The food safety management evaluation problem owns many evaluation indices and some of the indices are quality indices. Then with the complexity and uncertainty of quality indices and the ambiguity of human thinking, the crisp number cannot work well in food safety management evaluation problem. Interval numbers can well depict the uncertainty and fuzzy information. Thus for the food safety management evaluation problem, we build a Multi-Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) model and then we develop a fuzzy TOPSIS method for the food safety management evaluation. An application example shows that the proposed model is reasonable and efficient and can be easily extended to the applications of similar decision problems.
