Abstract
With the development of the biotechnology, more and more GM foods
enter the food chain of the mankind. What are the consumers’ attitudes toward those
foods? And what are their requirements for safety management derived from the
emerging of those foods? By conducting a survey in Wuhan with a sample of 621
correspondents, the study collects the correspondents’ attitudes on GM foods and
expectations on safety managements for those foods, and analyses impacts of
consumers’ general preferences, specific perceptions on GM foods, and the special
labeling usage behavior both on the attitudes formation in GM labeling and on the
labeling choices using MNL models. The paper further proposes some suggestions in
GM foods safety management based on the modeling results.
