Dates and sample sizes of the survey


Statistical population: German-speaking population ages 14 years and over in private households in the

Federal Republic of Germany

Sampling: Samples drawn at random from land line and mobile telephone numbers which can also

include telephone numbers not listed in directories (in line with standards set by the

Association of German Market Research Institutes – ADM)

Data weighting: Data was weighted according to gender, education, age, employment, size of city and

German federal state to guarantee representativeness

Method: Telephone interview (CATI omnibus survey, Dual Frame)

Presentation of results: All figures given in percentages, rounding differences are possible, only valid responses

were included (response option ‘don‘t know’ was excluded from all analyses)

Conducted by: Kantar

How were the data collected?


Do nanoparticles promote the occurrence of allergies? Does apple juice contain too much

aluminium? The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, or BfR for short, is responsible for

answering questions on all aspects of the health assessment of foods and feeds, consumer

products and chemicals. Through its work, it makes a decisive contribution towards ensuring that

food, products and the use of chemicals have become safer in Germany.

The Institute's main tasks comprise the assessment of existing health risks and identification of

new ones, the development of recommendations to limit risks and the transparent communication

of this process. This work results in the scientific advice given to political decision makers. To help

with the strategic alignment of its risk communication, the BfR conducts its own research in the

field of risk perception. The Institute is independent in its scientific assessments, research and

communication. The BfR belongs to the portfolio of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture

(BMEL).
