ANNUAL FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY CONSUMER INSIGHT REPORT | 2022

What Consumers Think About Food & Beverage Manufacturing Facilities

For the last three years, we have been gathering and analyzing data on consumer attitudes toward food and beverage manufacturing plants, with a specific emphasis on food safety, plant hygiene, and consumer trust.

Much has changed since our first survey in May of 2020. Today, the food and beverage industry faces new and different challenges — some of them ripple effects of the pandemic — but, at the same time, there are new and exciting opportunities for innovative manufacturers to leverage.

In this report, you’ll also learn about: 

  • How current consumer confidence in food plant safety and hygiene compares to 2020 and 2021
  • Specific concerns of U.S. food consumers and strategies for addressing them
  • New trends that may impact how manufacturers approach plant sanitation
