Key interdisciplinary aspects of food safety incidents

Author(s)	Food safety incident aspects	Description
FSA (2017); Gizaw (2019); Lin (2010)	Health risks	May have negative health consequences due to physical, chemical or microbiological hazard
	Political risks	May affect political sensitivity on (inter)national level
	Business risks	May cause financial and reputational damage in short term and long term
Charlier and Valceschini (2008);EFSA (2022); Wilson et al. (2016)	Compliance aspects	Legislation plays an important role in the response to an incident
Adeseun et al. (2018); Assefa et al. (2017); Auler et al. (2017); Jose and Shanmugam (2020); Manning and Soon (2016); Soon et al. (2020); Song et al. (2020); Trienekens et al. (2012)	Interdependency	Actors involved may be dependent on other food supply chain actors in their response
	Parties involved	May involve multiple food actors such as producers, retailers and logistic service providers
	Supply chain stage	Incidents can occur at any stage in the food supply chain, whether more upstream or more downstream
Assefa et al. (2017); Zhang et al. (2014); Diabat et al. (2012); FAO & WHO (2022); Hamer et al. (2014); Song et al. (2020); Soon et al. (2020); Verbeke et al. (2007)	Scale impact	May affect wide geographical areas and large population groups
	Time pressure	Time is critical for the response to health risks, and there is time pressure for quick decision-making and action
	Response action	An incident requires some form of action by food supply chain actors
	Level of uncertainty	The level of uncertainty can vary from rather low to high depending on the nature of the incident, which is often unpredicted and unprecedented
