Canned Food Consumption -Swiss Survey 2001

摘要

The consumption of canned food in Swiss households was recorded in a seven-day survey. The average and the 97.5 percentile intake were measured at 0.85 and four cans per person and week respectively. Vegetables, fish and fruits are the principal food categories and represent 74 % of canned food consumed in this study. The results show that the risk assessment in Europe overestimates canned food intake by approximately a factor 5.
