Consumer Food Safety Survey Data from Norway and the UK with 1,973 Participants

1,973 consumers from Norway and the UK participated in an online experiment testing interventions for safe food handling. Participants were assigned to control, information video, or game-based conditions and completed pre- and post-surveys spaced seven days apart. The data was collected by researchers from Aarhus University for a 2022 publication in Food Control.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the causal impact of game-based interventions on reported food safety behaviors.
• Analyzing changes in beliefs about food safety myths and effective actions pre- and post-intervention.
• Studying demographic and preference correlates of food handling practices among consumers.

Strengths

• Data from a controlled experiment with 1,973 participants provides a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Includes longitudinal elements with pre- and post-surveys spaced seven days apart to measure change.
