Objective:
To study the governance mechanism for food safety risk behavior of food enterprises in Beijing to effectively prevent and control the safety risks to consumers.
Methods:
The HFACS model was used to analyze the surveyed data of foodstuff enterprises.
Results:
A “one axis and four dimensions” management mechanism of food safety risk behaviors of food enterprises in Beijing was established. Taking these enterprises as the “axis” of the management mechanism, following environments were formed within the enterprises: a “responsibility identification and behavior self-discipline” spiritual environment, a “mechanism co-construction, self-inspection and mutual inspection” institutional environment, a “regular assessment and normal accountability” self-inspection environment, and an “integrity management and food security”. The safe humanistic environment is expected to give full play to the stable role of “government supervision as a leading role,” “Industry Association guidance as the hub,” “consumer supervision as the guide,” “media participation as the support” and “Four Party prevention and control” outside the enterprise to practice the food safety risk management in food industry.
Conclusion:
Food safety risk behavior is the direct cause of food safety risk. The prevention and control of food safety risk not only requires the creation of an environment to prevent slack behavior among the food enterprises but also needs the interactions between government, industry associations, the media and the consumers to jointly restrict the food safety risk behavior of the food industry as a whole.
