This research investigates food safety culture (FS-culture), a crucial component of food safety, by identifying its multifaceted effects and delineating future research directions.
A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted utilizing data from four eminent publishers: Elsevier/ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, SpringerLink and Taylor & Francis. An in-depth analysis of 60 articles obtained from 20 journals covering the years 2010–2024 was performed. An affinity diagram was systematically utilized to categorize the extensive collection of FS-culture effects and recommendations for future research into their respective thematic categories.
The identification of five themes concerning the effects of FS-culture, alongside four themes on future research, underscores the prioritization of FS-culture as a strategic element, thus establishing frameworks intended to guide subsequent research endeavours.
Limitations encompass a restricted scope of publishers, keywords and the subjective nature of theme classification.
To date, no SLR studies have been conducted concerning the effects of FS-culture and the recommendations for future research.
