“…Several studies indicated that actors at the intersection of the two phenomena, i.e. producers in developing countries looking to export their products to retail in developed importing countries, were in the most disadvantageous position (García Martinez and Poole, 2004;Handschuch et al, 2013;Hansen and Trifković, 2014;Henson et al, 2011;Narrod et al, 2009;Jaffee and Masakure, 2005;Kersting and Wollni, 2012;Marschke and Wilkings, 2014;Rincon-Ballesteros et al, 2019;Schuster and Maertens, 2013;Subervie and Vagneron, 2013). There seems to be a consensus about European private standards demanding heavy investments in the form of annual fees, infrastructure and technology upgrades, training requirements, and third-party audits to bring safety and quality standards of products from third countries at par with, and often well above regulatory requirements and consumer expectations in the EU (Burrell, 2011;Herzfeld et al, 2011;Lin, 2014).…”

European private food safety standards in global agri-food supply chains: a systematic review

Private food safety standards have become an important governance mechanism in contemporary food supply chains. While much has been written about private standards from the perspectives of different academic fields, there has never been a dedicated literature review to examine their interaction with global food supply chains. In this systematic review, 45 peer reviewed articles on private food standards, selected through extensive searches in four academic databases are critically appraised. Our analysis reveals that the most studied European private food safety standards are owned by retail conglomerates and therefore place the retail sector in a position of influence in the supply chain. These standards influence supply chain structures, market access, and the efficiency of food safety management systems. They also challenge the traditional relationship shared by actors in the supply chain with public authorities and the World Trade Organization. In the recent years, their scope has expanded to include topical issues such as environmental sustainability, worker safety, and animal welfare. Overall, the review suggests that European private food safety standards alter the operations of modern agri-food supply chains to accommodate consumer wishes while allowing the retail sector to exert its influence without taking on additional legal and economic liability.

“…En lo que se refiere a los sectores objeto de estudio, como ya ha quedado patente en las líneas anteriores, existe una amplia variedad. Algunos estudios se centraban en empresas manufactureras de modo genérico (Arana-Solares et al, 2019;González-Zapatero et al, 2019;Juan Manuel Maqueira et al, 2019), mientras que otros especificaban un sector concreto, ya sea automoción (Gotteiner et al, 2019b), eólico (Castello, De Castro, & Marimon, 2019) o alimentación (Rincon-Ballesteros et al, 2019). Esta misma diversidad se encuentra en los trabajos orientados al sector servicios.…”

“…Respecto al ámbito geográfico de los estudios, una mayoría de los mismos se centran en España (González-Zapatero et al, 2019;Marimon, Gil-Doménech, et al, 2019;Roldán Bravo et al, 2019;Sanchez-Ruiz, Blanco, & Diaz, 2019;Sanchez-Ruiz, Gomez-Lopez, & Blanco Rojo, 2019). No obstante, también hay estudios en los que se analizan situaciones de otros países tales como Jordania (Al-dweeri et al, 2019), Estados Unidos (Braojos et al, 2019), Pakistán (Iqbal et al, 2019) o Croacia (Malbasic & Marimon, 2019); y otros que trabajan con muestras internacionales (varios países de un mismo o de diferentes continentes) (Arana-Solares et al, 2019;Arredondo & Alfaro-Tanco, 2019;Castello et al, 2019;Melão et al, 2019;Rincon-Ballesteros et al, 2019;Tamayo-Torres et al, 2019).…”

Are you a member of an organization that needs to contact a researcher who works on a topic you are interested in? Are you a PhD supervisor trying to identify experts of an specific topic for the Dissertation Committee? Are you thinking about a research / publication project and want to find some new partners to collaborate with? If you answered yes to any of these questions (or similar questions), this work may be of interest to you. The objective of this article is to summarize the research published in 2019 by Spanish researchers in the area of operations management, who are ACEDEDOT members. This will allow us to identify themes that are considered relevant in the context of a country and a specific organizational or social framework. At the same time, it will make it possible to identify groups of experts by subject area, which may lead to future research, teaching or participation in doctoral thesis committees. In the same way, it can be used so that managers and practitioners can detect lines of work related to their needs. This could help to reduce the gap between business and university, promoting mutual collaboration. Finally, if this work is replicated in the coming years, we will have a quick approximation of how the priority interests evolve for a group of national researchers.

“…BRCGS, 2018;ISO, 2018). Business motivation for gaining 3 rd party certification has largely been seen as gaining market access whilst demonstrating control of product safety ; however, using factor analysis, Rincon-Ballesteros, et al (2019) identified that ethical and legitimacy considerations are two of the four groups of motivating factors involved in Latin American food business decisions to achieve certification to the BRC standard (BRCGS, 2018), demonstrating that the wish to demonstrate ethical supply chains that meet governance and food safety requirements is crucial to business strategy.…”

Food provenance: assuring product integrity and identity

Food supply chains are highly complex and involve numerous actors who influence food safety and the integrity of products and processes, both at individual points in the supply chain and more holistically throughout the chain as a whole. Provenance can relate to a particular source or origin of a food and its individual ingredients and/or relate to claims on how the product is produced and what marketing claims have been attached to the product. The aim of this review is to consider the recent advances in developing transparent data systems to demonstrate food provenance. One technological development is the use of Blockchain, a data handling structure which provides a secure network of information that cannot be changed or destroyed, distributed between supply chain actors. Other developments in information systems that can be used to monitor a range of criteria include geographic information systems (GIS) which can be linked with, for example, stable isotope analysis to provide an indication of provenance for a given product or ingredient. This technology is used as a case study in this paper to demonstrate the opportunities and limitations to such technological approaches. The review reflects on aspects of provenance and the actions that can be taken at organisational and supply chain level to demonstrate transparency so that consumers can have trust in those procuring, processing and supplying food.
