Up Nearly 20 Percent
Ist 9 Months Of 1968
It's general knowledge that
use of convenience foods is in
creasing, but the U S. Depart
ment of Agriculture found some
surprises in comparing use of 32
convenience foods m 1955 and
1965.
Low-income households in
creased their use of the 32 con
venience foods more than high
income households. The money
value of convenience foods used
by the low-income group in
creased by 47 percent, while the
increase for the high-income
group was about 28 percent.
The average for all households
was 34 percent.
Fresh, commercial fruit juice
was one of the biggest gamers m
the 10-year period, with nearly
a 3 J fold increase. Powdered
fruit ades and punches regis
tered a 200 percent increase in
quantity used, in spite of a 9-fold
increase in cost value.
The data on convenience foods
were gathered as part of a com
piehensive survey of food con
sumption in U.S households in
the spring of 1965 This and a
similar survey in 1955 were con
ducted by food economists in
USDA’s Agricultural Researcn
Service. Data were collected op
all foods used during a 1-week
period, including the 32 com
monly used convenience foods
reported here.
The combined money value of
these 32 convenience foods pur

period increased 33 percent
from $6 15 per household in 1955
to $8 13 in 1965 The increase per
person was from $1 84 to $2 47
—up about 34 percent.
