Independent assessment by third-party certification bodies

Independent, third-party, involvement can make a significant contribution towards achievement of improved food safety, and food law compliance. Accredited certification organisations, with wide experience and expertise, such as NSF international, are increasingly supporting food industry and regulators by providing alternative, cost-effective services. The key is true independence: Consultants cannot certify, and an effective “due diligence” defence can be based on a certificate of compliance from an organisation without a conflict of interest in consultancy services. Regulators, too, are increasingly turning for help to accredited third-party organisations to achieve their objectives.     

The reliability of third-party certification in the food chain: From checklists to risk-oriented auditing

In recent years, certification has become increasingly relevant for agribusiness. In Europe, substantial parts of the value chain are already being certified by standards such as the International Food Standard (IFS) or GLOBALGAP (the former EurepGap). It is not known, however, whether these approaches can de facto ensure high quality control. This article is based on a database analysis of the German certification system Quality and Safety (QS) and a workshop with the QS-certification bodies conducting 85% of all agricultural audits. It seeks to deduce the first empirical hypotheses concerned with the connection between the reliability of third-party certification and the institutional framing of standards.     

Consumers’ familiarity with and attitudes towards food quality certifications for rice and vegetables in Vietnam

This study investigates consumers’ attitudes towards, and familiarity with, food quality certification in selected urban areas in the South of Vietnam. Cross-sectional data were collected by means of a consumer survey (n = 500). Consumers’ awareness of food quality-related terms was relatively low. Less than half the participants claimed to understand the meaning of good agricultural practices (GAP), organic food and sustainability. Consumers’ familiarity with food quality certification (Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP), Global Good Agricultural Practices (GLOBALG.A.P.), organic, and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)) was also low. Familiarity with food quality certification was positively associated with general attitude and food choice motives, namely food safety concern, perceived importance of healthy eating, and perceived importance of environmental consequences relating to food purchase. Food safety concern and perceived importance of environmental consequences were positively associated with consumers’ attitudes towards safe vegetables, as well as high quality rice. Perceived importance of healthy eating was positively related to attitude towards high quality rice. Findings suggest that food safety aspects of safe vegetables and high quality rice should be emphasized during policy and marketing activities for food quality certification. Additionally, an increase in the perceived importance of environmental consequences relating to quality food purchase should be encouraged to enhance positive consumer attitudes towards quality food. Efforts to improve public awareness and knowledge of food quality certification and sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries such as Vietnam are highly recommended.     

Some characteristics of certification of petroleum products by petroleum product supply organizations

Under the new rules approved by the Russian State Standards Committee, beginning in 1999, petroleum product supply organizations (PPSO) must obligatorily certify products delivered in bulk, i.e., they must provide their own certificates in addition to the supplier’s (manufacturer’s) certificate. However, the mature structure of the enterprises and large number of brands of petroleum products which they tranship raises certain organizational problems in certification related to the high material costs for the applicant.

Willingness-to-pay price premiums for certified fruits —A case of fresh apples in China

Food safety certification has increasingly received much attention by Chinese consumers since the melamine milk crisis. The paper aims to determine consumers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) a price premium for fruit quality certification, and outreach strategy to monitor fresh fruit regulations. 504 fresh apple consumers in four cities located in different parts of China were interviewed face-to-face by a structured questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to reduce and summarize information on fruit attributes variables. Probit regression model was employed to identify critical determinants of consumers' WTP for certified fruits. Gender, education background and monthly income were the positive deciding factors for consumers WTP a premium for certified fruits. Better knowledge and higher confidence in certified fruits would foster consumers' WTP. Fruit quality and purchase convenience were also important factors being considered by consumers.

Agriculture and food quality and safety certification agencies in four Chinese cities

Investigations of certification agencies were conducted in four Chinese cities: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Qingdao. Based on an analysis of the data and information obtained, the status and character of agro-food certification in China were assessed. The main obstacle for development of agro-food certification was identified as the lack of market acceptance for it. In conclusion, the paper provides some suggestions for improving agro-food certification in China.     

Consumer preferences and willingness to pay for beef food safety assurance labels in the Kumasi Metropolis and Sunyani Municipality of Ghana

The demand surge for assured food safety and quality in livestock products among consumers in developing countries in particular has been phenomenal. The present paper examines consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for beef food safety assurance labels in the Kumasi Metropolis and Sunyani Municipality of Ghana. Consumers' in both Kumasi and Sunyani mainly rely on beef attributes which assures them of their safety. Key attributes include hygienic condition of the shopping environment, excellent and attractive packaging that minimizes contamination, leanness and certification of beef products for safety and quality. Therefore, guaranteed food safety information and attributes should emerge as a new index and basis for future trade in the beef industry. Preference heterogeneity exists among consumers in Kumasi Metropolis and Sunyani Municipality for verified animal health status, food safety inspection and certification and nutritional label. Hence, it is important for beef investors, government and NGO's to segment consumers into different classes when designing strategies to mitigate unsafe beef production, marketing and consumption. Higher willingness to pay exists for verified animal health stamp in both Kumasi and Sunyani compared to assured nutritional label, food and drugs board food safety certification license. Willingness to pay estimates in Kumasi were higher for assured nutritional label, food and drugs board food safety certification license compared to Sunyani. Consumer preferences for food safety inspection and certification, and nutritional label are explained by age, income and education in Sunyani Municipality whereas preferences for verified animal health status, food safety inspection and certification, and nutritional label are influenced by age, income, education and gender in Kumasi Metropolis. Albeit the impact of gender and age are negative for verified animal health status and food safety certification license in both locations. Therefore, the use of selective demographic targeting to maintain or build strong food safety and quality measures should be seen as a reality by policy makers and investors in the beef industry. Minimizing microbial, chemical and physical food contamination and incidents of food safety in Kumasi and Sunyani requires adoption of strict certification and inspections starting from the health status of animals to be slaughtered to the final product with proper labeling information for consumers, combined with strict sanitary inspections at the shopping or selling place. Also, sensitization of women on food safety practices, handling and violation of food safety is very essential in Kumasi and Sunyani.
