            Abstract : 
Under the deterioration of food safety environment of food suppliers and the uncertainty of food safety of the purchased food by individual manufacturer, this study aims to establish a mathematical model standard basis as a reference for decision evaluation on the optimal order quantity of food raw materials to satisfy the maximum expected returns, according to the food safety situations and market acceptance (optimistic/normal/pessimistic), thus affecting procurement costs and selling prices.
