In the 2023 “Wake Up Organic Data Study,” commissioned by Albertsons Cos. and carried out in partnership with El Segundo, Calif.-based Prodege from March 25 to April 2, the Boise, Idaho-based grocer noted various trends in relation to consumers’ breakfast practices.

The online survey of 2,000 adults 18 years old and up found that 55% of respondents said that “an organic breakfast helps me start the day off right” and 52% said that “eating an organic breakfast is an important part of a healthy morning routine.”
