In 2020, female consumers in Wales, England, and Northern Ireland were slightly more likely than their male counterparts to check a food product's list of ingredients. Specifically, about a third of women would always or usually check the list of ingredients, while roughly a quarter of men did the same. About 20 percent of the men surveyed said they never looked at it when shopping for food.
