Area of research interest: Behaviour and perception
Study duration: 2014-01-01
Planned completion: 1 October 2014
Conducted by: TNS BMRB Research and Harris Interactive

We completed an omnibus survey of 2,060 adults to help us identify the most important food-related consumer concerns. After the omnibus survey, we held a number of citizens' forums. These forums:

  • let us explore consumers’ interests in depth
  • enabled consumers to deliberate on complex or challenging issues
  • let us capture strength of feeling in relation to a comprehensive list of consumer concerns 

The list was based on a review of past research including the Food and You survey; our biannual tracker survey and previous citizens’ forums.
