The aim of the research is to improve our understanding of how consumer attitudes and perceptions to food and health in Canada change over time. The panel study consists of participants representative of the population of Ontario. Respondents will be between 20 and 69 years of age. The participants will be asked from time to time about their views on food quality, food safety and health issues through internet based surveys. The research is your opportunity to influence policy-makers on issues related to food and health, which ultimately may benefit consumers.

Participants are vetted through a process approved by the University of Guelph’s ethics procedures and can voluntarily withdraw from the study at any time. By participating, you may have a chance of winning one of two cash prizes of $700, once every three months and the winner will be notified of their winning the cash prize.
