Building off the previous month’s survey, the December 2023 Consumer Food Insights Report digs deeper into the relationships between food date labels and the decision to discard food.

Nearly eight in 10 Americans will celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday with a special meal, according to the October 2023 Consumer Food Insights Report.

Consumers generally remain more optimistic about food prices compared to a year ago.

Consumers who report they are most satisfied with their food consumption also spend the lowest share of their incomes on food, according to the July 2023 Consumer Food Insights Report.
