FS900281 Consumer Survey of Allergic Reactions and Near Misses in the Non-Prepacked Sector

Tender description

The FSA is looking to appoint someone who can design and deliver quantitative research with robust sample of adults and children with a diagnosed food hypersensitivity who have had a food hypersensitivity reaction or near miss in the last five years. The sample should be sufficient to identify patterns and trends in FHS reactions and for conducting sub-group analysis by allergy, intolerance and coeliac disease. We anticipate that the FHS population will need to be oversampled in order to achieve this. We would like a range of hypersensitivity conditions to be recruited, this includes food allergy, food intolerance, and coeliac disease. A diverse group of participants in terms of gender, age, income, education, and ethnicity should be recruited. For ages under 16, interviews should be conducted with the parent/primary carer of the child.
