The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Eurobarometer conducted a study on consumer perceptions of food safety throughout the European Union (EU). Notable conclusions suggest that respondents trust scientists over EU institutions. And, even though respondents are less concerned about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) compared to the previous study from 2010, they continue to demonstrate a heightened awareness of food issues involving pesticides, antibiotic residues/resistance, and pollutants in meat and poultry.
