| Shrnutí: | Due to rapid globalization in the world, the understanding of cultural differences, such as
beliefs, values, ways of thinking, and perceptions about new technologies in food processing have
also increased. Since the 1990s, when genetically modified (GM) foods were introduced into the food
supply, they have provoked many debates. In this review, it was identified and discussed how social
and psychological factors influence public attitudes to GM foods and the perceptions of consumers
in using GM foods. According to this review, GM foods are deemed unnatural and artificial, thus
affecting the overall acceptance of their application. Due to the concerns about their effects on the
environment and human health, people expect an assessment of the known or possible dangers, as
well as the preventative management of the risks. Providing adequate information about GM foods
via a compulsory labeling policy may serve as an appropriate way to increase public awareness and
acceptance of GM foods. |
