Trace One has announced the results of its “Global Consumer Food Safety and Quality” research. The survey of shoppers across 9 countries found that consumers do not trust the safety and quality of the foods they eat.

An overwhelming majority of respondents (91%) say it’s important to them to know where their food comes from, but 62% say they’re not provided with enough information about what’s in their food and its origins (News Item Trace One, 22 September 2015).
