The unsafe, illegal, and unethical practices, especially food fraud, by various actors along the food supply chain are old problems that have been made even more challenging by today’s international agri-food network. To combat these practices, the internal reporting to upper management or the external disclosure to regulators or media by persons who become aware of such practices is essential. These persons are colloquially known as whistleblowers. However, a number of impediments to whistleblowing, especially retribution by employers, have limited their contribution to ensuring the safety and integrity of the food supply. This paper presents recent examples of whistleblowing and legislation adopted by countries around the world to encourage and protect whistleblowers, especially from retaliation. Several impediments to whistleblowing are described and suggestions for overcoming them are proposed.

举报人在保护食品供应安全和完整性方面的作用

食品供应链中各种行为者的不安全,非法和不道德行为,特别是食品欺诈,是古老的问题,如今的国际农业食品网络使这些问题变得更具挑战性。为了与这些行为作斗争,意识到这些行为的人员必须向内部高层报告内部情况,或者向监管者或媒体进行外部披露。这些人通常被称为举报人。但是,举报的许多障碍,尤其是雇主的报酬,限制了它们在确保食品供应安全和完整性方面的作用。本文介绍了举报行为的最新实例,以及世界各国通过的旨在鼓励和保护举报者(尤其是免受报复的行为)的立法。
