SIGNIFICANCE: Food safety culture (FSC) has emerged as a pivotal food safety determinant, with added benefits to broader organisational culture and overall performance. In recent years, FSC has been incorporated into a number of global standards and has moved stakeholders to engage with the implementation and conformance protocols. With the evolution of FSC, the realisation emerged that it encompasses multiple interdisciplinary concepts that introduce new best-practice requirements in risk mitigation, the validity and reliability of assessments, and the effectiveness of interventions. In addition to the extensive standards in the public domain that respond to, and guide, FSC components, this Perspective aims to provide additional context and contribute to the body of knowledge regarding FSC. The information should benefit industry in particular, by providing food for thought and practical solutions and advancing continuous improvement through empowerment and capacity.
