Unlocking food security: the power of labelling in consumer trust and safety
Abstract
Food safety and food security are critical to public health, economic stability, and national security. This study explores the role of food labelling in strengthening food safety by enhancing consumer trust. To investigate this relationship, we conducted a literature review, selecting studies based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review focused on peer-reviewed studies published in English between 2014 and 2024 that investigated the association between food labelling and food safety and security. Improved food labelling can ensure that consumers have access to reliable and accurate product information, thereby mitigating food insecurity. In addition, the adoption of digital food labelling systems and certification mechanisms can improve food safety outcomes and enhance consumer trust.
