Methodology – Using non-probability sampling and purposive sampling methods, sampling technique with mixed questionnaires (online and offline). Using a sample of 422 respondents spread across several regions and cities in Riau Province, using 44 indicators as a reference for product information answered by respondents.
Findings – Individual consumption decisions analyzed with the logit probability of reading, caring and knowing information about instant noodles were 0.7599 or 76 percent.
Originality/Novelty – This study shows that the information held by individuals in instant noodle consumption can be identified and its size and quantity.
