To address the inconsistency in risk prioritization results caused by heterogeneous information and subjective weighting in traditional Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), this study proposes a risk priority assessment method based on a heterog...

Organic food consumption has attracted increasing attention as consumers become more concerned about health, sustainability, product quality, and the reliability of food information. However, positive attitudes toward organic food do not necessarily...

Food safety can be regarded as a critical aspect of consumer protection, and there is a clear need for related research within the context of food delivery apps. In addition, food safety is a multidimensional concept, and its definition may vary depe...

Classical reliability assessment methods have predominantly focused on probability and statistical theories, which are insufficient in assessing the operational reliability of individual mechanical equipment with time-varying characteristics. A new a...

Although the adverse effects of trans fat consumption are well documented, industrially-produced trans fats are still used in a variety of food products. Our objective was to investigate the presence of trans fat information on the nutrition facts pa...

The increasingly severe issue of pesticide packaging waste (PPW) pollution poses a significant threat to human health and sustainable agricultural development. Encouraging farmers to recycle PPW is critical to addressing the “tragedy of the com...
