## Summary

The Food Standards Agency has awarded a contract for the provision of a consumer survey project titled "FS900281 Consumer Survey of Allergic Reactions and Near Misses in the Non-Prepacked Sector." The objective of this research project is to conduct a quantitative survey among individuals with diagnosed food hypersensitivity who have recently experienced a hypersensitivity reaction or near miss from non-prepacked foods. The contract, valued at £39,489.82 GBP, was awarded to Aston University. The procurement method used was an Open Procedure (below threshold), with the contract period spanning from 7th November 2022 to 10th March 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the research and development services and related consultancy services industry, to participate in a significant consumer survey project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this tender. The project's emphasis on allergic reactions and near misses in food consumption provides a unique avenue for businesses in the food safety and healthcare sectors to contribute their expertise and potentially expand their market presence through this contract.

## Notice

The aim of this work was to carry out a quantitative survey with a sample of people with diagnosed food hypersensitivity who have had a food hypersensitivity reaction or near miss from non-prepacked food in the last five years. A 'near miss' is defined as either: (a) An allergen was present in the food or drink but was noticed before the food was consumed, for example, a nut garnish on a salad, sesame seeds on a burger bun (b) or allergen requirements had been provided (in advance or at the point of order) but on checking the food business was not aware of the requirements.
