Research on rumors surrounding food safety based on information source differences (a review)

Abstract

Food is a basic human right since it is necessary for survival. Unsafe food threatens billions of people throughout the world. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people grow sick and die. Microbial, chemical, personal, and environmental hygiene are all issues that the food chain faces from farm to fork/plate. Human tragedies and economic disasters have been reported in the past as a result of purposeful or inadvertent personal behavior and government inability to ensure food safety and quality. The issue of food safety has gotten a lot of press. As a result, a Food Safety Information Platform (FSIP) based on machine learning and open data with a Chatbot based on cloud computing (MLODCCC) architecture was developed, which includes a nice Facebook hyperlink and chatbot interface for locating trustworthy food safety knowledge. Rumors about the safety of food goods instill fear in people, leading to a broad boycott and, as a result, significant economic loss. This study looked into the function of rumors among friends. The findings suggested that people choose to use news media information in interaction with friends because it is seen to be more reliable than other resources.

Customer’s attitude and purchasing behaviour of green food: The moderating role of environmental concerns and trust

“…Green foods are free from chemicals and pose no harm to humans or the environment (Zahid et al, 2022). Currently, most literature emphasizes different aspects of green consumption, such as green services (Sulaiman et al, 2022), green beautifying products (Alwi et al, 2021), and green clothing (Ajimon and Prajod, 2021), while green food has received less attention. Based on this, the research offers significant contributions to green food literature.…”

“…There has been a gradual growth in global demand for green food, with sales reaching close to 100 billion USD in recent times (Sulaiman et al, 2022). Various scholars attribute this growth in sales to different motives, including the increasing concern among customers to protect the environment and uphold ethical standards (Willer et al, 2020), as well as considerations for health benefits (Akram et al, 2023).…”

“…Various scholars attribute this growth in sales to different motives, including the increasing concern among customers to protect the environment and uphold ethical standards (Willer et al, 2020), as well as considerations for health benefits (Akram et al, 2023). Several studies have attempted to understand the reasons behind customers' behavior in purchasing green food (Birch et al, 2018;Sulaiman et al, 2022;Göhler et al, 2023;Khan et al, 2023). The decision to buy green food is a complex phenomenon influenced by numerous factors, including social pressures and norms (Lang et al, 2022), geographic factors (Asad et al, 2022), price (Kushwah et al, 2019), and availability (Shabbir et al, 2020).…”

Mediating Role of Crisis Management between Knowledge Management and Employee Commitment

“…When used in the course of conducting work, knowledge management enhances and expands relevant information sources (Sulaiman & Ahmed, 2017). This action improves organizational productivity by lowering costs, eliminating repetitive processes, decreasing errors, and saving time and money (Sulaiman, et al, 2022). Businesses and administrators face contemporary issues as a consequence of the knowledge economy's rise at the end of the 20th century.…”

Leadership, Knowledge Management and Employee Commitment: Mediating Role of Crisis Management

“…In this study, we concentrate on two essential crisis components: First the knowledge management (Cillo, Rialti, Bertoldi, & Ciampi, 2019;Sulaiman, et al, 2022) and second leadership (Asad, Asif, Allam, & Sheikh, 2021). With a thorough awareness of these factors, knowledge management support leadership and the formation of a dynamic, crisisalert employee commitment can be achieved during the time of crisis (Thomas & Terry, 2022).…”
