Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This comprehensive report contains cost and yield data for 247 food forms. Aside from factors such as comparative eating quality and the like, the yield and cost data developed in this study make available for the first time to consumers and researchers a basis for making accurate cost comparisons on a large number of foods in various market forms. The overall objective of the study was to determine the effect of convenience foods or more highly processed food forms on the price of these foods to consumers. Specific objectives were to ascertain (1) the cost per serving of selected convenience foods and their counterparts; (2) the seasonal and geographical effects of convenience foods on prices to consumers; (3) the probable effect of convenience foods on food costs per $100 expenditure for food in grocery stores; and (4) the cost, in terms of higher costs per serving, of the worktime saved by using the convenience forms of various foods.
