Food safety risks were charted along the fish production chain from processing to consumption. Viewpoints taken in the project were
- chain management
- consumer behaviour
- industrial organisation
The significance of consumer behaviour was evaluated, and their notions about food safety were studied. In the course of the project, also food safety costs for the producer were evaluated.
