The 2023 Food and Health Survey marks the 18th time the International Food Information Council (IFIC) has surveyed Americans to understand their perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding food and food-purchasing decisions. This year’s survey continues an examination of issues related to personal health, nutrition, eating patterns, food production, and food safety. Among many highlights, this year’s survey findings include:

• The increased cost of food and beverages has impacted shopping behaviors for many Americans
• Social media content focused on food and nutrition can cause confusion and doubt
• Food and beverage choices are interconnected with mental and emotional well-being
• Environmental sustainability continues to trail other decision-making factors
• Roughly half of Americans have followed an eating pattern or diet in the past year
• Snacking frequency remains elevated for the second straight year
• More Americans are willing to pay additional costs for products that are socially sustainable
