Buying habits for loaves of bread and sandwiches

FOI REF: FOI-2024-1903

You asked

Please could you produce a report to look into the following:

1. How many loaves of bread are bought by British consumers each year?

2. How many shop-bought sandwiches are bought by British consumers each year?

Ideally these will show data from the past 5 years so we can identify trends in buying habits. 

We said

Thank you for your request for the number of loaves of bread and sandwiches bought by British consumers each year.

Unfortunately we do not hold data at that level of detail within the organisation. However, you may be interested in our published data, which includes average weekly household expenditure on bread in the Family Spending publication and commodity data in the Non-financial business economy publication.
