Consumption is the final stage of the food supply chain, where food is purchased and consumed by individuals.

Food marketing aims to achieve multiple goals, including increasing brand awareness, generating sales, and building customer loyalty.

Convenience is not a direct factor that influences consumer food choices. It is more of a secondary factor that can be influenced by other factors such as price, taste, and health concerns.

Loss leader pricing is a strategy used by retailers to sell certain products at a price below their cost of production in order to attract customers and increase sales of other products.

Fermentation is a process used to preserve food by converting carbohydrates into alcohol or organic acids. It is not a major type of food processing in the same way that canning, freezing, and dehydration are.

Food additives, food coloring, and flavor enhancers are all substances that can be added to food products to make them more appealing to consumers.

Direct-to-consumer is not a major type of food distribution channel in the same way that wholesale, retail, and food service are.

Direct marketing, farm-to-table, and community-supported agriculture are all practices that involve selling food products directly to consumers without going through traditional distribution channels.

Consumer preferences are not a direct factor that affects the price of food. They can influence demand, which can in turn affect price, but they are not a direct cause of price changes.

Barter, food stamps, and commodity exchange are all practices that involve using food as a form of payment.

Nutritional hazards are not a major type of food safety hazard in the same way that biological hazards, chemical hazards, and physical hazards are.

Food inspection, food safety audit, and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) are all practices that involve inspecting food products to ensure that they meet safety and quality standards.

Paper is not a major type of food packaging in the same way that plastic, glass, and metal are.

Food art, culinary art, and gastronomy are all practices that involve using food as a form of art.

Food spoilage is not a major type of food waste in the same way that pre-consumer waste, post-consumer waste, and food loss are.
