Developing a Framework for Understanding and Enhancing Consumers’ Safe Food Management Behaviors – A Literature Review

Abstract This study presents a framework to understand the complex relationships between consumer attributes, information, and their contexts of use, to enhance interventions for behavioral change in safe food management (SFM). Based on 70 selected research papers published between 2004 and 2018, the paper presents a review of relevant literature for enhancing consumer SFM behaviors, a conceptual framework synthesizing the literature, practical considerations for developing food safety information interventions, and knowledge gaps and areas of further investigation.
