Abstract

Basing on the milk, the main idea of this article is to analyze the food risk perception and its impact on the consumers’ purchasing in certificates of food quality based on the empirical evidences of consumers in Hangzhou. The empirical study reveals the four factors- social risk consciousness、acquaintance with the certificates of food quality、individuality、trust-effecting the food risk perception, and the characteristic of overestimating the objective risks of food which have an important impact on the purchasing. Because of asymmetric information and subjective risk perceptions, instead of preference to the brands, consumers tend to purchase milk with more certificates of food quality by consumption habits、trusts in certification authority and the acquaintance with the certificates of food quality. When there is a wild price gap,it may change the purchasing behaviors.
