Under the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, departments are required to publish in full the results of official surveys, and the Family Food report and associated datasets fulfil this requirement. With a dataset as rich as Family Food there is a wide and substantial range of potential secondary analyses that could be produced with it, on its own or combined with other published official statistics data. The raw Family Food survey dataset, as well as many other government survey data, is made available on the UK Data Service to researchers wanting to carry out their own analysis. An Eatwell Guide analysis was recently produced by the Food Foundation in this way.
