Abstract: Abstract The cold chain management plays a strategic role for the quality of fresh food arriving to the consumers. This research describes the structure of fresh food cold chain logistics system and identifies the safety risk factors impacting to fresh food at every link of the cold chain, and then analyzes the fresh food safe risks from the cold chain logistics system using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) methodology, and considering the time-varying of the system. The methodology can find out the key risk factors and the weakest link in the fresh food cold chain logistics system so as to improve the performance of the cold chain system.
