Labeling food-safety attributes req

Labeling food-safety attributes requires some particular considerations. Food-safety attributes are
credence attributes that cannot be directly assessed by consumers. Therefore, firms that wish to credibly communicate the safety of their products must rely on third-party accreditation or government enforcement. The direct labeling of food-safety attributes, however, has proven difficult. Natural processes, governed by stochastic relationships, are involved in producing the final product, scientific uncertainties exist about cause-effect relationships, and safety attributes consequently are variable. Furthermore, the labeling of product attributes can be costly if expensive tests are necessary to confirm a food’s safety characteristics. Responding to these difficulties, firms and regulators have extended their labeling and product differentiation efforts to process attributes. Examples are the labeling of organic and GMO-free food.
A possible market solution to this problem of asymmetric information consists of investing in
product labeling. Brands and labels conveying quality information enable the market to provide consumers with the level of information they desire, thus transforming credence and experience attributes into search attributes. Given the severe market disruptions caused by food-safety incidences
and the increasing interest of food producers and retailers in food labeling, regulators have become
increasingly involved in setting the rules for labeling. Indeed, governments need to enforce labeling if consumers do not trust privately sponsored labels. Intervention may also be required when labeling is not in the firm’s interest and when a private solution to the signaling problem does not exist.
