Are food delivery workers a food safety risk? An evaluation using the Integrated Food Safety Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices model
Restaurant food delivery is increasing, bringing more food handlers into the supply chain as food delivery workers (FDWs). These new actors may potentially perpetuate the transmission of foodborne illness. This study evaluated FDWs' food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices (FS-KAPs) and analyzed how perceived self-efficacy and job involvement influenced FS-KAP relationships. The study included three phases: (1) FS-KAP scale development; (2) exploratory factor analysis to determine and validate parsimonious FS-KAP scales; and (3) hypotheses testing CB-SEM to understand relationships among variables. Findings revealed that FDWs sometimes engage in risky food safety practices during deliveries. Moreover, FDWs’ food safety knowledge and perceived self-efficacy positively impact proper food safety practices, with the strength of these relationships varying by job involvement. This study introduced a new theoretical model for evaluating FDWs’ food safety KAPs and provided insights to help industry and public health officials mitigate foodborne illness risks associated with restaurant food delivery.
