Abstract

This research was aimed to analyze the food safety knowledge levels between gastronomy and culinary arts students and food workers in the Çukurova Region of Turkey. A total of 155 participants (80 students, 75 food workers) have participated in this cross-sectional study. The overall knowledge scores of food workers and the students were 89.33% and 78.89% respectively, and food workers have more scores in all sections (p<0.001). Hygiene certification, occupation, and working establishments had a significant association with total food safety scores; however, gender, marital status, age, education level, frequency of hygiene education, working experience, monthly income had no significant association with their scores (p>0.05). A positive correlation was found between gender, education status, hygiene certification, and frequency of receiving hygiene education; but no correlation was found between working in any food business, graduated high schools, and age of the students (p>0.05). More knowledge gaps of both groups have been found about time-temperature control, holding/storage temperature, and cross-contamination. Finally, it is important to measure the reflection of the hygiene training on practices and to make it regular in ensuring food safety.
