Biannual public attitudes tracker survey

Tuesday 24 January 2012

The Agency conducts a tracking survey among consumers, in order to monitor changes in consumer attitudes towards the Agency and food-related issues.

The survey covers five main areas:

The survey has monitored people’s attitudes since 2001. In spring 2010, research was carried out to help redevelop the tracker survey methodology and questions, so the survey now runs on a biannual basis. The report of this research and a follow-up report, which tested the revised questions can be viewed in the ‘see also’ section below.

Three new questions were added this wave to measure awareness of initiatives or schemes concerning the hygiene standards in places where people eat out or shop for food.

The third wave of the redeveloped tracker survey, carried out in November 2011, can be found in the first link below.
