减少由不当行为造成的食品风险需要重新理解食品企业的行为，并相应地设计适当的治理结构。在消费者保护方面，我们重点关注的问题是，在设计有效和具有成本效益的促进遵守食品质量和安全规则的“智能”监管制度时，需要考虑哪些行为驱动因素。这样做，我们将智能监管的概念与一般食品法的风险分析概念联系起来。虽然对具体的消费者保护政策的明智性进行系统比较超出了本文的范围，但我们简要讨论了披露政策，原因有二：首先，各国食品当局越来越多地使用点名羞辱计划。其次，从监管理论的角度来看，它们似乎是明智的消费者保护政策的有希望的候选人，因为食品市场充满了信息不对称。
The reduction of food risks that are caused by malpractice requires a reconstructing understanding of the context-dependent behaviours of food businesses and a corresponding design of adequate governance structures. Concerning ourselves with consumer protection, we focus on the question of which behavioural drivers need to be considered when designing “smart” regulatory regimes that effectively and cost-efficiently foster compliance with food quality and safety rules. Doing so, we link the concept of smart regulation with the concept of risk analysis according to General Food Law. While a systematic comparison of the smartness of concrete consumer protection policies is beyond the paper’s scope, we briefly discuss disclosure policies for two reasons: first, name-and-shame schemes are increasingly used by food authorities in various countries. Second, they seem to be promising candidates for smart consumer protection policies from a regulatory theory point of view as food markets are riddled with information asymmetries.
