Identifying Gaps in Consumer Knowledge Helps Uncover Attitudes and Behaviors 

This year’s Food & Health Survey marks the 19th consecutive year that the International Food Information Council (IFIC) has surveyed American consumers to understand the perceptions, beliefs and behaviors surrounding food and food-purchasing decisions.
