Survey Data on New Genomic Techniques (Dataset)

This survey by EFSA provides insights in terms of:
• Europeans’ concerns regarding food, and interest in several food safety topics.
• Europeans’ knowledge and perception of new genomic techniques (NGTs), including awareness of NGTs, which NGT-related information evokes most interest, perceived effects on the environment, health, etc. of the application of NGTs to food, among others.

The survey was implemented by the Teleperformance in 24 member states (i.e. all EU27 countries except Cyprus, Luxembourg, and Malta) plus Norway between 17th and 19th of November 2021. A total of 8,900 respondents from different social and demographic groups completed the survey online in their mother tongue, with 300 to 500 respondents per country. These sample sizes provide robust results and ensure that responses are representative in each of the countries to be surveyed.

The sample was nationally representative with respect to age and gender. Other demographic information collected included education, among others.
