Abstract: Lack of consumer trust in governmental food safety regulators hinders the promotion of consumer confidence in the safety of their food supply. One possible way to boost consumer trust is to allow nongovernmental agencies to participate in monitoring and enforcing food safety regulations. This study identifies factors affecting consumer desire for the participation of nongovernmental agencies. The information obtained from this study can be used in further valuation of the feasibility of the participation of nongovernmental agencies.
