Research on the Influence Mechanism of Rational Consumers’ Food Safety Supervision Satisfaction

Abstract

As emerging food safety incidents have gained widespread concerns, research on consumers’ attitudes towards this issue is crucial to create effective solutions. To this end, in accordance with relevant data of consumers in 13 cities with subordinate districts, Jiangsu province, this paper divided different consumer groups by their experience so as to study their degree of satisfaction towards food safety and corresponding influencing factors. According to the descriptive statistics and the building of the cumulative logistic regression model, the results therefrom showed that consumers with direct or indirect experience have separate attitudes towards food safety which cannot be changed by changing consumers’ personal characteristics. Moreover, the two groups are divided in their demands in food production and consumption along with exceptions on policy implementation, etc. Finally, suggestions to improve consumers’ satisfaction are given in at the end of the paper.

The Determinants for Food Safety Push Notifications on Continuance Intention in an E-Appointment System for Public Health Medical Services: The Perspectives of UTAUT and Information System Quality

“…Besides the basic need for patients to eat a balanced diet, all hazardous substances need to be controlled; physical, chemical, and microbial contamination must be eliminated, and the patient's dietary safety and knowledge must be enhanced in order for the patient to eat with peace of mind [10]. Food safety incidents can cause economic losses, social disruption, and also have an impact on the environment, so manufacturers involved in the food supply chain and relevant government departments are working to reduce the frequency and severity of their occurrence [11][12][13]. However, due to the public's lack of proper food safety understanding and knowledge of chemistry, they are often unable to interpret the reports accurately, thus causing unnecessary panic at times.…”

Digital Technology, Knowledge Level, and Food Safety Governance: Implications for National Healthcare System

“…To minimize the potential impact on the results of time-varying regional characteristic variables, control variables such as per capita GDP (Per_GDP), population density (Pop_Dens), and food industry output value (Output_Val) of various countries ( 41 , 42 ) were added to the calculation to remove the impact of non-critical factors on the efficiency of food safety supervision. In addition, time-fixed effects were used to control the impact of time-varying unobservable factors on the results at the macro level.…”

Risk Attitude, Contract Arrangements and Enforcement in Food Safety Governance: A China’s Agri-Food Supply Chain Scenario

“…China's food safety incidents, such as Melamine milk powder, lean meat powder, Sudan red salted duck egg, and sick and dead pigs entering the market (the first three events involved the illegal addition of the harmful raw materials, the substances that can promote the growth of lean meat, and the carcinogenic chemicals. The event of dead pigs denotes that the dead pigs which should have been treated innocuously were illegally transported to the market for sale), have received particular public and media attention because they could cause severe health problems (more than 50 thousand people could get sick or die) [3]. Therefore, the issue of how to effectively reduce food safety risk is very important in front of the Chinese government [4].…”
