Investigating Fresh Produce Plastic Packaging

Fresh Produce Shopper Survey

Thank you for helping us investigate plastic packaging in supermarkets. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete and will ask you questions about the fresh produce section in your supermarket.

We suggest completing this survey prior to your shopping for today.
For the next few questions, we're interested in comparing plastic-wrapped fresh produce with produce in other types of packaging, or no packaging (loose).

When you complete the survey you go in for a chance to win a $100 gift card for Seed and Sprout!
