The paper presents and discusses the costs and cost structure of producing and processing food products with specific quality and safety attributes. Although the study included the pork, broiler and egg production chains in Denmark, we mainly present the results from the pork sector. For each supply chain the cost structure of a standardized product and two differentiated products were investigated. The data was gathered from Danish food companies and industry associations and analyzed using the accounting method. It is shown that the majority of the extra costs of producing specialized food products are incurred at the farm level, and that the additional safety and quality costs incurred by meat and poultry processing firms are small compared to total costs.
