“…Safety is therefore influenced a lot by the trust that consumers have on the producer and methods of production (Naspetti and Zanoli 2009). The presence of perceived risk would negatively impact consumers' food choice decisions and result in reduced consumption (Burton and Young 1996;Grunert 2005). Rijswijk and Frewer (2008) observed considerable overlaps between consumers' definitions of quality and safety.…”

The main purpose of this research was to gain some exploratory insights into how important food quality and safety issues were in influencing Botswana customers' food purchase decisions. A cross-sectional descriptive research design utilising a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 150 respondents who reside in Gaborone, Botswana in January 2011. The study found that in defining quality and safety of food, consumers used the same attributes thus resulting in an overlap in definitions of the two concepts. It also revealed that both food quality and safety were considered important by consumers. Consumers also perceived a relationship between quality and safety as they believed the two to be related. The implication from this research is that, consumers in developing countries such as Botswana also have concerns regarding food quality and safety and that the two concepts are important in their daily food choices.

In addition, Verbeke and Viaene (1999) found that one third of Belgian respondents showed an intention to decrease their total meat consumption in the year following the survey.…”
