Abstract

This study aimed to measure the food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices among food vendors engaged in Nigeria’s ongoing Home-grown School Feeding Program. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in face-to-face interviews with 240 food vendors from 3 states in northeast Nigeria involved in the school feeding program using a structured questionnaire. Multiple linear regression results revealed that increased education and access to information through radio, television, and food inspection institutions increased food safety knowledge. Food safety attitudes score increased with more years of vending experience and accessing food safety information via radio, food inspection institutions, and the Internet. An increase in household size and food safety information from friends and colleagues negatively affected food safety attitude scores. As a result, we emphasize the need for dissemination of improved food safety information via radio, television and food safety inspection institutes. Food vendors in the SFP should be selected after passing a food safety training and gaining food handling experience. Higher education should be a priority criterion in the hiring process.

参与尼日利亚学校供餐计划的食品供应商的食品安全知识、态度和做法
本研究旨在测量参与尼日利亚正在进行的 "本土学校供餐计划 "的食品摊贩的食品安全知识、态度和做法。研究采用结构化问卷对尼日利亚东北部 3 个州参与学校供餐计划的 240 名食品摊贩进行了面对面访谈。多元线性回归结果显示,教育程度的提高以及通过广播、电视和食品检验机构获取信息的机会增加了食品安全知识。食品安全态度得分随着售货经验年限的增加以及通过广播、食品检验机构和互联网获取食品安全信息而增加。家庭人口的增加以及从朋友和同事那里获得的食品安全信息对食品安全态度的得分有负面影响。因此,我们强调有必要通过广播、电视和食品安全检验机构传播更好的食品安全信息。应在通过食品安全培训并获得食品处理经验后,选择食品安全计划署中的食品摊贩。在招聘过程中,应优先考虑高等教育水平。
