“…Consumer's trust in the food industry is measured for four different actors, namely farmers, retailers, food manufacturers and the government. Consumer's perceptions of the degree to which these actors were competent, open, and caring about food safety are assessed through six items per actor, which have been developed and validated by De Jonge et al (2008a;. Items included "Retailers have the competence to control the safety of food", "Retailers are sufficiently open about the safety of food", and "Retailers take good care about the safety of our food".…”

“…In surveys, consumers often express concerns about food safety (De Jonge et al 2008a;Verbeke and Vackier 2004). In particular, meat products are considered a vulnerable category, a fact which can be partially explained by the occurrence of many meat related food safety incidents over the last decades.…”

Objective: This study explored the relationship between consumers' trust in and attitude towards food safety and, then, examined the prediction of trust in food safety by the attitude towards food safety. Method: One hundred and eight Malaysian Chinese college students (42 men, 66 women) completed online survey. Trust in food safety included dimensions of ways of shopping, food quality, cooking methods, consumption situation, and purchasing motives. Attitude towards food safety consisted of positive and negative aspects. Results: Positive attitude towards food safety significantly correlated to and successfully predicted trust in food safety concerning cooking methods and consumption situation. On the other hand, negative attitude towards food safety significantly correlated to and successfully predicted trust in food safety regarding ways of shopping, food quality, and purchasing motives. Conclusion: Malaysian Chinese college students with positive or negative attitude towards food safety were able to predict different behaviors concerning their trust in food safety. Those with positive attitude towards food safety tended to enjoy various cooking methods and share food with friends and family members. Those with negative attitude towards food safety most likely would shop cautiously, choose most fresh and healthy food, read into product labels, and believe advertised food.

“…2 attribute into a search attribute (Darby & Karni, 1973). Trust on the information delivered relies not only on the credibility of regulatory authorities but also on the perceived commitment of meat chain stakeholders in complying with AW superior standards (de Jonge et al, 2008;Vanhonacker & Verbeke, 2014). This latest aspect has been studied by Nocella et al (2010Nocella et al ( , 2012 who, in their cross-country study, found that WTP for AW labelling is more influenced by trust toward farmers' compliance with AW practices than other stakeholders (i.e.…”

Attitudes towards beef animal welfare (AW) and Willingness to Pay (WTP) for AW certification are investigated among consumers in two Spanish and two French regions located on both sides of the Pyrenees (n=1213). Attitudes were measured through a scale of 11 animal practices, on which, consumers report their degree of concern and trust on the supply chain compliance. Attitudes significantly differed across regions, especially with respect to those AW practices carried out by farmers, while trust lies behind concerns. Three segments based on individual consumer attitudes are defined by opposing those consumers who are more concerned and who trust more on the compliance with AW standards (n=264, 22%) to those less concerned and who are more uncertain about stakeholders´ compliance with AW rules (n=356, 29%). Consumer location, gender, age and education significantly differed across attitudinal clusters. Results from a contingent valuation survey show that WTP for certified animal friendly beef ranged between 20.6% and 22.6% over the average market price of standard beef, in Spain and France, respectively. Both, consumers' socio-demographic characteristics and habits regarding beef meat purchasing and attitudes towards farmers influenced this WTP (the more consumers trust in farmers' involvement in animal welfare, the highest is their WTP), while a negative overall attitude significantly reduced WTP.
