Latest consumer attitudes revealed
The Food Standards Agency has released the latest results of its tracker survey. The survey monitors public opinion and awareness of the Food Standards Agency and key food issues.
A representative sample of 2,105 adults in the UK was interviewed in the latest wave of the tracker (November 2010), by placing questions on the TNS consumer omnibus survey.
The main food issues that survey respondents were concerned with were food prices (54%), the amount of salt in food (45%) and food waste (42%). The main food safety issues that people were concerned with were food hygiene when eating out (36%), food poisoning (29%) and the use of additives in food (27%).
Eighty per cent of respondents were aware of the hygiene standards in the places they ate out in or buy food from. The main way people judged the hygiene standards were from the general appearance of the premises (65%), appearance of staff (51%) and its reputation (42%).
