Fresh Produce Shopper Survey 2026

Investigating fresh produce plastic packaging

Thank you for helping us investigate plastic packaging in supermarkets. This survey, which will ask questions about the fresh produce section, should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. We suggest completing it before you shop today.
1.Which supermarket are you shopping in today?(Required.)
For the following few questions, please randomly choose a fresh produce item.
Please choose your item randomly, not based on price.
2.Which product are you investigating?(Required.)
3.Is your chosen item available without packaging (i.e. sold loose)?(Required.)
4.Is your chosen item available with packaging (i.e. sold wrapped in plastic or some other material)?(Required.)
We're interested in comparing fresh produce wrapped in plastic with produce sold without packaging (loose). Have a look at the example image, then take a photo of your chosen item loose and packaged. Please make sure the price tag is clearly visible, and we can tell what produce item it is.
