Abstract

This study sought to determine if no experience, basic experience, or well-informed experience (defined as basic experience and formal food safety training) in a foodservice operation would influence attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control toward three important behaviors that can help prevent foodborne illness (handwashing, using thermometers, and sanitizing work surfaces). Results suggest that formal training increases respondents' appreciation of the importance of these food safety practices. Those with formal food safety training identified more attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control constructs than participants with basic experience or no experience in foodservice. Factors that help and impede employees in following proper food safety practices were identified. Foodservice operators and sanitarians can utilize these results to employ strategies to address the barriers preventing employees from applying food safety practices and to increase compliance with food safety regulations during individual inspections within operations, respectively.

“In this regard, food handlers’ attitudes are significantly related to the management environment [31], thus supervisory support enforcement plays a significative role [85] in demonstrating and emphasizing the importance of following proper food safety practices [88], as well as being role models themselves [91].”

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.
