“…Consumers generally assume that all food available for consumption has met prior safety standards and requirements (Hester andHarrison 2001 [cited in Keast 2009]). However, in some cases, the reliability and integrity of the food supply system has being dampened by outbreaks such as BSE in Europe (Vos 2000) and the bird flu epidemic that hit Asia (Abbott and Pearson 2004). Due to the lack of strict quality controls for meat production in China, consumers rank food safety as the most important attribute when purchasing beef from a retail store (Liu et al 2006).…”

This study utilises the Total Food Quality Model to gain a better understanding of how Malaysian consumers make their decision to purchase fresh/chilled meat. We examine the association between quality cues and desired values (quality attributes) with regards to food that is guaranteed Halal, safe to eat, healthy and nutritious, has a good taste, represents good value for money, and is produced in a way which protects the environment and worker welfare. The findings reveal that different quality cues assume different levels of importance when pursuing different desired values.

“…The ideal state is that government express information which is under its supervision to consumers, so that consumers could trust products. However, the real situation of the present society is that government's supervision of each links could not form a complete system and each regulatory parts' disconnection makes producers cannot understand consumers' real demand and makes consumers cannot understand the production process either [2]. As for producers, the information asymmetry makes producers generate fluky psychology, such as profiteering from illegal operation; as for consumers, the information asymmetry deepens consumers' mistrust of the entire logistics process [3], which greatly reduces the consuming desire.…”

As the severe food safety situation in China becomes an urgent problem to be solved, the emergence and development of "Farmer-Supermarket Direct-Purchase" model, to some extent, provides favorable conditions for the solution of food safety problem. The research of food safety control which is based on "Farmer-Supermarket Direct-Purchase "model involves the coordination and unification among government's macro-control, management structure of producer and supermarket. Based on the analysis of the factors and risks of "Farmer-Supermarket Direct-Purchase" management model, this article sets company A as an example analyzing the specific processes and potential risks of supplier relationship management, procurement and distribution etc. in the process of quality and safety management of food supply chain, in order to provide suggestions for the improvement of the of China's food supply chain management efficiency.

“…In response to the BSE crisis in 1996, this framework was significantly reformed both at the national and European level (Vos 2000). Whereas food safety was previously seen as the responsibility primarily of the public sector, now both the public and private sector share that responsibility.…”

Both public and private actors are involved in the monitoring and enforcement of compliance with public food safety norms. Public authorities in countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Canada have recently started to develop forms of coordination and collaboration with private food safety control systems. Such policies bring with them the risk of regulatory capture, loss of transparency and fuzzy accountability relationships. Here we analyse how the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (de Nederlandse Voedsel-en Warenautoriteit -NVWA) assesses and monitors the functioning of private food safety control systems (meta-control) so it can use these private systems in its own enforcement activities. We do so by discussing two national private systems that have been formally accepted by the NVWA: Bureau de Wit and RiskPlaza. The paper examines the safeguards that the public enforcement agency deploys while coordinating its own activities with private food safety controls, the advantages and risks involved in this strategy, and the extent to which this policy can be improved. The study is based on the analysis of policy documents, public and private regulation and open-ended interviews with representatives of the public and private sector in the Netherlands.
