    Brief

    The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is commissioning a social science research project through a call-off contract (C425727) to investigate consumer behaviors and practices related to raw pet food handling and safety. This research directly supports the FSA's Area of Research Interest: understanding the drivers of poor food hygiene behaviors in households and food businesses, and identifying effective methods for translating food safety knowledge into safer practices. The project aligns with the FSA's Corporate Priority of evidence-based risk analysis. Suppliers selected through this call-off opportunity will conduct research to examine what factors influence how consumers handle, store, and prepare raw pet food, with findings intended to inform FSA policy and intervention strategies to improve food safety outcomes. This is an ideal opportunity for research organizations with expertise in social science, consumer behavior, food safety, and behavioral change.
