Table 4. The number and the ratio of participants that bought each type of eggs and mentioned each of the emerging themes (natural housing and feeding, egg quality and effect on consumers’ health and nutrition, and hygiene).

Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for binomial models of the type of egg participants usually buy and association with emerging themes are presented.
