This study aims to identify all actors that hold some responsibility for ensuring food safety based on the complete food supply chain in the context of China's current circumstances.
The study was conducted among citizens in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China. All citizens fully understood the purpose of the study and voluntarily agreed to participate. From December 10 to 14, 2020, a total of 398 valid samples were collected by the researchers using a structured questionnaire. Survey data were assessed using best-worst scaling and a mixed logit model from the perspective of citizen responsibility.
In descending order, responsibility for ensuring food safety goes from food producers and traders (including producers, distributors, and retailers) to the government, social organizations, news media, and finally to citizens. Food producers and traders are the actors who should take the greatest responsibility, whereas citizens bear the least responsibility.
The responsibility of citizens in food safety co-governance should be recognized but it should not be arbitrarily extended.
本研究旨在根据中国当前国情下完整的食品供应链，确定所有对食品安全负有责任的相关方。
本研究在中国江苏省无锡市的市民中开展。所有市民均充分了解研究目的，并自愿参与。2020 年 12 月 10 日至 14 日，研究人员采用结构化问卷共收集了 398 份有效样本。从公民责任的角度出发，利用最佳最差标度法和混合 logit 模型对调查数据进行评估。
从确保食品安全的责任程度来看，依次为食品生产者和贸易商（包括生产者、分销商和零售商）、政府、社会组织、新闻媒体，最后是公民。食品生产者和贸易商应承担最大的责任，而公民则承担最小的责任。
应承认食品安全共同治理中公民的责任，但不应任意扩大。
