Importance attached to purchase criteria, beliefs about the characteristics of eco-labeled alternatives of some food products, and prescriptive norm strength to purchase such products were examined as potential predictors of purchasing eco-labeled products. It is argued that the purchase of ordinary food products is a behavior often guided by habits. This implies that to purchase eco-labeled alternatives often require a change of habit. Data were obtained from a questionnaire mailed to 480 individuals. Attaching importance to the purchase criteria environmental consequences and human health, expressing positive beliefs about eco-labeled products, and experiencing a strong prescriptive norm were positively correlated with a high relative frequency of choicing eco-labeled alternatives. Environmental values in particular may create a predisposition to change purchase habits. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
