3 pages., Online from publisher., Report from the Consumer Trust Insights Council indicates that beyond shoppers' emphasis on supplies of canned and frozen supplies of food during this global disease outbreak, "there's something else folks are buying during their supply runs - guilty pleasures." Those take the form of treats like chocolate, cookies and beverages, "...little indulgences to bring them joy during anxious times."
10 pages., Online via UI electronic subscription., Results of 251 consumer surveys in four UK supermarkets revealed that only 5.6% nominated country of origin as one of the reasons for choosing a fresh food item they had just purchased. However, stated preference surveys in the street found that 21.5% indicated that "food miles" or "the long distance it travels" would stop them buying New Zealand products. "What people say may differ substantially from what they actually do in regard to 'food miles'."
