Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, China’s food quality safety events occurred frequently, seriously affecting people’s life. This paper does an empirical study on the influencing factors of food quality safety by application of DEMATEL method. We find out the casual factors and resultant factors of food quality safety; confirm the main influencing factors, and clear the interpretive structure relationship of the influencing factors. The results of this study suggest that morality, laws, and technology are the main three factors which influence food quality safety; relevant government departments play a crucial role in food quality safety; customers have a limited affect on the food quality safety. We propose the countermeasures to perfect China’s food quality safety management from three aspects
