Food safety is a topic of great societal relevance because it affects food production, trade of food products, and consumer health. Ongoing discourses on adequate food safety levels prove that it is a complex task to define what is “safe food”. In four studies, this dissertation analyzes different evidence practices from consumers and risk analysis and their interactions. Results contribute to the understanding of what is societally accepted knowledge for food safety and how it is constructed by different actors.
