Quality and food safety management (QFSM) presents significant concerns for developing countries worldwide. Researchers have not yet reached a consensus on the most complicated QFSM practices in the food industry. Our study aims to fill the research gap by visualising and analysing 537 articles on QFSM using Biblioshiny. Relevant publications from Dimensions, Scopus, and the Web of Science databases expose the current research status from 1982 to January 2024, without bias. We classified publications about Food Safety Management (FSM) and Food Quality Management (FQM) into four stages: the appearance stage (1982–1995), the stage towards increase (1996–2005), a rapid rise phase (2006–2014), and stable, rapid growth between 2015 and 2024. The review of QFSM recorded 5714 paper references and 1677 authors from 57 countries or regions. The most popular keywords are food quality, food industry, quality, and food safety management. China became the first in the group with 84 publications, while Belgium had the highest citations, with 738 total citations and 49.20 average article citations. The most productive institution is “Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,” while Food Control is the most locally cited source. This study is the first to analyse QFSM resilience using biblioshiny. It is necessary to continue studying the strength of the food industry supply chain related to QFSM. The report identifies critical areas for improvement and future research to assist governments and businesses in developing adaptable food supply networks.

As the global food processing sector becomes increasingly competitive and consumer expectations rise, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China are beginning to understand the need for excellent leadership in navigating these challenges and succeeding in the global marketplace. This study, which examines leadership's essential role in these SMEs' operational performance and the moderating and intervening effects of quality and safety cultures, is highly relevant to your field of expertise. The relationship between leadership, operational performance, and quality and safety cultures was examined using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. According to the study, leadership directly influences operational performance and significantly impacts the quality and safety cultures of the firms. Moreover, these cultural contexts have moderating and mediating effects on the connection between operational performance and leadership. These results highlight how crucial it is to have strong leadership and robust quality and safety cultures to promote exceptional operational performance in China's SMEs engaged in food processing.
