Sources used and trusted by nationally-representative adults in the European Union for information on healthy eating

Article Abstract:

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine which sources of information on healthy eating were used and trusted by Europeans. The five sources of information most frequently selected were TV/Radio (29%), magazines and newspapers (27%), health professionals (26%), food packages (22%) and relative and friends (22%). The reliance on health professionals is greater with females and older consumers. Fifteen percent of Europeans stated that they did not get any information on healthy eating.

Influences on food choice perceived to be important by nationally-representative samples of adults in the European Union

Article Abstract:

A pan-EU survey was conducted to determine the factors influencing consumer food choice. Among the categories considered were age, sex, education and employment. Demographic factors such as quality and freshness, price, taste, trying to eat healthy, and family preferences, seemed to have greater influence than culture. The data can help the nutrition educator choose the most appropriate strategies for campaigns and programmes aimed at promoting healthy eating.
