Reformulated Product Reactions: Protein and Fiber Claims Study
Measures how shoppers react when a familiar food product is reformulated with added protein or fiber claims — covering purchase intent, trust in the new claims, taste expectations, and price sensitivity. Built for brand and innovation teams testing packaging or recipe changes, with an AI follow-up that digs into the real tension between health claims and taste concerns behind the numbers.

Explore the real tension between health claims and taste in the respondent's reaction to this reformulation: ask what specifically made them more or less interested after seeing the protein and fiber claims, and whether they actually believe the taste will hold up. If they rated purchase intent low, probe whether it's about taste doubts, price, distrust of the claims, or loyalty to the original recipe. If they rated it high, check whether that's genuine interest or just curiosity to try it once.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that specifically probes the tension between health claims (protein/fiber) and taste concerns, going beyond static rating scales
- Combines quantitative measures (opinion scale, rating, matrix, max-diff, constant sum, Van Westendorp pricing) with qualitative depth in one flow, so brand teams get both the 'what' and the 'why'
- Uses a text-highlight task so respondents mark up the actual reformulated packaging copy, giving direct feedback on claim wording rather than abstract questions
- Captures purchase intent, switch likelihood, and price sensitivity together with diet/demographic context, tailored specifically to reformulation and claims testing rather than generic messaging tests
SurveyMonkey
Messaging/claims Testing Survey TemplateThis is a fielding-ready static survey template aimed at testing messaging and claims, making it a reasonable comparison point for a protein/fiber claims study. It relies on standard closed-ended question types without any adaptive follow-up. It's a generic messaging-claims template rather than one built around a specific reformulation/taste-vs-health-claims tension.
What it does well
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's established survey distribution and panel infrastructure
- Purpose-built for messaging/claims testing use cases, so questions are likely relevant out of the box
- Simple, familiar interface for respondents completing a standard survey
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up questioning — respondents answer fixed questions with no probing into the taste-vs-health-claim tension
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks for deeper qualitative exploration
- No transparent, publishable prompt methodology or automated per-response quality scoring
