Abstract
Food-borne illnesses have a dramatic impact in both developing and developed countries. The health status of the food handlers, their personal hygiene, knowledge and practice of food hygiene play an important role in food contamination. The aim of this review is to study the impact of nutrition education interventions on knowledge attitude and practice of food hygiene and food safety habits of food handlers from various food service establishments. Two hundred and fourty eight food handlers were selected by simple random sampling method from various food service establishments were involved in the study. A pretest posttest experimental design was employed among randomly selected food handlers to study the impact of nutrition education intervention on food safety and hygiene knowledge attitude and practice of food handlers. Significant increase in the knowledge attitude and practice of food safety and hygiene among food handlers were observed after nutrition education. The study shows that nutrition education is the need of the hour which would help food handlers to imbibe food safety and hygiene knowledge attitude and practice to prevent transmission of food-borne pathogens to the public during food preparation.
