Food prices are a big worry for three-quarters of Britons, survey finds

Food Standards Agency says number of people who skip meals or use food bank has leapt in past year

The cost of food is a big worry for the vast majority of Britons while the number of people who skip meals or use a food bank has jumped in the past year, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

Its research shows food prices are a significant future concern over the next three years for more than three-quarters of UK consumers (76%), and the number using a food bank has risen from around one in 10 in March 2021, to nearly one in six this March.
