Abstract

With the heightened awareness of global public health issues, which has increasingly drawn attention to the topic of food safety, the integrity of food enterprises has emerged as a central focus in society.Previous research on corporate integrity in the food industry has largely been conducted from the perspectives of government and management. This paper attempts to construct a corporate integrity evaluation system from the consumer perspective, thereby addressing a gap in the current research landscape. In this study, we collected consumers' views on corporate integrity through a questionnaire survey and analyzed the data using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0. This paper ultimately constructs a corporate integrity evaluation system comprising four factors, six dimensions, and thirty-two indicators. Notably, a newly identified factor arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, termed "epidemic prevention integrity," clearly demonstrates its significant influence on corporate integrity.
