Eurobarometer on Food & Safety 2022 - Dataset

This Special Eurobarometer, commissioned by EFSA, examines Europeans’ perceptions of and attitudes towards food safety and provides insights in terms of:

• Europeans’ interest in food safety-related topics and factors affecting food-related decisions;

• Awareness of and main concerns about food-safety topics, as well as attitudes towards healthy diet and food-related risks;

• Main information channels on food-related risks;

• Levels of trust in different actors from farm to fork;

• Awareness of different aspects of the EU food safety system;

• Behaviour in the area of food safety, using an example of a foodborne disease outbreak.

The survey was carried out by the Kantar network in the 27 EU Member States between 21st March and 20th April 2022. A total of 26,509 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue. In countries where using only face-to-face interviewing was not feasible due to the impact of COVID-19, online interviews were also used to supplement face-to-face ones.

The methodology used is that of the Standard Eurobarometer surveys carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication. It is the same for all countries and territories covered in the survey.
