“…The structure was based on the questions concerning whether Background affects Knowledge, whether Knowledge affects Behaviour and Attitude, and whether Attitude affects Behaviour. Although modified in the present study, the structure has been confirmed to be valid in previous studies [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The model in Figure 1 was verified by a goodness of fit hypothesis test following the cut-off values prescribed by Hair et al [ 19 ], the results of which can be seen in Table 5 .…”

“…However, the results from their analysis showed that there was a positive relationship between knowledge and attitude, as well as between attitude and behaviour. Furthermore, Sanlier and Baser [ 17 ] examined the relationships between food safety knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behaviours using SEM. In a survey targeting 1219 young women, the mediating role of attitude was demonstrated.…”

“…In a survey targeting 1219 young women, the mediating role of attitude was demonstrated. Results from that path analysis did not show any strong causal relationship between food safety knowledge and behaviour, while the results indicated a full mediation of the effect of knowledge on behaviour by attitude [ 17 ].…”

“…This may have implications for the development of food safety education. International investigations using SEM have investigated the relationship between food safety knowledge, attitude, and behavior [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. However, the novelty of this current investigation, as far as the authors are aware, is that there has not been an SEM analysis of food safety data which included the Background factor.…”

Traditionally, food safety knowledge has been seen as a factor in improving food safety behaviour. However, the relationship between knowledge and behavior is complex. The aim of the present study was to investigate self-reported data from 408 university students regarding food safety background, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour using Structural Equation Model (SEM) to examine the influence of different factors on food safety behaviour. The SEM was applied to four factors derived from the data: Background, Knowledge, Attitude and Behaviour. The novelty of this current investigation is the inclusion of the Background factor (genus; experience of cooking and handling different food items; experience of a food safety education course; the foremost sources of food safety knowledge). The factors were constructed from variables with sufficient factor loadings and set up in a predetermined structure confirmed to be valid in previous studies. The results, demonstrated as regression coefficients between factors, confirm that the Background factor strongly influenced Knowledge (0.842). The Knowledge factor, in turn, strongly affected Attitude (0.605), while it did not directly affect Behaviour (0.301) in the same way as Attitude. Attitude had a stronger influence on Behaviour (0.438) than Knowledge. Thus, the Attitude factor seemed to play a mediating role between Knowledge and Behaviour. This indicates that students´ attitudes towards the importance of food safety may have an impact on their food safety behavior, which should have implications for the development of food safety education. This warrants further investigation and practical development.

“…Our finding that there exist mediation effects in the spillover of food safety risk to consumer markets, is roughly consistent with Yu, Sirsat, and Neal [61] suggesting that job satisfaction and self-efficacy completely mediate the impact of food safety training on food safety whistle-blowing; and roughly consistent with Sanlier and Baser [62] maintaining that food safety attitude mediates the impact of food safety knowledge on food safety behavior.…”

Food Safety Incident, Public Health Concern, and Risk Spillover Heterogeneity: Avian Influenza Shocks as Natural Experiments in China’s Consumer Markets

Background: Food safety incidents have aroused widespread public health concern, causing food price risk. However, the causal paths remain largely unexplored in previous literature. This paper sets out to identify the relations of local and spatial spillovers of food safety incidents and public health concerns to food price risk in consumer markets within a setting with heterogeneous food safety risk levels. Methods: (i) Theoretically, unlike prior work, this paper decomposes food safety risks into food safety incidents (objective incident component) and public health concern (subjective concern component). This article develops a theoretical framework of causality to capture the underlying causal pathways motivated by the theories of limited attention and two-step flow of communication. (ii) Empirically, using avian influenza shocks in China’s poultry markets as natural experiments, this paper differentiates between low- and high-risk food and incidents. The article adopts dynamic spatial panel models to analyze potential nonlinearity, moderation, and mediation in the spillover of food safety risk to food price risk for a long panel of 30 provinces covering the November 2007 to November 2017 period. Results: (i) Food safety incident alone only triggers high-risk food price risk, not low-risk food price risk. (ii) Public health concern amplifies nonlinear food price risk triggered by food safety incident. (iii) High-risk incident intensifies negative pressure of public health concern on food price risk. (iv) Food safety incident indirectly affects high-risk food price risk through public health concern. Conclusions: Using a setting with heterogeneous risk levels, this paper documents that (i) food safety incident itself does not necessarily determine food price risk, whereas it is actually public health concern that directly causes nonlinear food price risk; (ii) public health concern spillover to food price risk is negatively moderated by high-risk incident, and (iii) food safety incident spillover to high-risk food price risk is mediated by public health concern. The findings complement current research by (i) elucidating the diverse impacts of food safety incident and public health concern on food price risk, which are obscure in previous literature, and (ii) highlighting that heterogeneous food and incident risk levels matter for determining food price risk spillover.

In recent years, consumer awareness of food safety has been increasing, and food workers with professional food safety knowledge, attitude, and practical implementation are essential for maintaining the quality of food as well as preventing foodborne diseases. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude, and implementation of food safety practices among employees in a food company in Taiwan. The employees were both who had received food safety knowledge and training and had yet to receive it. Data collection was carried out through 68 questionnaires, and analysis methods, including descriptive statistical analysis and multiple regression analysis, have performed. Before the first stage of education and training, 100% of the employees knew that food factories must conduct regular water quality testing. Still, the error rate for personal hygiene and safety was the highest. The second part has the highest average food safety attitude and the concept of food preservation. The third part of personnel behavior was to avoid crosscontamination. After the second stage of education and training of personnel in food safety knowledge, the attitude and behavior have been greatly improved. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for food suppliers to develop employee education and training.
