Is Organic Food Becoming Less Safe? A Longitudinal Analysis of Conventional and Organic Product Recalls

Abstract: Organic products are often portrayed as a healthy alternative—grown in a sustainable way, often locally and subject to external certification scrutiny. However, recent high-profile cases of contaminated organic food have raised questions about the risks associated with organic produce: is organic produce becoming less safe and more risky? The context for this investigation is in the realm of food product recalls. Based on 2010–2017 panel data from the US on food product recalls (with 2721 observations), this p… Show more

“…Longitudinal studies can provide insight into the determinants and dynamics of consumers’ OF consumption behavior over time (Chowdhury et al , 2021). Such longitudinal studies offer the opportunity to explore the underlying attitudes and motivations of young consumers that drive their OF consumption decisions and the changes in these attitudes and motivations over time (Siegrist et al , 2015).…”

“…The ability to explore young consumers’ motivations and behavior over time is essential for understanding the underlying drivers of OF consumption (Yue et al , 2020). Moreover, longitudinal studies offer the opportunity to identify the factors that may be associated with changes in OF consumption behavior over time (Chowdhury et al , 2021).…”

“…It has been suggested that there are differences in the amount of nutrients and non-nutrient compounds in foods produced by organic and conventional agriculture [9]. While some scientific studies support that organic foods are healthier, more nutritious, safer, and more delicious, some studies report that organic or non-organic foods are not different from each other [10][11][12][13].…”

“…Hu et al, 2017;Yu et al, 2021a), and these results cannot explain the effectiveness of a company's recall strategy. Consumer perception (Khouryieh et al, 2019), industry differences (Chowdhury et al, 2021), and product recall attributes or characteristics (such as the severity of the recall) (Raithel et al, 2021) may be the reasons for the inconsistent conclusions. However, there are few studies on the impact of food recall strategies on corporations or consumers, and instead, the focus has mainly been on automotive recall .…”
