Irish people above EU average in fruit and veg consumption

Irish people are just above average when it comes to the amount of fruit and vegetables we eat when compared with our European counterparts.

We've ranked 7th out of 19 countries in a study of EU eating habits by the European Food Information Council.

Poland tops the list, followed by Italy. The UK came bottom of the table, eat 258 grams a day - short of the 400g recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
