While previous studies have addressed these factors separately, studies integrating all of them within a single framework are limited. Considering hygiene concerns and economic considerations, this study aims to understand consumer decision mechanisms in food retailing better. The study was conducted with 435 adult participants in T\u00fcrkiye using convenience sampling. Although the sample is not nationally representative, it is sufficient for hypothesis testing and multivariate analyses. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed, followed by regression-based mediation and moderation analyses. The results indicate a higher purchase intention for packaged products. Perceived contamination mediates the effect of packaging, particularly for unpackaged products, and limits the negative effect of high price perception. This study provides an integrated framework linking packaging, perceived contamination, and price evaluation to purchase intention.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"TOP\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"
