Consumers' acceptance was measured with affective tests on all the products, prepared as porridge, on five sensory traits: appearance, aroma, texture, taste and overall- score, using a five-point Likert scale (1 = dislike very much, 2 = dislike, 3 = neither dislike nor like, 4 = like, 5 = like very much. Willingness to pay (WTP) for the products was elicited through experimental auctions, in particular the BDM mechanism. Participants were randomly divided into two information treatments: in the first group the WTP was first elicited without information on the product’s content, followed by the same WTP experiment after providing information; in the second group information was given directly followed by the WTP experiment.
