Food Standards Agency Survey Explores How Consumers Perceive Food-Related Risks
The Food Standards Agency recently released the results of a survey of 1,194 participants, originally surveyed during March 2017. The intent of the survey was to measure consumer risk perception as to 17 different food risks, including norovirus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and other pathogens.
The survey found that there is a low awareness of Campylobacter, even though its one of the main causes of food poisoning in the U.K; there are approximately 280,000 cases of it per year.
