Considering the increase in this pathology among children and teenagers, new instruments of prevention are needed. Virtual reality is an innovative tool that offers several advantages over classical therapies, becoming important in various medical fields, starting from phobia treatment, pain relief, and body image perception to education. This technology has been successfully used to study the influence of virtual cues on behavioral responses and can be useful in nutritional education as well as understanding eating behavior. The objective of this scoping review study is to understand the impact of virtual supermarket exposure on individuals\u2019 food choices and to explore the potential of technology on nutrition education in the general population. It seeks to explore purchasing based on product appearance and placement, food prices, nudging conditions and under-pressure decision making. A manual literature search was conducted using the databases Web of Science, SCOPUS and Google Scholar. Included articles were published between 2012 and 2024 using immersive virtual and augmented supermarket environments as a tool to understand food choices and education. The results showed that using higher immersion can be efficient in understanding food choices, rather than a lower immersive tool. The advantage of immersive virtual reality is highlighted by the sense of presence it offers, compared to other devices, providing a safe, controlled environment for users.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17060999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T07:31:42Z","timestamp":1741764702000},"page":"999","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Using VR Supermarket for Nutritional Research and Education: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Cristiana Amalia","family":"Onita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Obesity BioBehavioral Experimental Research, Department of Morpho-Functional Sciences II (Pathophysiology), \u201cGrigore T.
