Issues addressed: This research explored primary caregivers' awareness of food neophobia and how food preferences develop in young children aged between 1 and 2.5 years. Methods: This qualitative study used case study methodology and comprised interviews with 24 primary caregivers of young children aged between 1 and 2.5 years.
