- Abstract
Local food products are important products for the Turkish economy with their contribution to the economies of the regions where they are produced, as well as the added value they create, their share in employment and exports. Parallel to the efforts to increase the added value in production, an increasing trend in the consumption of local foods continues at the global level and meanwhile in Turkey. The results of the literature research reveal that the factors affecting this tendency, although they have common denominators, can differ according to countries and even regions and provinces within the same country. As with other processed and unprocessed food products, the most important consumer expectation for local food production and consumption is food safety. The purpose of this research is to determine the factors affecting the food safety perception of consumers towards local foods for the province of İzmir. 151 consumer surveys were conducted by face-toface interview method in selected districts in accordance with the purpose of the research. Binary Logistic Regression Analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the food safety perception of consumers towards local foods. According to the results of the analysis, the three primary factors that positively affect the food safety perception of consumers towards local foods were determined as "less harmful to the environment", "freshness" and "geographic indication" of local foods.
