Nationwide survey results

According to a recent nationwide online survey conducted by The Harris Poll and commissioned by General Mills Foodservice, U.S. consumers are eating more breakfast foods than normal during the COVID-19 pandemic and not just in the morning hours.

The nationwide poll surveyed more than 2,000 adults in the U.S. ages 18 and over to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their eating habits.

See some of the research highlights below.
