The food safety matter is an issue that is discussed widely, but cases of food poisoning in particular, are still ongoing. This may be associated with person's level of knowledge and practices on food safety. This current study aimed to evaluate knowledge and practices levels related to food safety and to examine the relationship of some demographic characteristics with knowledge and practices levels related to food safety, as well as the relationship between food safety knowledge and practices among the students and staff members of Zarqa University, Jordan. The study was conducted via a Google form that was set up for this study. 406 subjects participated in the study, where 37.7% were males and 62.3% of the participants were females. Results showed that 90.6% and 75.1% of the participants had a good knowledge and a high level of practices related to food safety, respectively. The findings also showed a significant relationship between age, marital status and the knowledge scores related to food safety, and a significant relationship (P < 0.05) between age, gender, marital status and practices related to food safety (P < 0.05). Further, a small significant positive relationship between food safety knowledge and food safety practices was found (P < 0.05). Overall, it was found that there is a good knowledge level related to food safety and high food safety practice level among the participants. As a result; to achieve an advanced level of knowledge continuing education programs, are required to increase understanding food safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
