The
conscious society has begun to be more selective about food and the interest in
traditional food has increased. Ready to eat foods are sold even on traditional
food streets and food safety has been questioned. In the scope of the study,
food safety of the fried mussel consumed is investigated. This study aims to
evaluate food safety perceptions of fried mussel consumers through a survey
conducted in Sinop which is a province of Turkey. Data were collected through a
face-to-face survey and 234 respondents joined our research. Multiple
correspondence analysis methods were selected to find out the food safety
perception of customers.
As
a result of research, it was determined that of respondents under the age of 30
don’t have knowledge about food safety, but respondents over the age of 30 have
knowledge about food safety. Also, the respondents in the 45+ age group think
that fried mussel is healthy, while the 30-44 age group clearly think that they
are not healthy. Overall respondents have different views of different sea
products consumption, sales locations, hygienic conditions, and food safety.
This research has been supported by Sinop University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit.
