Survey: Consumers in the US are confident their food is safe

Cargill's survey polled more than 1,000 people in the US in April 2018. 94% of the American consumers say they trust that the meat they buy for grilling is safe to eat.

The survey also found that nearly 80% of American consumers believed food producers are taking the necessary steps to ensure their meat is safe for grilling.

Furthermore, 87% of Americans believed an animal’s diet can have an impact on food safety.

“We’re entering the season where Americans turn to the grill to prepare their meals, and food safety is top-of-mind,” said Chuck Warta, president, Cargill Premix and Nutrition. “It’s clear that consumers continue to care very deeply about where their food comes from and how it is raised, and they are increasingly aware that safety actually begins on the farm with what is in an animal’s diet.”

In addition, the survey uncovered the fact that 72% of Americans say they grill, with 41% grilling at least once a week.

The American consumers' grilling options, according to the survey, are:
42 percent steak
25 percent hamburgers
18 percent chicken
12 percent pork chops/ribs.

Moreover, the survey also showed that 38% of the US consumers read packaging labels for inspection and certification information.
