This study assessed and compared the food safety knowledge and attitudes of hospitality and dietetics students. A total of 177 hospitality and dietetics senior-level students from 12 randomly selected universities completed and returned questionnaires including knowledge and attitude questions. Chi-square analysis was used to compare the responses of students on discreet variables. Independent t tests were used to compare student responses on the food safety attitude statements. The internal consistency of an attitude and knowledge scales were tested using Cronbach alpha. Over 90% of the students reported having taken a course that included food safety information, although significantly more of the hospitality students were certified in food safety. Overall, the mean number of questions correctly answered was similar for the dietetics and hospitality students. The dietetic students had a significantly higher level of food safety concern on an attitude scale.
