The 2011 Food & Health Survey: Consumer Attitudes toward Food Safety, Nutrition, and Health, conducted by the International Food Information Council Foundation, is the sixth annual, nationally representative, quantitative study designed to gain insights from consumers on various food safety, nutrition, and health-related topics.
In 2011, questions were added to better understand food technology, fortified foods and foods with added benefits, meal occasions and restaurants, and additional insights into motivators and barriers associated with calories and energy balance, weight management, and physical activity level.
Findings from this Survey can help guide and shape future education and communication initiatives, as well as trend data, to measure the progress made toward achieving dietary guidance.
