Concerning the improper storage, some errors are less serious
than others. The fact that the cheeses were not stored according
to the maturing time is not a concern because it is not a health
matter. On the contrary, the fact that vegetables and ready-toeat
salads were considered as the same type of product by consumers
is an issue because of the pathogens that can be found
in ready-to-eat salads. Moreover, meat and ready-to-eat foods
seemed to be placed in the refrigerator without consideration of
the temperature gradient. This is also a health concern. This result
is not coherent with that of Terpstra et al. (2005), who found that
Dutch consumers handle meat and dairy products relatively
hygienically
