鈥淭he Impacts of Animal and Foodborne Diseases
on Canadian Household Meat and Seafood Demand鈥�
This study is aimed at evaluating the impacts of information about animal and foodborne diseases (AFDs) on Canadian household meat purchasing behavior. Public concerns about food safety issues have been rising worldwide in recent years, possibly because of increases in food contamination and associated deaths. Major foodborne diseases related to meat are Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella and Listeria. Other perceived food safety incidents related to meat such as animal diseases, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and swine flu, have also been seen in recent years.
