ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Surprisingly, about two-thirds (63%) of all U.S. adults are extremely or very concerned with the cleanliness of restaurants they eat at -- this translates to approximately 140 million adults(1). Many are also concerned with the safety of food purchased in the grocery store (52%), the quality of drinking water in their community (51%), the healthiness of ingredients in the foods they eat (44%) and the origin of the fresh produce they consume (41%). In all of these cases, women are more likely to be concerned than men, and adults ages 35 and over are more likely to be concerned than those ages 18 to 34.

These are some of the results of a survey conducted online by Harris Interactive(R) between October 10 and 12, 2006 among a national sample of 2,357 U.S. adults aged 18 or over.
