Abstract Studies investigating food safety risk perception (FSRP) have substantially increased in recent years, particularly because of recent cases of food contamination. Most studies analysed the effects of FSRP antecedents and their consequences but reported heterogeneous effects. To consolidate these results and provide a more robust and parsimonious picture of FSRP, we conducted a meta-analysis of 128 empirical studies that investigated the key drivers and outcomes of FRSP and potential moderator variables. Our findings reveal the key drivers (trust, knowledge, subjective characteristics, and socio-demographic characteristics) of FSRP and a robust negative consequent effect on the willingness to buy (WTB). Also, we reveal the moderation role of the food origin, risk type, healthiness, shelf life and pleasure in the consequent effect. Our results contribute to the growing literature related to FSRP by consolidating previous results and help establish a foundation for further advancement in this topic. More importantly, our findings provide a more comprehensive picture of the FSRP phenomenon to help in the design of guidelines and rules that shape supplier behaviour to enhance food safety along the food supply chain.

食品安全风险认知的元分析回顾

摘要 近年来，调查食品安全风险感知 (FSRP) 的研究大幅增加，特别是因为最近的食品污染案例。大多数研究分析了 FSRP 前因及其后果的影响，但报告了异质效应。为了巩固这些结果并提供更稳健和简洁的 FSRP 图，我们对 128 项实证研究进行了荟萃分析，这些研究调查了 FRSP 和潜在调节变量的关键驱动因素和结果。我们的研究结果揭示了 FSRP 的关键驱动因素（信任、知识、主观特征和社会人口特征）以及对购买意愿 (WTB) 的强烈负面影响。此外，我们还揭示了食物来源、风险类型、健康、保质期和愉悦度在随之而来的影响中的调节作用。我们的结果通过巩固以前的结果，为与 FSRP 相关的不断增长的文献做出了贡献，并有助于为该主题的进一步发展奠定基础。更重要的是，我们的研究结果提供了更全面的 FSRP 现象图景，有助于设计指导方针和规则，塑造供应商行为，以提高食品供应链中的食品安全。
