Consumer knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) are central to achieving safe food handling and reducing foodborne diseases.
“Therefore, safe food handling and hygiene behaviours at the household level are essential in reducing foodborne diseases [32], with consumer knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) being central to achieving this goal [6,29,33,34].”

Reviews conducted in Nigeria and Ethiopia found that while the majority of included studies reported good levels of food safety knowledge among consumers, most also documented persistently poor food safety practices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
