Food preparations, especially those based on animal products, are often accused of being responsible for the increase in food-borne infections, contributing to increased pressure on healthcare systems. The risk assessment in agri-food supply chains is of utmost importance for the food industry and for policymakers. A wrong perception of risks may alter the functioning of supply chains; thus, efforts should be devoted to communicating risks in an efficient way. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how consumers perceive different food risks. Our analysis shows that planning effective communication strategies is very much important for efficiently informing consumers on food risks. We also comment on potential innovative ways to better organise the supply chains.
食品制剂，尤其是那些以动物产品为基础的制剂，常常被指责应对食源性感染的增加负责，这给医疗保健系统带来了更大压力。农业食品供应链中的风险评估对食品行业和政策制定者至关重要。对风险的错误认知可能会改变供应链的运作；因此，应致力于以有效的方式传达风险。我们采用多学科方法来研究消费者如何看待不同的食品风险。我们的分析表明，规划有效的沟通策略对于有效地向消费者通报食品风险非常重要。我们还评论了更好地组织供应链的潜在创新方法。
