) relationships that reduce costs and increase efficiencies in the procurement, storage and delivery of food to retail stores or distribution centers. This third use of e-commerce is the most highly developed and widely adopted. It allows retailers to share information about consumers' purchases and...

DIET QUALITY AND CALORIES CONSUMED: THE IMPACT OF BEING HUNGRIER, BUSIER AND EATING OUT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kinsey,   Jean D.; Mancino,   Lisa.
While Americans claim to be eating better and improving their understanding of diet and health, they are getting heavier and increasing their risk of suffering from diet related illnesses. The cause of this inconsistency is unclear. Using theoretical models of preference reversal and econometric empirical analysis, this study finds that the number of calories eaten per meal increases and the quality of the diet decreases as people wait more than six hours to eat their next meal, work more than fifty hours a week, and consume a larger amount of food away from home. These situational factors are important even for consumers who have considerable knowledge about diet and health.   Regardless of one's favored dietary prescription, this study shows how well an...

THE COST OF INACCURATE CONSUMER INFORMATION: THE CASE OF THE EPA MILEAGE FIGURES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roe,   Terry L.; Sexauer,   Benjamin; Kinsey,   Jean D.
In this study a utility maximizing model is developed which accommodates changing states of information. Rational consumer choices in one state of information can lead to realizing different levels of utility than anticipated. Differences between these levels of utility suggest a measure for the value of information. This framework is applied to estimating the potential cost of possible inaccuracies in the EPA fuel-economy ratings. Survey data collected from new car buyers then are used to infer the magnitude of the actual costs that may be caused by the present EPA information.
