“…It is known that higher prices affect the consumer choices when they intend to purchase organic food [47]. Similar experience was seen in China where different food safety labeling systems exist, such as "Safe Food", "Green Food" or "Organic Food" [48].…”

“Zero Residue” Concept—Implementation and Certification Challenges

et al. 2023

This paper gives an overview of scientific challenges in implementing and certifying “Zero residue” approach. The rationale behind the concept is that final control of commodities during/immediately after harvesting should confirm that traces of all used plant protection products are less than or equal to 0.01 mg/kg. To evaluate the risks in applying this concept, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) as a tool has been used. Among the most common factors affecting the pesticide residue levels in fresh produce, the following three appeared to be the biggest challenges in the “Zero residue” concept implementation and certification process: the use of unregistered plant protection products, inadequate sampling plan, and inappropriate laboratory methods. The analysis showed that all three factors have strong influence on achieving “Zero residue” limits.

“…The physical environment in which food is purchased greatly influences risk perceptions. Environmental features such as retail conditions, food-hygiene practices, environmental sanitation, and even vendor appearance, provide consumers with information about the vendor's adherence to food safety-regulations, and greatly influence perception of risks associated with food products (Seo & Lee, 2021;Wang et al, 2022;. On the other hand, brand has a relatively weak linkage with food safety and does not seem to influence consumers' risk perception (Wang et al, 2022).…”

In March 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the report ‘Technical assistance in the field of risk communication’, outlining four key areas for advancing scientific evidence to cover knowledge gaps in food safety related risk communication research. The four areas covered included: (1) false information related to food safety (2) effectiveness of transparency initiatives (3) insights into consumer trade‐offs related to risks and benefits (4) linking factors behind perception and behaviour. The successive EFSA theme paper on ‘Evidence‐based risk communication in the EU food system’ clarified the scope and objectives within each research area. Building on the findings in these two publications, an action Roadmap was developed which delves deeper into these areas and identifies key challenges and knowledge gaps through rigorous desk research, literature reviews, and interviews with key stakeholders. The produced roadmap outlines eight project proposals each addressing specific needs and covers all the four areas. By implementing the proposals outlined and described throughout the report, EFSA will be able to further improve risk communication including cooperation and engagement with its stakeholders in the EU food safety ecosystem. Each proposal details suggested activities to be performed, expected impact, potential challenges, collaboration and cooperation opportunities and is supported by SWOT and PESTLE analyses. Finally, a prioritisation strategy is presented for the implementation of the proposals within and across the four research areas in the short and medium term.

“…Crisis in trust has consequently become a critical issue for food producers and other stakeholders (Wilson et al, 2016;Truong et al, 2021;Spalding et al, 2023). Examining factors that could buffer the negative impact of food safety incidents on consumers' trust and purchase is pivotal for efficient risk management and consumer commitment repairment (El Benni et al, 2019;Focker et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022;Wu et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe present experimental study aims to investigate when a food safety incident occurs, how country image influences consumers' trust and purchase intention, as well as the relationship between trust and purchase intention.Design/methodology/approachParticipants (N = 1,590) were randomly allocated into one of the eight conditions [(country competence: high vs low) × (country warmth: high vs low) × (clean green image: high vs low)], read the corresponding country image descriptions, and rated measures on trust in food safety and quality, and purchase intention of fruit imported from this exporting country before and after reading a fictional food safety incident scenario.FindingsResults showed that the food safety incident led to a significant decrease in trust and purchase intention across all conditions. However, trust in food safety and quality, and purchase intention were still higher in high competence, warmth or clean green image conditions. The decreased magnitude of trust in food safety was larger when country competence and clean green image was high, and when country warmth was low. Food safety incident caused purchase intention to become more dependent on trust in food safety than food quality.Originality/valueThis study provides a novel insight into the impacts of food safety incidents on consumers' responses in different country image contexts including the human-related and environment-related dimensions.
