“…It is interesting that over time, the positions show a growing tendency towards more emphasis on the categories of both external coordination and IQ. This is in line with the studies of Kaipia (2021), Wankmüller and Reiner (2020) and Yu and Ren (2018), which indicate that, on the one hand, the attention to (full) chain transparency is growing, while, on the other hand, this creates more challenges. In all research periods, we found the perception of an ongoing challenge related to the need for (full) transparency and traceability in the food supply chain.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the interdisciplinary nature of coordination challenges in the logistic response to food safety incidents while distinguishing the food supply chain positions involved. Design/methodology/approach This adopts an exploratory qualitative research approach over a period of 11 years. Multiple research periods generated 38 semi-structured interviews and 2 focus groups. All data is analysed by a thematic analysis. Findings The authors identified four key coordination challenges in the logistics response to food safety incidents: first, information quality (sharing information and the applied technology) appears to be seen as the biggest challenge for the response; second, more emphasis on external coordination focus is required; third, more extensive emphasis is needed on the proactive phase in the logistic response; fourth, a distinct difference exists in the position’s views on coordination in the food supply chain. Furthermore, the data supports the interdisciplinary nature as disciplines such as operations management, strategy and organisation but also food safety and risk management, have to work together to align a rapid response, depending on the incident’s specifics. Research limitations/implications The paper shows the need for comprehensively reviewing and elaborating on the research gap in coordination decisions for the logistic response to food safety incidents while using the views of the different supply chain positions. The empirical data indicates the interdisciplinary nature of these coordination decisions, supporting the need for more attention to the interdisciplinary food research agenda. The findings also indicate the need for more attention to organisational learning, and an open and active debate on exploratory qualitative research approaches over a long period of time, as this is not widely used in supply chain management studies. Practical implications The results of this paper do not present a managerial blueprint but can be helpful for practitioners dealing with aspects of decision-making by the food supply chain positions. The findings help practitioners to systematically go through all phases of the decision-making process for designing an effective logistic response to food safety incidents. Furthermore, the results provide insight into the distinct differences in views of the supply chain positions on the coordination decision-making process, which is helpful for managers to better understand in what phase(s) and why other positions might make different decisions. Social implications The findings add value for the general public, as an effective logistic response contributes to consumer’s trust in food safety by creating more transparency in the decisions made during a food safety incident. As food sources are and will remain essential for human existence, the need to contribute to knowledge related to aspects of food safety is evident because it will be impossible to prevent all food safety incidents. Originality/value As the main contribution, this study provides a systematic and interdisciplinary understanding of the coordination decision-making process for the logistic response to food safety incidents while distinguishing the views of the supply chain positions.

“…It is interesting that over time, the data indicates that the positions show a pattern of a growing tendency towards more emphasis on the categories of both external coordination and IQ. This concurs with the studies discussed in Chapter 5, which indicate that on the one hand the attention into (full) chain transparency is growing, while on the other hand this creates more challenges (Kaipia, 2021;Pervaiz, Sushil, & Khanyapuss, 2017;Wankmüller & Reiner, 2020;Wolbers, Boersma, & Groenewegen, 2018;Yu & Ren, 2018). In Chapter 9, we elaborated and reflected in-depth on the findings of IQ.…”

“…However, determining food quality is more often by the amount and distribution of the main micronutrients in the food (Jomaa, Hwalla, & Zidek, 2016). Meanwhile, food quality information service is a signi􀅫icant criterion in consumer channel selection and purchasing decisions (Yu & Ren, 2018). Food storage is crucial to maintaining quality.…”

Foodstuffs are a crucial part of the food processing process. The shelf life of foodstuffs is considered one of the in􀅫luences in producing quality food. This study tried to describe the effect of food shelf life on food quality. The research method used descriptive qualitative. Data were from articles and journals related to the shelf life of foodstuffs and their relation to food quality. The results of the study indicated that there is an effect on the shelf life of foodstuffs with food quality. In particular, each food ingredient has its properties and characteristics, thus must adjust the storage process and the shelf life to maintain food quality for safe consumption.
