What do consumers know about food? Results from EUFIC’s food literacy survey in 7 European countries

In 2023-2024, EUFIC, along with our collaborators Nutrition Institute (NUTRIS) and Sabri Ülker Foundation, conducted a large-scale consumer survey in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Turkey and the UK to examine consumers’ knowledge about food, nutrition, and their food-related science literacy. This allowed us to discover which food myths are the most popular, where consumers have knowledge and literacy gaps, and to examine cultural differences. The results aim to inform those who work in the areas of food and science literacy to understand consumers’ mindsets better and prioritise their communication topics.
This 1-hour webinar is of interest to NGOs and civil society groups, policymakers, health professionals, and researchers working in the fields of food, nutrition, and science literacy.
The Q&A starts at 36:40.
