While consumers are targeted for interventions to address knowledge gaps about food safety and behaviors that can reduce risk, there are no comprehensive analyses of these interventions. It is critical to understand how interventions could be expanded to include relationships between consumers and other actors in the food system, as well as how targeted communication strategies could affect behavior. Focusing on risk perception and strategies that leverage emotion and trusted sources may be useful.
