Abstract
Men, older adults, and those following a healthy diet, are less likely to choose foods with functional ingredients, such as probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids. People who feel positively about functional foods and who want to increase their performance and wellbeing are more likely to choose these ingredients in foods.
