Abstract: | This paper presents a detailed approach that can be used to evaluate the food safety behaviour of consumers. The preparation of a chicken and mushroom meal is used as a model. Hazard analyses were conducted and an audit hazard check-list compiled. A standard measure of hygienic food handling behaviour, a food operation risk (FOR) score, was devised, tested and refined. Additionally, a food safety risk (FSR) score, indicating the degree of likely risk to the consumer was developed. Early results indicate that these techniques are suitable for investigating the food safety behaviour of a larger sample of consumers with a range of home-produced food products. It will be useful to those involved in hygiene auditing and intervention and could benefit small scale caterers attempting to develop HACCP plans for their operations. |
