Abstract
This research paper analyses the essence of
Packed and Unpacked Edibles in urban areas. We took a survey in supermarkets in
Hyderabad, to find out what people prefer more among Packed and Unpacked foods.
Packed foods are food products that are processed, prepared & packaged for
convenient consumption. Whereas, unpacked foods are food items that are sold
without any packaging. In our survey we found out that, out of 175 subjects’
majority of subjects preferred packed foods. We also found that many people
have knowledge and are aware that unpacked foods are better than packed foods
because, unpacked foods are preference among urban population is associated
with freshness, higher quality and considered healthier choices as they are
less likely to contain added preservatives and Artificial flavours. But due to
reasons like convenience, longer shelf life, nutritional information, food
safety and quality assurance of packed food, people chose packed foods over
unpacked foods.
