DESCRIPTION:"Risk associated with compromising of food product safety have
  traditionally been associated with ‘harm to health’\, however ‘harm
  to emotion or beliefs’ has emerged as another dimension with the recent
  UK’s horsemeat scandal. Ensuring food product safety is one of the impo
 rtant industrial challenges\, particularly when products are sourced from 
 extended international supply chains involving a complex network of actors
 . Furthermore\, in extended food supply chains involving production activi
 ties in developing countries\, the understanding of risk mitigation practi
 ces is not well understood. In this paper we aim to investigate food safet
 y risk and mitigation practices followed by food manufacturers based in de
 veloping countries and involved in a cross border supply. The study builds
  on Roth et al (2008) ‘Six Ts’ framework for food quality management a
 nd integrates it with Srai and Gregory (2008) ‘supply network configurat
 ion’ approach to understand a set of food safety risk mitigation practic
 es in cross border supply chains. The ‘Six Ts’ framework\, developed t
 o promote food quality management in supply chains based in developing cou
 ntries\, is applied across a set of supply network configuration dimension
 s to explore risks in structure\, process flow dynamics\, and governance. 
  The research provides a novel analytical approach to evaluate food safety
  risk and vulnerabilities emerging from the configuration of global food s
 upply chains\, and developing a broader set of mitigation practices."\n
