Research Status and Development of Food Safety Based on Social Network.

This study aimed to screen periodical studies in the CNKI database from 2003 to 2019 and draw visualization maps using UCINET, NetDraw, and CiteSpace software to analyze the research hotspots, cohesive subgroups, and network structure characteristics to accurately examine the research status and development trend of food safety behavior in China’s food enterprises. The study revealed that the research on food safety behavior of the food enterprises in China mainly centered on seven parameters, including “traceability management,” “cause of behavior formation,” and “government supervision.” It showed the characteristics of a concentrated focus, diversified behavior subjects, unsystematic external measures, little summary and research, and unclear interest coordination. The study trend was toward the kernelization of actors, the concretization of behavior objects, and the diversification of behavioral governance. Therefore, the emphasis was placed on strengthening the extent of research on internal management and external environment optimization of enterprises, further studying the science and technology of the food industry, and promoting the realization of social co-governance, thus promoting the research.
