Consumer attitudes towards key food areas have been revealed in the latest quarterly tracker, which has been monitoring important Food Standards Agency issues since 2001.

This latest wave of research was carried out in December 2009 with a total number of 2,099 respondents interviewed via the TNS consumer face-to-face omnibus survey. Subject areas include concerns about specific food issues, food safety, and confidence and trust in the FSA.

The survey results illustrate that awareness of the Food Standards Agency and the Meat Hygiene Service has remained steady since the last survey, at 86% and 30% respectively, and 62% of all respondents are confident in the role played by the Agency in protecting health with regard to food safety.

Concern about food safety issues has seen a considerable increase, from 64% in June to 70% in December. Concern about food poisoning and food hygiene when eating out has also increased (from 46% to 49% and 44% to 47% respectively).

Results also indicate that concern about salt in food has increased significantly from 40% to 48%. People continue to be concerned about the amount of fat (43%), sugar (40%) and saturated fat (38%) in food.

Additional questions were asked in this survey to gauge consumer awareness of hygiene standards when eating out or buying takeaway food. In total, 83% of respondents state that they are aware that restaurants and takeaways had to meet certain hygiene standards. In order of importance, consumers measure these hygiene standards by general appearance of the premises (74%), appearance of staff (59%) and reputation (50%).
