“…A reliable authentication and traceability system can constitute an essential instrument for the protection of consumers, reducing the chance of people consuming adulterated or contaminated foods, and increasing supplier control and process safety. Consumers showed limited knowledge about the importance of authentication and traceability of food products [ 3 , 4 ], making essential the dissemination of the potential and reliability of tracing methods with the purpose to increase people’s awareness of the role of food surveillance in health protection and the truthfulness of traceability information.…”

In the last decades, the demand for molecular tools for authenticating and tracing agri-food products has significantly increased. Food safety and quality have gained an increased interest for consumers, producers, and retailers, therefore, the availability of analytical methods for the determination of food authenticity and the detection of major adulterations takes on a fundamental role. Among the different molecular approaches, some techniques such as the molecular markers-based methods are well established, while some innovative approaches such as isothermal amplification-based methods and DNA metabarcoding have only recently found application in the agri-food sector. In this review, we provide an overview of the most widely used molecular techniques for fresh and processed agri-food authentication and traceability, showing their recent advances and applications and discussing their main advantages and limitations. The application of these techniques to agri-food traceability and authentication can contribute a great deal to the reassurance of consumers in terms of transparency and food safety and may allow producers and retailers to adequately promote their products.

“…Previous experience with food safety incidents and habits were critical drivers of food safety. The authors state that defensive behavior and risk perception both increase after negative experiences such as an FBD [9,49,61,98], food safety crisis [100], and specific public incidents (e.g., dairy sector in China [53,77]). Negative experiences could increase the consumption of food perceived as safer (e.g., organic food [97]) and reduce the consumption of food perceived as "risky" such as chicken [91].…”

“…Many studies have observed the effect of different types of trust, such as trust in the government, media, manufacturers and retailers, and certification. Positive effects of trust have been observed [9,47,50,77,102]. In contrast, many studies have pointed out that consumers have little or no trust in the government, certifications, and institutions [65,71,77,103].…”

This scoping review aimed to map the main evidence in the existing literature regarding consumer perceptions and beliefs regarding food safety in the context of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries. Articles were searched in the Web of Science, Scopus, and SciELO databases. The last search was performed on November 2021. Only the studies conducted within BRICS countries were included. The synthesis aimed to group similarities in consumer beliefs and perceptions of food safety. After screening, 74 eligible articles were included in the study. Of the 74 studies analyzed, 49 (66.2%) were carried out in China, 14 (18.9%) in Brazil, 5 (6.8%) in India,4 (5.4%) in South Africa, and 2 (2.7%) in Russia. Thirty-three motivators of perceptions and beliefs regarding food safety were identified. Food safety motivators were grouped into three categories: (1) sociodemographic characteristics, (2) cognitive aspects, and (3) other. In the “sociodemographic characteristics” category, the motivator with the highest number of corresponding results was education level (results = 22), followed by income (results = 22), both positive drivers for food safety perceptions. The “cognitive aspects” category comprised the majority of the identified motivators. Concern for food safety (results = 32) and risk perception (results = 30) were the motivators with the highest number of results among all categories and motivators. Finally, the main motivator in the “other” category was place of consumption/purchase (results = 8), focusing on consumers underestimating the risk of having a foodborne disease when eating away from home. China and Brazil are leading the way in studies on this topic. Consumers’ perceptions are influenced by socioeconomic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, education level, income), cognitive aspects (e.g., knowledge, risk perception, food concerns, previous experience with food safety incidents) and other situational factors (e.g., price, place of purchase, traceability).

“…With the increase in per capita income and the popularization of healthy consumption concepts, Chinese consumers have a growing demand for dairy products [ 1 ]. The frequent occurrence of dairy product safety incidents has led consumers to pay more attention to the quality and safety of dairy products, and some consumers prefer imported dairy products with high quality and low prices [ 2 ].…”

China’s dairy product import volume and output continue to grow rapidly, and to a certain extent, it will form a substitute for the Chinese dairy market. Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of the import of dairy products on the technological progress of raw milk production in China. Using the data from 2005 to 2017, this paper uses the DEA model and the input-output model to analyze the impact of China’s dairy product imports on the technological progress of raw milk production. The model results show that: (1) there are differences in the technological content of dairy products from different importing countries; (2) The total technological content of imported dairy products hinders the improvement of the technological progress index of small, medium and large-scale production of raw milk in China, and has the most prominent negative impact on the technological progress of large-scale raw milk production in China; (3) The technological content of dairy products imports from New Zealand, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries can help improve the technological progress index of China’s moderate-scale production of raw milk, while importing countries from the United States, Canada and other countries hinder it.
