DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF FOOD SAFETY AWARENESS AMONG FOOD PROFESSIONALS: A CASE STUDY OF TURKEY AND NIGERIA
Öz
In this study,
284 food professionals including chefs and students of food science-related
courses were surveyed to determine their level of business regarding allergens
in foods and food safety in general were determined through questionnaire
survey. A questionnaire comprising of 19 questions covering specific food
safety issues and allergens in foods were used to collect information for the
study through face to face interviews. Interviews were conducted for 284 people
in Nigeria and Turkey. One
hundred and ninety-five (68.7 %) of the respondents were from Turkey whereas 89
(31.3 %) were from Nigeria. Out of the
68.7% respondents from Turkey; 68.7% were students and 31.3% were chefs. The
31.3 % respondents from Nigeria were 33.7% students and 66.3% chefs. The result of the study indicated that the
findings of scientific studies on food safety have not been directly applied by
the people working in the food sector. Additionally, the knowledge level of the
gastronomy and culinary arts students on food safety and allergens are higher
than the restaurant chefs that prepare foods for the consumers. The restaurant
as a significant part of the food chain industry must be well-prepared to face
an increasing number of clients with food allergies.
