From the point of view of the information search, taking the residents of Wuhan for example as the positive study, the paper makes theoretical analysis on some relevant problems.The main contents of the study are composed of the following parts:The first part is the introduction, which illustrates the background, the purpose, the significance and the research approach of the study, and briefly states the theoretical foundation and the definition of basic conceptions of the study. The basic consideration and method as well as the innovation of the study are also proposed in this part.The second part introduces the relevant literature summary. In this part, the origin of the study has been emphatically reviewed: the failure analysis of market in the market of food safety. The stands of this study are as follows: the study on the consumers' behavior about food safety; the relevant theories of risk cognition; the theory of consumer information search and its application in the field of food safety.
