Abstract

In recent years, china's social parties gave high attention to the issue of food safety; however, the food safety situation is not optimistic in colleges and universities. In this study, we test the factors that affect college students’ safety awareness and behavior in food consumption and conclude four main indicators as food safety attitude, consciousness of rights safeguarding, processing method and knowledge learning. The result shows that food safety attitude is the most important factor that effect college students’ safety awareness and behavior. According to the consciousness of rights safeguarding, most students will choose complaints to business or do not handle. Also, the processing method shows that most students will choose take some medicine or have a rest, instead of going to the hospital to check. So that, colleges should make full use of existing resources and conditions, then promote food safety.
