Food neophobia is the fear of eating new or unfamiliar foods. It differs from selective eating disorder.

“新食物恐惧症”是指害怕吃新的或不熟悉的食物。这与选择性饮食失调有所不同。

Food neophobia is particularly common in toddlers and young children. It is often related to an individual's level of sensation-seeking, meaning a person's willingness to try new things and take risks.

“新食物恐惧症”在婴幼儿身上尤为常见。这通常与一个人“寻求感官刺激”的程度有关。寻求感官刺激是指某人尝试新食物和冒险的意愿。

对研究人员而言，“新食物恐惧症”仍是个新的领域。他们不清楚有多少人患有此症。“新食物恐惧症”甚至未被医学领域正式归为一种疾病，但这种症状开始变得比人们想象中的要更为严重。
