As a follow-up to similar studies in 2004 and 2005, 5,001 online interviews were conducted with adults aged 18 and over from across the U.S. from February 27 through March 13, 2006.


The insight we gained on consumers' nutritional habits, preferences and attitudes through this research has helped us better understand the needs and nutritional concerns of the customers we serve every day. Now you can use it to learn more about your own eating habits as well.
