“…These results indicate global trends in food consumers' interests shifting toward weight loss and increased awareness of healthy eating [56]. Trends for the consumption of healthy foods can induce increases in consumers' preferences for purchasing nutritional and safe foods [47,57]. Information on nutritional values can be obtained by product labels (i.e., nutritive components and calories) and affect consumer interests, but, apart from shelf life, there is a lack of information regarding product safety during food purchases.…”

Although consumers’ food purchase/transport have been reported as causes of food safety risks, there is a lack of empirical data that are feasible to identify persistent and emerging risky behaviors of consumers. This longitudinal trend study consists of individual consumer surveys in 2010 (n = 609) and 2019 (n = 605) to analyze changes in risky behaviors linked to food purchase/transport over a decade. Overall, the results identified purchase/transport time and purchase order as the emerging and unchanged risk factors, respectively. Consumers’ preferences into channels for purchase (large discount stores rather than small/traditional markets) and transport (using cars or delivery) implied the convenience as the noticeable trend. Whereas, unexpected increases in purchase/transport time highlighted the underestimated risks in long-term exposure of foods under inadequate temperature. Food should not be exposed to danger zones > 1–2 h, but consumers might be unaware of the risk especially for preferred channels (e.g., 77 and 36 min. are required for purchase and transport from large discount stores, respectively). In the case of unchanged risky behavior, more than half of consumers in both surveys did not follow proper purchasing orders. Our findings highlight the necessity for novel countermeasures and the improvement of current consumer guidelines against emerging and unchanged risky behaviors, respectively.

“…For example, decision makers in Nigeria's Zamfara state need to clean-up artisanal gold mining sites contaminated with lead, which have been linked to the death of over 400 children (Bello et al, 2016;Tirima et al, 2016). Risks that involve children are highly emotive, which is likely to bias clean-up decisions by leading assessors to overestimate risk (Alemayehu, 2015;Kim et al, 2015). A transparent MCDA can mitigate this bias by using a suite of risk attributes that includes risk posed to children (e.g.…”

The Ogoniland region of the Niger Delta contains a vast number of sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons that originated from Nigeria's active oil sector. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reported on this widespread contamination in 2011, however, wide-scale action to clean-up these sites has yet to be initiated. A challenge for decision makers responsible for the clean-up of these sites has been the prioritisation of sites to enable appropriate allocation of scarce resources. In this study, a risk-based multi-criteria decision analysis framework was used to prioritise high-risk sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons in the Ogoniland region of Nigeria. The prioritisation method used a set of risk-based attributes that took into account chemical and ecological impacts, as well as socio-economic impacts, providing a holistic assessment of the risk. Data for the analysis was taken from the UNEP Environmental Assessment of Ogoniland, where over 110 communities were assessed for oil-contamination. Results from our prioritisation show that the highest-ranking sites were not necessarily the sites with the highest observed level of hydrocarbon contamination. This differentiation was due to our use of proximity as a surrogate measure for likelihood of exposure. Composite measures of risk provide a more robust assessment, and can enrich discussions about risk management and the allocation of resources for the clean-up of affected sites.

“…On a second level, in terms of the amount of related research, the challenge of the ''food quality'' is mainly, but not exclusively, linked with ''sensory perception'' and ''consumer science''; ''food quality'' is related to a small and recent area in which sensory and preferences studies on children are associated with ''food safety and prevention'', e.g. risk perception of school food consumption (Kim et al, 2015). Starting from this framework, the present review focuses on the studies dealing with consumer science involving children.…”
