In this paper, we explore the socio-cultural representations of trust and distrust in relation to food risks among pregnant and breastfeeding women. We have conducted a study based on an analysis of cultural domains in order to understand how mothers incorporate different social meanings and explore the most important categories they use when talking about trust/distrust in relation to food. We use the technique of free listings to analyse the main shared items or elements regarding trust and distrust in food among these mothers. Through an analysis of cultural domains that refers to concepts and themes related to trust and distrust of foods that are important to these women, and through the study of shared knowledge about these domains, we examine their socio-cultural representations related to health and diet of the 65 free listings on trust and the 64 on distrust collected from mothers. The pregnant and breastfeeding women who participated in the free listings cite foods they trust or distrust based on the specific properties they perceive them to have or other characteristics related to their origin, their handling, processing and distribution. Additionally, trust/distrust often depends on the qualities they attribute to the product. This paper shows aspects of the socio-cultural representations of food risks in periods in the life cycle of women -pregnancy and breastfeeding-characterized by a risk discourse where the precautionary principle is frequently used to manage uncertainty. These results might help the development of public health campaigns as well as adapting the messages of the health authorities to the general population.
本文探讨了孕妇和哺乳期妇女对食品风险的信任和不信任的社会文化表现。我们进行了一项基于文化领域分析的研究，以了解母亲如何融入不同的社会意义，并探讨她们在谈论与食品相关的信任/不信任时使用的最重要类别。我们使用自由列举技术来分析这些母亲对食品信任/不信任的主要共同项目或要素。通过分析与这些女性重要的食品信任和不信任相关的概念和主题的文化领域，并通过研究这些领域的共同知识，我们研究了与 65 项信任和 64 项不信任的自由列举相关的与健康和饮食有关的社会文化表现。参与自由列举的孕妇和哺乳期妇女根据他们认为食物具有的特定特性或与食物来源、处理、加工和分布相关的其他特征，引用他们信任或不信任的食物。此外，信任/不信任往往取决于他们赋予产品的品质。本文展示了在女性生命周期的特定时期（怀孕和哺乳期）中，食品风险的社会文化表现的各个方面，这一时期的风险话语频繁使用预防原则来管理不确定性。这些结果可能有助于制定公共卫生运动，并使卫生当局的信息适应普通民众。
