Summary
Food and You 2 is a biannual, Food Standards Agency (FSA)-commissioned survey tracking the food-related attitudes, behaviours, and concerns of adults across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Wave 7 (2024) represents the seventh iteration of this longitudinal tracking series, providing nationally representative data on topics including food safety in the home, food security, trust in the food system, and dietary behaviour. The report serves as a key evidence base for FSA policy development and public health communication.
UK applicability

Key measures
Consumer attitudes (% agreement/disagreement); food safety behaviours (self-reported frequency); trust in food information sources (Likert scale); dietary patterns by demographic group
Outcomes reported
The survey measured UK adults' attitudes, confidence, and behaviours relating to food safety, food purchasing, dietary choices, and trust in food information sources. It likely reported on consumer concerns, food labelling engagement, and eating habits across demographic groups.
