| description | The role of food safety label in fresh vegetables has received little attention in
developing economies and less attention from the perspective of gender. In this
context, a conceptual model was developed to explain the effect of food safety label as
a moderator variable of risk perception and quality perceived for fresh vegetables from
the perspective of gender. A structural equation model was developed in central and
south central Chile, using a convenience sample (n = 1114) of vegetables buyers. The
main finding of the study was that for females, the food safety label moderated the effect
of risk perception on perceived quality; while for males this effect was not significant.
However, given that females are primarily responsible for purchasing food, food safety
labels are a tool for consumers to recognize unsafe vegetables; at the same time, it can
influence the purchase decision of those consumers worried by certain risks associated
with fresh vegetables. |

El rol de la etiqueta de inocuidad alimentaria en hortalizas frescas ha recibido poca atención en economías en desarrollo y menos atención desde la perspectiva del género. En este contexto, se desarrolló un modelo conceptual para explicar el efecto de la etiqueta de inocuidad alimentaria como una variable moderadora de la percepción de riesgo y la calidad percibida para hortalizas frescas desde la perspectiva del género. Se desarrolló un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el centro y sur de Chile central, utilizando una muestra por conveniencia (n = 1114) de compradores de hortalizas. El principal hallazgo del estudio fue que para las mujeres la etiqueta de inocuidad alimentaria moderó el efecto de la percepción de riesgo sobre la calidad percibida; mientras que para los hombres este efecto no fue significativo. Sin embargo, dado que las mujeres son las principales responsables de la compra de alimentos, las etiquetas de inocuidad alimentaria son una herramienta para que estos consumidores reconozcan las hortalizas riesgosas; al mismo tiempo, puede influir en la decisión de compra de aquellos consumidores preocupados por ciertos riesgos asociados con las hortalizas frescas.
