Abstract
Proper food handling practices can help protect consumers from foodborne illness. This study assessed high school students' food safety knowledge and handling practices and evaluated the effectiveness of a new food safety curriculum based on the Positive Deviance model. In phase I, 114 high school students completed a food safety on-line questionnaire assessing their baseline food safety knowledge and food handling practices; in phase II, 53 high school students took a one session class and completed pre- and post-assessment and take-home tasks. The results showed that there is a critical need for an effective high school food safety curriculum. The curriculum increased students' knowledge significantly.
