Supplementary file 1_Willingness to purchase, try, and consume cell-cultured meat and insect alternatives in the context of different diets: a German case study is a 25.2 KB dataset by Henning Schulte, last updated on 2026-04-20. It contains survey data examining the acceptance of cultured meat and insect-based products among young adults in Germany, segmented by omnivorous, flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan diets.

Use Cases

• Modeling consumer willingness to try based on dietary group segmentation mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between perceived naturalness, safety, and purchase intent as assessed in the survey

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for flexible reuse and redistribution
• The dataset provides a direct comparison of two emerging alternative protein types: cell-cultured meat and insect-based products
• Survey design explicitly accounts for differences across four distinct dietary groups

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
