These family food datasets contain more detailed information than the ‘Family Food’ report and mainly provide statistics from 2001 onwards. The UK household purchases and the UK household expenditure spreadsheets include statistics from 1974 onwards. These spreadsheets are updated annually when a new edition of the ‘Family Food’ report is published.

The ‘purchases’ spreadsheets give the average quantity of food and drink purchased per person per week for each food and drink category. The ‘nutrient intake’ spreadsheets give the average nutrient intake (e.g. energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, minerals and vitamins) from food and drink per person per day. The ‘expenditure’ spreadsheets give the average amount spent in pence per person per week on each type of food and drink. Several different breakdowns are provided in addition to the UK averages including figures by region, income, household composition and characteristics of the household reference person.

Food Statistics Pocketbook Summary

The Food Statistics Pocketbook presents a selection of information covering the economic, social and environmental aspects of the food we eat. It contains statistics for different time periods, but always using latest available data at the time of release. Data comes from surveys run by Defra and the Office for National Statistics and from a wide range of other sources including government departments, agencies and commercial organisations.

The full publication is available here: Food statistics pocketbook

Associated datasets from this publication are also available. Data are a mixture of National Statistics, Official Statistics and unofficial statistics. Unofficial statistics are used where there are gaps in the evidence base. Where National Statistics are used this is indicated. Further information on National Statistics can be found on the https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/">UK Statistics Authority website.

The four separate “chapter” pages, and the glossary, have been combined into one webpage to simplify navigation.

• Food Chain
• Prices and Expenditure
• Global and UK Supply
• Food Security Report

The report sets out an analysis of statistical data relating to food security in the UK, fulfilling the duty in the Agriculture Act 2020 to present a report on food security to Parliament at least once every three years. The UKFSR examines past, current, and future trends relevant to food security to present the best available understanding of food security.

The next report will be published towards the end of 2027. Some statistics included in the UKSFR are updated more frequently, for example in the Food statistics in your pocket publication.

‘Family Food’ is an annual publication which provides detailed statistical information on purchased quantities and expenditure derived from both household and eating out food and drink. Data is collected for a sample of households in the United Kingdom using self-reported diaries of all purchases, including food eaten out, over a two week period. Where possible quantities are recorded in the diaries but otherwise estimated. Current estimates are based on data collected in the ‘Family Food Module of the Living Costs and Food Survey’.

HMRC has developed an open data strategy, a detailed document laying out plans to publish information in a linkable and re-usable format.

As part of this initiative, the Department has also released the Data Catalogue, an inventory of the datasets HMRC holds and processes.

The catalogue is a refresh of the information released in the transparency implementation plan.

The security markings, entered on the Data Catalogue spreadsheet, are defined on the Government Security Classifications page and more specifically in the Working with Official information leaflet.

The National Food Survey (NFS) was originally set up in 1940 to monitor the adequacy of the diet of urban working class households. It evolved into a continuous sampling enquiry into the domestic food consumption and expenditure of all private households, regardless of class. This open data release covers the years from 1974 to 2000, when the National Food Survey and Family Expenditure Surveys were merged into the Expenditure and Food Survey, and then became known as the Family Food Module of the Living Costs and Food Survey.

The data that Defra is releasing now as Open Data are the only remaining data in electronic form. They were stored in Microsoft Access database format as five-year databases except for the last year, 2000. For each year there was a standard set of data tables:

• Diary data (the summarised records of each purchase of food for consumption in the home, taken from the National Food Survey log-books)
• Household data (the characteristics of the household such as location, occupation of Head of Household and Housewife (if present) etc., taken from the interviewer’s questionnaire)
• Mealsout data (record of all meals taken outside the home, taken from the log-books)
• Visitor data (record of all visitors to the home, taken from the questionnaire)
• Person data (record of each member of the household such as age, gender, occupation, taken from the questionnaire)

Some changes have been made to make these suitable for release as Open Data. These are detailed in the document “Introduction to the National Food Survey” within the data release. In particular, the Person data has been withheld from open release for disclosure control purposes. All other data is available as separate tables in tab-separated-value text format for individual years.

In addition, there are

• Nutrient Conversion Factor tables for each year (details in the other documentation)
• lookup tables to translate the short field codes in the original data tables into longer, more meaningful terms, taken from the database system.
• some additional tables and documentation to try to clarify meanings and changes in the usage of data fields, and some of the changes made to the data for disclosure control purposes. More details are in the “Introduction” file.

Trying to find a balance between providing a rich and useful source of food purchasing data, and protecting the privacy of respondents throughout the years, has been one of the biggest challenges involved in releasing this data. We have consulted extensively with privacy experts, data protection specialists in Defra and a group of trusted external data testers in the run up to releasing this data. We have published a privacy impact assessment (see link above) which takes you through our process creating a data set which minimises privacy risks while hopefully still being useful to the public.

The data is being released under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (OGL). For the avoidance of doubt, attempts to re-identify individuals from the openly licensed datasets is not an acceptable use of the data. Any instances of this brought to Defra’s attention will be directed to the Information Commissioner’s Office for investigation.

Defra takes the privacy of respondents to Family Food surveys seriously. If you identify a privacy-related risk please let us know via familyfood@defra.gsi.gov.uk. Defra will remove the data from data.gov.uk and other online locations if a serious privacy breach is identified, and work to resolve it.

https://data.gov.uk/dataset/family_food_open_data">The open data release can be found by clicking here.

Another version of this data, without the disclosure control changes, is available from the United Kingdom Data Service under an End User Licence. https://www.ukdataservice.ac.uk/">For details go to the UK Data Service and search for National Food Survey.

This annual publication provides a round-up of statistics on food covering the economic, social and environmental aspects of the food we eat (excluding agriculture). It contains sections on:

• the food chain
• prices and expenditure
• global and UK supply

Accompanying data sets and data sources

The information in the pocketbook comes from previously published government surveys run by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and a wide range of other sources including government agencies and commercial organisations. The publication carries the National Statistics logo but is a combination of National Statistics and other statistics. Those which are National Statistics are identified as being so. Data quality varies among the many data sources and where possible an indication is included in bullet points. For more information see the data set that accompanies each chapter of the main publication.

Data uses

Researchers put this data to a wide range of uses spanning from informing decisions on the general public’s choices through to local food policy making. It is often used for statistics on the food industry, on food prices, on balance of diet, international comparisons and food production to supply ratio.

The Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) presents statistical estimates for the allocation of identifiable expenditure between the regions and nations of the UK. This year’s dataset covers the outturn period 2016-17 to 2020-21.

Data analysis tools

Alongside the main CRA release, the Treasury has published further analysis tools in the form of “interactive tables” and the full CRA database. These tools will allow users to manipulate the data to create their own views. The database contains the underlying “segment” level data used to construct the published tables in CRA 2021. Figures are in nominal terms. The “interactive tables” include both nominal and real terms data, but exclude the “segment” level information.
