Consumers' Dependency on Media for Information about Food Safety Incidents Related to the Beef Industry
Abstract: Consumers‘ Dependency on Media for Information about Food Safety Incidents Related to the Beef Industry. (August 2011) Ashley Dawn Charanza, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Traci L. Naile Food safety has become an important topic in today‘s mainstream media. Food safety incidents, specifically related to the beef industry, have the potential to damage the beef industry severely, and negative coverage in the media can alter consumers‘ perceptions and attitudes toward the beef industry. This study examined consumers‘ media dependency during normal times when a food safety incident is not occurring or is not expected to occur and during times of a potential food safety incident. This study also compared rural, urban, and suburban respondents‘ media dependencies and described consumer perceptions of the beef industry. The target population was Texas A&M University former students registered with a valid email address in a database maintained by The Association of Former Students.

Respondents reported using more media during normal times than during a potential food safety incident. There was a level of concern among respondents toward aspects of the beef industry, such as use of antibiotics and growth
