The aim of this report is to explore Northern Ireland take home food and drink purchases in 2016, 2019 and 2020. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the purchasing of take home food and drink may have been impacted. Therefore, this report will examine the data to identify any key trends in purchasing in 2016 and 2019 (before the Covid-19 pandemic), and then between 2019 and 2020. However, as this study is based on observations, it is not possible to know what may have caused changes in take home food and drink purchasing. It is important to remember that data in 2019 and 2020 are not directly comparable due to Covid-19 restrictions, as the majority of the out of home sector was closed and therefore an increase in take home purchasing is expected to replace the food and drink that would have been purchased outside of the home. The analyses within this report have been conducted by the FSA in Northern Ireland with guidance from Kantar. Data presented within this report was collected in 2016 (52 weeks ending 1st January 2017), 2019 (52 weeks ending 29th December 2019) and 2020 (52 weeks ending 27th December 2020).

Weighed Record

Subjects aged 16–64 years (592; 258 men and 334 women), randomly selected from the population of Northern Ireland, kept a 7 d weighed record of all food and drink consumed. Social, personal and anthropometric data were also collected. From the weighed records food consumption was described in terms of forty-one food groups. Using principal components analysis, four distinct dietary patterns were generated which were identified as a traditional diet, a cosmopolitan diet, a convenience diet and a ‘meat and two veg’ diet. These dietary patterns were then correlated with sociocultural, lifestyle and anthropometric variables. It is clear that dietary behaviour is influenced by a number of inter-related sociocultural demographics and that identifiable population groups in Northern Ireland have different dietary behaviours.

AbstractObjectiveKnowledge of the types and quantities of foods and drinks available in family homes supports the development of targeted intervention programmes for obesity prevention or management, or for overall diet improvement. In the UK, contemporary data on foods that are available within family homes are lacking. The present study aimed to explore home food and drink availability in UK homes.DesignAn exploratory study using researcher-conducted home food availability inventories, measuring all foods and drinks within the categories of fruits, vegetables, snack foods and beverages.SettingBradford, a town in the north of the UK.SubjectsOpportunistic sample of mixed ethnicity families with infants approximately 18 months old from the Born in Bradford birth cohort.ResultsAll homes had at least one type of fruit, vegetable and snack available. Fresh fruits commonly available were oranges, bananas, apples, satsumas and grapes. Commonly available fresh vegetables included potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes and carrots. The single greatest non-fresh fruit available in homes was raisins. Non-fresh vegetables contributing the most were frozen mixed vegetables, tinned tomatoes and tinned peas. Ethnic differences were found for the availability of fresh fruits and sugar-sweetened beverages, which were both found in higher amounts in Pakistani homes compared with White homes.ConclusionsThese data contribute to international data on availability and provide an insight into food availability within family homes in the UK. They have also supported a needs assessment of the development of a culturally specific obesity prevention intervention in which fruits and vegetables and sugar-sweetened beverages are targeted.
