As of 2020, a survey was conducted among Italian consumers aiming at investigating the food wasted over a month. The survey results showed that respondents over 55 wasted the least, with 44 percent of them not wasting any type of food. On the contrary, respondents between 18 and 34 years were the ones wasting the most, with only 28 percent of them not wasting any type of eatable product over the previous month.
What food products have you bought and wasted over the last month?
The survey question was phrased by the source as follows: "Nel corso dell'ultimo mese, quali fra questi prodotti alimentari ti è capitato di acquistare e sprecare/gettare via? Seleziona tutte le risposte che ritieni opportune." Multiple answers were possible.
