A recent study conducted in Sergipe State, Brazil, examined the association between socio-economic indicators and food safety in public schools. The study found that schools in areas with higher socio-economic indicators had better overall food safety scores compared to schools in areas with lower socio-economic indicators. Schools in lower socio-economic areas had higher risks of foodborne illnesses, particularly in relation to temperature-controlled equipment violations, food handlers, and process and production. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve food safety in schools located in areas with lower socio-economic conditions. [Extracted from the article] |
