COLLECTED AND VERIFIED AUTOMATICALLY
The European Commission presented the results of a special Eurobarometer study on how EU citizens perceive innovative food products, ingredients, and agricultural crops. The survey covered residents of all European Union member states and provided an overall picture of how Europeans view new technologies in the food sector.
According to the results, a significant portion of respondents acknowledge that innovative food products can be beneficial — both for consumer health and for the sustainability of the food system as a whole. At the same time, many survey participants noted that they lack reliable and understandable information about such products, their composition, production methods, and safety.
The European Commission emphasized that the findings of the study will be taken into account when developing policy in the area of food innovation and consumer communication. Increasing transparency and accessibility of information is viewed as a key factor in building trust in new types of products among the population.
Eurobarometer data may also influence the regulation of new agricultural crops and food production technologies in EU countries, as public opinion plays an important role in decision-making at the EU level. The Commission intends to continue monitoring citizens' attitudes toward innovation in the food sector and use this data to improve its information policy.
