Food risk facing consumers

Didier Torny

INRAE Sciences Sociales, 2005, vol. 2005, 4

Abstract: In the current context of health crises, many economic and social sciences studies have tried to describe and analyse consumer behaviour related to food risk. These studies share two premises: they consider the act of consuming as an individual behaviour and credit consumers with “risk perceptions” which direct their choice. A criticism of both axioms leads us to the question of the specificity of food risk and its political and social dimensions.
