“…Sodium benzoates has negative adverse effects to human health in high concentration, when consumed, it has negative effect on asthmatic patients causing rhinitis, chronic urticarial and as benzoates can cause brain damage [13,38,39]. Also, high benzene in the body is carcinogenic, which is formed during storage condition influenced by high temperature through decarboxylation of benzoates by hydroxyl radicals as seen in equation 5 and 6 [40].…”

Soft drinks consumption is still a controversial issue for public health and public policy, as the influence storage condition impacts taste, color and shelf life. In all, fifty (50) soft drinks samples, acquired from Enugu, Aba, Asaba, Onitsha and Owerri markets in Nigeria, were subjected to four different storage conditions namely: room temperature (RT), refrigerated (RF), 40 °C and 60 °C for 15 days after which they were analyzed for sodium benzoate concentration using HPLC – UV/Vis detector. The results showed on the average that at RT and RF, soft drinks from Aba had the highest concentration of sodium benzoate (98.7 mg/L and 112.9 mg/L) respectively while samples from Asaba had least concentration of 39.9 mg/L and 38.1 mg/L. At increased temperature of 40 °C, the concentration of sodium benzoate increased generally across the sample, while at 60 °C, the levels in all the samples analyzed were either reduced to less than 50% or below detection level, which suggest that degradation of sodium benzoate at this elevated temperature could result in benzene formation, which is a known carcinogen. Carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk assessment showed that children are at risk compared to adults due to higher sodium benzoate daily intake leading to high rate of hyperactivity in correlation to malaise.

“…It is also found that the long-term use of sodium benzoate treated food products might produce carcinogenic compounds when they get combined with vitamin C or ascorbic acid (Samal et al, 2017). Sodium benzoate treated food products was tested for genotoxic effects by using chromosomal aberrations, sister-chromatid exchanges and micronucleus analysis in cultured human peripheral lymphocytes and comet assay in lymphocytes (Zengin et al, 2011).…”

Food preservatives are chemical or natural substances that are added to the food products which will help to increase the shelf life and also inhibits the growth of microorganisms that causes food spoilage. The objective of review is to know and understand the adverse effects of chemical preservative in food products. Even though the chemical preservative used is approved by the FDA, whereas the long-term usage of some preservatives can causedifferent health problems in humans including cancer. This review is also intended to understand how the preservative induce different health problem in the body if consumed for long term. It is not possible to review all the preservatives hence, mainly focused on sodium sulphite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, Tertiary butylhydroquinoe (tBHQ) and Butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA) which are commonly used food preservatives in beverages, dried foodproducts, meat and other processed food. The long-term consumption of the food which is treated with the above-mentioned food preservatives showed signs of carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and other allergies. In future the usage of natural food preservative which is derived from plants and other natural sources can make a drastic change in growing health problems using chemical preservatives.

“…meat, fishery products and fruits) (van Rijswijk andFrewer, 2008, p. 1035). In addition, previous work on food safety has focused on a narrow range of food safety attributes, such as country of origin (Barbarossa et al, 2016), environmental impact (Seo et al, 2004), preservatives (Samal et al, 2017), pesticides (Carvalho, 2006) or organic food products (Bishnoi and Kumar, 2017). This paper focuses on subjective food safety as a part of food quality and examines its impact on consumers' purchasing behaviors in more general terms.…”

Purpose This study aims to focus on the food industry and empirically examine the mediating role of consumers’ perceived food safety on the relationship between a company’s service recovery and customer loyalty. In addition, consumers’ demographic characteristics and their influences on the relationship between perceived food safety and customer loyalty are determined. Design/methodology/approach A survey was carried out through a structured questionnaire which was administered to the public. Using a small intercept interview, a random sample of 836 usable questionnaires was collected in Greece. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied to validate the proposed constructs. The causal relationships among constructs were examined using structural equation modeling. Findings According to the findings, consumers’ perceived food safety partially mediates the effect of a company’s service recovery on customer loyalty. The socio-demographic profile of consumers (gender, marital and parenthood status) also significantly influences the underlying factors of product and the loyalty attributes. Practical implications This study enriches the existing literature of food safety by examining the distinct role that consumers’ perceptions play in forming loyalty, highlighting the importance of companies’ recovery efforts. The results obtained from this analysis offer a better understanding of consumer behavior toward food safety – encouraging and supporting food companies to successfully design their marketing strategies. Food safety issues also have become increasingly important in international trade, which makes it essential to understand consumer perceptions and behavior toward food safety. Originality/value This study fills the identified literature gap and contributes to the literature, as no previous study has examined the proposed relationships in the food sector, taking into consideration food safety issues.
