Examining the effectiveness of behaviour change techniques for improving safe egg handling behaviours: A randomised prospective experimental study

Jessica Charlesworth et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if behavior change techniques are effective in improving safe egg handling behaviors among consumers. The results showed that behavior change techniques were effective in improving knowledge and certain psychological constructs, but were not more effective in improving behavior compared to watching a video or mere participation in the study.

Examining the long-term effects of a safe food-handling media campaign

Jessica Charlesworth et al.

Summary: In Australia, the 'Play it Food Safe' campaign was tested for its effectiveness in improving safe food-handling behavior among consumers. Although some psychological constructs improved over time and knowledge was higher among participants who saw the campaign, behavior remained unchanged. These findings suggest that while the campaign may be effective for increasing knowledge and improving some psychological constructs long-term, further development is needed to impact behavior.

Evaluating the effectiveness of two behaviour change techniques designed to improve safe food-handling among consumers

Jessica Charlesworth et al.

Summary: This study aims to determine if habit and risk-based behaviour change techniques can improve the effectiveness of safe food-handling media campaign materials. Significant increases in habit, perceived risk, and behaviour were found among all participants over the study period. However, there were no significant differences in these changes between participants who completed either task for the majority of the target behaviors and related constructs, suggesting that both habit and risk-based behavior change techniques may help improve campaign materials.

Exploring the role of perceived risk and habit in safe food-handling behaviour change

Jessica Charlesworth et al.

Summary: The incidence of food poisoning remains high in Australia, particularly in Queensland and Western Australia. A safe food-handling media campaign in Busselton, Western Australia led to improvements in half of the targeted safe food-handling behaviors, but did not increase safe food-handling knowledge. Perceived risk and habit were found to play important roles in safe food-handling behavior change.

Behavioral predictors of household food-safety practices during the COVID-19 pandemic: Extending the theory of planned behavior

Raisa Moreira Dardaque Mucinhato et al.

Summary: This study examined predictors of food-mishandling behavior in households during the COVID-19 pandemic using the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB). The results showed that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms positively influenced the intention to implement safe food-handling practices, with stronger effects observed for attitude and perceived behavioral control. Despite food-safety knowledge not directly impacting intention, it had a positive effect on other TPB factors, along with perceived risk. These findings suggest that public-health crises can lead to changes in consumer behavior related to food safety.

Consumers' Knowledge and Handling Practices Associated with Fresh-Cut Produce in the United States

Heyao Yu et al.

Summary: Previous studies have identified three factors that influence the safety of fresh-cut produce from farm to fork: post-harvest practices in processing facilities, employees' handling practices in retail facilities, and consumers' handling practices in domestic kitchens or cooking facilities. However, there is limited research on consumers' food safety knowledge, risk perceptions, and handling practices related to fresh-cut produce. To address this gap, a nationwide survey was conducted to assess U.S. consumers' knowledge, practices, and risk perception regarding fresh-cut produce, as well as to investigate factors influencing consumers' food safety practices. The results revealed that consumers lack knowledge and safe handling practices for storage, surface cleaning and sanitizing, and time and temperature control of fresh-cut produce. Male and millennial consumers exhibited lower levels of safe handling practices. Additionally, there was a significant interaction between food safety knowledge and risk perception, indicating that high levels of risk perception can facilitate the transfer of food safety knowledge into practice. These findings can inform the development of targeted consumer food safety education tools.

Determinants of food preparation and hygiene practices among caregivers of children under two in Western Kenya: a formative research study

Emily A. Ogutu et al.

Summary: Food preparation and hygiene practices are influenced by various factors and barriers, including lack of psychological capability, resources, and opportunities, as well as competing priorities, socio-cultural norms, religion, and time constraints. Understanding these barriers can inform interventions to improve food hygiene.

Improving safe food-handling practices by increasing self-efficacy

Denise van Rijen et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing knowledge and selfefficacy can improve food safety behavior in young adults; the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior compared to the control group; the intervention successfully enhanced the impact of educational materials and the increase in self-efficacy also contributed to improvements in behavior in unrelated topics.

Evaluating the impact of a pilot safe food-handling media campaign among consumers in Western Australia: Implications for public health messaging

Jessica Charlesworth et al.

Summary: The study found that a pilot safe food-handling media campaign had an impact on consumer engagement in safe food-handling behaviors, but the effect on knowledge was not as expected. Preventing foodborne illness requires simple household behaviors and improving public awareness and practices related to safe food-handling is essential for future public health messages.

Consumer knowledge, risk perception and food-handling behaviors - A national survey in China

Mingliang Wang et al.

Summary: Foodborne diseases pose a threat to human health and food industries globally, with improper food-handling behaviors playing a key role. A national survey in China found that consumers have a 54% correct rate of food-handling knowledge, with only 14% always implementing normative leftover processing and 11% for raw meat thawing. Knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and perceived severity were positively related to normative food-handling behaviors, with perceived severity having the lowest correlation with both leftover processing and raw meat thawing. Significant differences were found in knowledge, risk perception, and normative behaviors between different demographic groups.

Food Safety Knowledge and Practices of Pregnant Women and Postpartum Mothers in Slovenia

Mojca Jevsnik et al.

Summary: The study in Slovenia found that pregnant women and postpartum mothers generally have good knowledge and practices of food safety, especially in basic food handling. However, there are still microbial risks in the home environment that need to be addressed with further education and guidance. Pregnant women and postpartum mothers performed significantly better in food safety practices than the nonpregnant group.
