               PORT TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE

             ON NUTRITION AND HUMAN NEEDS


             BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

,'7 4        OF THE UNITED STATES

                                                       LM100010






             Nationwide Food Consumption

             Survey: Need For Improvement

             And Expansion



             Department of Agriculture


             The survey's sample is too small to provide
             useful information in evaluating food assist-
             ance programs and in identifying nutritional
             problems of low-income families. Additional
             low-income families should be sampled to
             provide this information.

             The methodology for obtaining this informa-
             tion has not been fully validated, and the sur-
             vey results will be open to criticism. There are
             no assurances that the data obtained will ac-
             tually measure the amount of food consumed.
             The Secretary of Agriculture should fully vali-
             date the Nationwide Food Consumption Sur-
             vey methodology either before or during the
             survey.
