Abstract

As vulnerable consumers, healthy infants have been highly concerned. In order to make a research on risk perception for infants food safety in Bengbu Anhui province, we first conduct a questionnaire on status about parents risk perception levels for infants food safety in kindergartens in Bengbu urban district and its three administrative counties. By making the parents mark the factors when they purchase their infants food through the Likert Scale, we conclude that there are five crucial factors of genetically modified food, expired food, counterfeit food, pesticide residue and food additives. Meanwhile, this research also concerns about the parents demands for the information about food safety and government’s attitude towards supervision efficiency to infant food, some relevant results are arrived at and proposals are contributed as well.
