چکیده
Public and industry concerns over food safety have grown considerably over the last decade. Food safety has traditionally been viewed as a “cost of business” (Littlefield, 2006) and, as a result, perceived and positioned as the voluntary responsibility of companies. However, this perception is changing as stricter legislation and industry standards are entered into force and require that companies not only adopt a strategy of minimal compliance, but also treat such strategy as a catalyst for better business practices.
