UK analysis reveals little change in consumer food safety behavior

Domestic food safety practices have hardly changed over a 5-year period, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

Findings come from a report on consumers’ self-reported practices in the home between 2020 and 2025. It covers behaviors related to handwashing, cross-contamination, cooking, chilling, use-by dates, and other topics such as changes made for financial reasons.
