SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Survey on Consumers’ Emotional and
Cognitive Reactions to Food Recalls—
21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(C) (OMB Control
Number 0910–NEW)
I. Background
The proposed ‘‘Survey on Consumers’
Emotional and Cognitive Reactions to
Food Recalls’’ will be conducted under
a cooperative agreement between the
Joint Institute for Food Safety and
Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN) and the
Center for Risk Communication
Research at the University of Maryland.
JIFSAN was established in 1996 and is
a public and private partnership
between FDA and the University of
Maryland. The Center for Risk
Communication Research will design
and administer the study.
The proposed study will assess
consumers’ emotional and cognitive
recollection of certain food recalls and
gauge how these recollections affect
their current perceptions about food
recalls and their inclination to adhere to
future recommended food recall
behaviors. Existing data show that many
consumers do not take appropriate
protective actions during a foodborne
illness outbreak or food recall (Refs. 1
and 2). For example, 41 percent of U.S.
consumers say they have never looked
for any recalled product in their home
(Ref. 2). Conversely, some consumers
overreact to the announcement of a
foodborne illness outbreak or food
recall. In response to the 2006 fresh,
bagged spinach recall which followed a
E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM
14APN1
20991
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 72 / Thursday, April 14, 2011 / Notices
multistate outbreak of Escherichia coli
O157: H7 infections (Ref. 3), 18 percent
of consumers said they stopped buying
other bagged, fresh produce because of
the spinach recall (Ref. 1).
Research shows that emotion plays a
large role in decisionmaking, and that
individuals may not be conscious of its
effects on their behavior (Ref. 4). For
example, when people are angry they
are likely to place blame, take action,
and want justice to be served (Ref. 5).
If a particular food recall engenders
widespread anger and the anger is
coupled with behavior that is less than
desirable from a food safety or
nutritional standpoint, it is possible that
anger will be the lens through which
future food recall situations are viewed,
thus resulting in similar undesirable
behaviors. Findings from this study will
help FDA understand the emotional
response to food recalls. This will help
FDA to design more effective consumer
food recall messages during and after a
recall.
FDA conducts research and
educational and public information
programs relating to food safety under
its broad statutory authority, set forth in
section 903(b)(2) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act)
(21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), to protect the
public health by ensuring that foods are
‘‘safe, wholesome, sanitary, and properly
labeled,’’ and in section 903(d)(2)(C), to
conduct research relating to foods,
drugs, cosmetics, and devices in
carrying out the FD&C Act.
FDA plans to survey U.S. consumers
using a web-based panel of U.S.
households to collect information on
consumers’ cognitive and emotional
reaction to food recalls. The survey will
query consumers on their recollection of
food recalls within the past 5 years;
attitude toward recalled foods;
knowledge about particular food recalls;
behavior during the food recall; and
assessment and appraisals of
susceptibility, severity, satisfaction, and
self-efficacy.
The data will be collected using an
online survey. A pool of 10,000
consumers from a Web-based consumer
panel will be screened for eligibility
based on age (18+ years) and familiarity
with recent food recalls. One thousand
of eligible consumers will be randomly
selected to participate in the survey.
The results of the survey will not be
used to generate population estimates.
The estimated total hour burden of
the collection of information is 354
hours (table 1 of this document). To
help design and refine the
questionnaire, the Center for Risk
Communication Research will conduct
cognitive interviews by screening 25
adult consumers in order to obtain 8
respondents for the cognitive
interviews. Each screening is expected
to take 5 minutes (0.083 hours) and each
cognitive interview is expected to take
1 hour. The total for cognitive interview
activities is 10 hours (2 hours + 8
hours). Subsequently, we will conduct
pretests of the study questionnaire
before it is administered. We expect that
100 invitations, each taking 2 minutes
(0.033 hours), will need to be sent to
adult members of the online consumer
panel to have 40 of them complete a 10
minute (0.167 hours) pretest. The total
for the pretest activities is 10 hours (3
hours + 7 hours). We estimate sending
10,000 survey screeners, each taking 1
minute (0.017 hours), to adult members
of the online consumer panel to have
1,000 of them complete a 10 minute
(0.167 hours) survey. The total for the
survey activities is 337 hours (170 hours
+ 167 hours).
The burden estimate for this study
published in the Federal Register of
June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34745), has
increased from 234 hours to 357 hours.
The increase in burden hours represents
the addition of cognitive interviews to
the study design and correction of a
math error.
In the Federal Register of June 18,
2010 (75 FR 34745), FDA published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. FDA received two letters
containing multiple comments in
response to the notice. One letter
contained comments outside the scope
of the four collection of information
topics on which the notice solicits
comments and, thus, will not be
addressed here.
(Comment) One comment suggested
that the survey should include
consumers whose pets were sickened or
had died because of mycotoxins in pet
food that resulted in the 2004 pet food
recall.
(Response) FDA agrees that
consumers who were affected by the
2004 pet food recall should be included
as survey respondents. These consumers
will be included if they are members of
the online consumer panel from which
the survey sample will be drawn and
they are randomly selected from the
panel. FDA does not believe that the
affected population should be targetsampled because the study focuses on
human food recalls rather than pet food
recalls.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Survey on Consumers' Emotional and Cognitive Reactions to Food
Recalls--21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(C) (OMB Control Number 0910-NEW)
I. Background
The proposed ``Survey on Consumers' Emotional and Cognitive
Reactions to Food Recalls'' will be conducted under a cooperative
agreement between the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition (JIFSAN) and the Center for Risk Communication Research at
the University of Maryland. JIFSAN was established in 1996 and is a
public and private partnership between FDA and the University of
Maryland. The Center for Risk Communication Research will design and
administer the study.
The proposed study will assess consumers' emotional and cognitive
recollection of certain food recalls and gauge how these recollections
affect their current perceptions about food recalls and their
inclination to adhere to future recommended food recall behaviors.
Existing data show that many consumers do not take appropriate
protective actions during a foodborne illness outbreak or food recall
(Refs. 1 and 2). For example, 41 percent of U.S. consumers say they
have never looked for any recalled product in their home (Ref. 2).
Conversely, some consumers overreact to the announcement of a foodborne
illness outbreak or food recall. In response to the 2006 fresh, bagged
spinach recall which followed a
[[Page 20991]]
multistate outbreak of Escherichia coli O157: H7 infections (Ref. 3),
18 percent of consumers said they stopped buying other bagged, fresh
produce because of the spinach recall (Ref. 1).
Research shows that emotion plays a large role in decisionmaking,
and that individuals may not be conscious of its effects on their
behavior (Ref. 4). For example, when people are angry they are likely
to place blame, take action, and want justice to be served (Ref. 5). If
a particular food recall engenders widespread anger and the anger is
coupled with behavior that is less than desirable from a food safety or
nutritional standpoint, it is possible that anger will be the lens
through which future food recall situations are viewed, thus resulting
in similar undesirable behaviors. Findings from this study will help
FDA understand the emotional response to food recalls. This will help
FDA to design more effective consumer food recall messages during and
after a recall.
FDA conducts research and educational and public information
programs relating to food safety under its broad statutory authority,
set forth in section 903(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), to protect the public health
by ensuring that foods are ``safe, wholesome, sanitary, and properly
labeled,'' and in section 903(d)(2)(C), to conduct research relating to
foods, drugs, cosmetics, and devices in carrying out the FD&C Act.
FDA plans to survey U.S. consumers using a web-based panel of U.S.
households to collect information on consumers' cognitive and emotional
reaction to food recalls. The survey will query consumers on their
recollection of food recalls within the past 5 years; attitude toward
recalled foods; knowledge about particular food recalls; behavior
during the food recall; and assessment and appraisals of
susceptibility, severity, satisfaction, and self-efficacy.
The data will be collected using an online survey. A pool of 10,000
consumers from a Web-based consumer panel will be screened for
eligibility based on age (18+ years) and familiarity with recent food
recalls. One thousand of eligible consumers will be randomly selected
to participate in the survey. The results of the survey will not be
used to generate population estimates.
The estimated total hour burden of the collection of information is
354 hours (table 1 of this document). To help design and refine the
questionnaire, the Center for Risk Communication Research will conduct
cognitive interviews by screening 25 adult consumers in order to obtain
8 respondents for the cognitive interviews. Each screening is expected
to take 5 minutes (0.083 hours) and each cognitive interview is
expected to take 1 hour. The total for cognitive interview activities
is 10 hours (2 hours + 8 hours). Subsequently, we will conduct pretests
of the study questionnaire before it is administered. We expect that
100 invitations, each taking 2 minutes (0.033 hours), will need to be
sent to adult members of the online consumer panel to have 40 of them
complete a 10 minute (0.167 hours) pretest. The total for the pretest
activities is 10 hours (3 hours + 7 hours). We estimate sending 10,000
survey screeners, each taking 1 minute (0.017 hours), to adult members
of the online consumer panel to have 1,000 of them complete a 10 minute
(0.167 hours) survey. The total for the survey activities is 337 hours
(170 hours + 167 hours).
The burden estimate for this study published in the Federal
Register of June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34745), has increased from 234 hours
to 357 hours. The increase in burden hours represents the addition of
cognitive interviews to the study design and correction of a math
error.
In the Federal Register of June 18, 2010 (75 FR 34745), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. FDA received two letters containing multiple
comments in response to the notice. One letter contained comments
outside the scope of the four collection of information topics on which
the notice solicits comments and, thus, will not be addressed here.
(Comment) One comment suggested that the survey should include
consumers whose pets were sickened or had died because of mycotoxins in
pet food that resulted in the 2004 pet food recall.
(Response) FDA agrees that consumers who were affected by the 2004
pet food recall should be included as survey respondents. These
consumers will be included if they are members of the online consumer
panel from which the survey sample will be drawn and they are randomly
selected from the panel. FDA does not believe that the affected
population should be target-sampled because the study focuses on human
food recalls rather than pet food recalls.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
