A survey conducted in 2020 revealed that 23 percent of the respondents who lived on their own in the United Kingdom (UK) always checked the ingredients when buying food, compared to 15 percent of respondents who lived with two other people. A share of 18 percent of the respondents from households with five members stated they never looked at the ingredients of the food they were buying.
