A quarter of French consumers do not get their daily recommended fruit & veg
The proportion of adults meeting their daily required amount fell to 25% in 2016. Consumers eating less than 3.5 servings per day account for more than one French person in two (54 %), while they were only 46% 7 years ago.
In children 3 to 17 years of age, the situation is even more alarming. Only 6% take their 5 servings a day, while 45% get less than 2 servings (compared to 32% in 2010).
The study of the Crédoc emphasised the disparities between the different social groups. Less than one in four (23%) of children of parents with at least three years of higher education got their daily recommended amount of fruit and veg.
