Abstract:	A postal survey was sent to 150 supermarkets and 112 wholefood shops in the UK; response rates were 53 and 67 per cent, respectively. A telephone survey with 242 members of the general public was conducted in Scotland; there was a 63 per cent positive response. Research found that 29 per cent of the general public bought organic foods at some time.
