This study aimed to examine the effect of customers’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control on their intention to switch to healthy food products. This research also tested brand awareness as a moderator of customers’ behavioral choices to switch to healthy food products by switching behavior. The study was conducted by distributing a questionnaire. It involved 318 participants and employed partial least square regression as the data analysis method. This study shows the significant influence of customers’ attitudes on their switching intentions toward healthy food products, and perceived behavior control significantly influences customers’ switching intentions toward healthy food products. Customers’ perceived behavior control, as well as their intentions to switch toward healthy food products, significantly influences their switching behavior. Brand awareness has a moderate influence on customers’ intentions to switching behavior on healthy food products. This study contributes to developing the model of customer behavior in switching from fast food products to healthy food products. This study reveals that subjective norms do not significantly influence the switching behavior of customers. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
