Analysis of the consumption frequency of dairy products in Hungary

Abstract

The consumption frequency of Hungarian consumers was analyzed as part of the analysis of a 1000-strong representative survey in Hungary. It can be stated that 74.1% of consumers consume some kind of dairy product with some frequency. Despite this, the number of non-consumers of different dairy products is considerable. Liquid milk is the most frequently consumed dairy product among Hungarian consumers, and butter, butter cream and different kinds of ripe cheeses also play a significant role. At the other extreme ice creams and yogurt of natural taste are consumed only about every other week of the year. Margarine was also part of the analysis. 56% of those questioned agreed more or less with the statement that it is a product of milk. If we compare its consumption frequency to the consumption frequency of the dairy products then it surpasses all of them. It is consumed the most frequently, but it is done so in the belief that it is a dairy product.
