Food safety is related to health and quality of life. Therefore, the social responsibility of the food industry to ensure food safety has received increasing attention. Influencing factors and mechanisms of participation in food safety certification are important issues in this field. Existing studies on factors affecting food safety certification mainly focus on the impact of a single or few factors. In this study, listed Chinese food companies were selected, and the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method was utilized to explore the matching mode of various factors to encourage companies to obtain food safety certification. The following results were obtained. (1) State-owned companies tend to achieve food safety certification. (2) Companies with high media attention are inclined to achieve food safety certification. (3) In state-owned companies, when the company size is small, a higher degree of food safety concern in the mission statement can encourage the company to achieve food safety certification, and when the company size is large, higher media attention can encourage the company to achieve food safety certification. (4) In non-state-owned companies, when food safety concerns are highlighted in the mission statement and media attention is relatively high, the company will gain food safety certification. This study provides new perspectives on food safety-related research and suggestions for government and the public sector to supervise food safety issues in enterprises.
食品安全与健康和生活质量息息相关。因此，食品行业确保食品安全的社会责任受到了越来越多的关注。参与食品安全认证的影响因素和机制是该领域的重要问题。现有关于影响食品安全认证因素的研究主要集中在单一或少数因素的影响上。在这项研究中，选择了上市的中国食品公司，并利用模糊集定性比较分析方法来探讨各种因素的匹配模式，以鼓励公司获得食品安全认证。得出以下结果。（1）国有企业更倾向于获得食品安全认证。（2）受到媒体高度关注的公司更倾向于获得食品安全认证。（3）在国有企业中，当公司规模较小时，使命陈述中更高的食品安全关注度可以鼓励公司获得食品安全认证，而当公司规模较大时，更高的媒体关注度可以鼓励公司获得食品安全认证。（4）在非国有企业中，当使命陈述中突出食品安全问题且媒体关注度较高时，公司将获得食品安全认证。本研究为食品安全相关研究提供了新的视角，并为政府和公共部门监督企业食品安全问题提供了建议。
