About the Study:
These are the findings of an Ipsos survey conducted on behalf of Kellanova. Fieldwork was conducted between October 18 and October 21. A total of n=1000 Canadians aged 18+ participated in the survey which was fielded via the Ipsos’ panel. Quotas and weighting were used to ensure the sample’s composition reflects that of the American population according to census parameters. This survey has a credibility interval of +/- 2.4 per cent 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had all American adults 18+ been surveyed.
