“…The internal consistency obtained with the Cronbach's alpha was 0.95 for the entire sample, and 0.94 and 0.95 for managers and employees, respectively. The present study reproduced a climate assessment following the same technique that was used by the authors of the original instrument (De Boeck et al, ) and the mean, standard deviation, and Cronbach's alpha demonstrate that the version developed in the present study was consistent and accurate, and that if this tool is applied again, there will be little variation in the scores, as evidenced by the standard deviation obtained from the variance.…”

The aims of this study were to translate into Portuguese, adapt, and test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the food safety climate self‐assessment tool. Translation and back translation were performed to test the reliability, internal consistency, conceptual equivalence, and validity of the translated instrument. The process of translating and adapting the tool was completed successfully, and the Portuguese version developed in the present study was confirmed to be similar to the original tool. Practical applications The food safety climate self‐assessment tool translated and adapted to promote the evaluation of the food safety climate in the food industry from Portuguese language countries. This tool should be used by industry managers or owners to know the perception and the culture of food safety among the workers.

“…Thus, De Boeck et al (2015) described the development and validation of an instrument for measuring the food safety climate in the company, while an important part of the literature analyses the psychological aspects of food safety, as in Byrd-Bredbenner et al (2007), da Cunha et al (2013), Bezerra, Mancuso and Heitz (2014).…”

Food safety represents a current topic, with significant implications and diverse approaches within the specialized literature. In the context of globalization and integration of agricultural markets, the necessity of guaranteeing food safety is imperative for the functionality of contemporary agricultural systems. The radical transformation of the national agricultural systems as a result of the influences imposed by the convergence with the requirements and directions of the European agricultural model entails a significant change for the markets of agri-food products, affecting the food trade, its structure and, implicitly, food safety. In this context, the main objective of the present paper is to examine food safety in Romania using an econometric approach to the phenomenon. Nine fundamental variables are considered, for which the causal relationship between food safety and the exogenous variables taken into analysis is tested. The time frame for data availability for all the variables is 1990-2011. The obtained results highlight the transformations of paradigm of the national agricultural model from the perspective of the dimensions regarding food safety, confirming results from previous studies.

“…Furthermore, social networks affect the efficacy of the FSMS. The overall food safety climate (FS‐Climate) of an organization is the convergence of individual characteristics such as beliefs, values, and perceptions into group characteristics (De Boeck et al., ). Thus, the sociotechnical interactions that frame the development, validation, and implementation of the FSMS are crucial to its efficacy and alternatively if there is a negative sociotechnical influence can underpin its vulnerability and potential failure too.…”

“…De Boeck et al. () combine in their study, the techno‐managerial route (based on Luning & Marcelis, ; Luning et al., ) to assess FSMS and also the individual human factors, as they influence the implementation of the FSMS. People in organizations interacting with the technological system create “sociotechnical systems” (Bronfenbrenner, ; Bostrom & Heinen, ; Ghaffarian, ; Winter, Berente, Howison, & Butler, ).…”

The aim of this paper is to review the development of food safety management systems (FSMS) from their origins in the 1950s to the present. The food safety challenges in modern food supply systems are explored and it is argued that there is a need for a more holistic thinking approach to food safety management. The narrative review highlights that while the transactional elements of how FSMS are developed, validated, implemented, monitored, and verified remains largely unchanged, how organizational culture frames the operation and efficacy of FSMS is becoming more important. The evolution of a wider academic and industry understanding of both the influence of food safety culture (FS‐culture) and also how such culture frames and enables, or conversely restricts the efficacy of the FSMS is crucial for consumer well‐being. Potential research gaps worthy of further study are identified as well as recommendations given for the application of the research findings within the food industry.
