A survey of more than 2,700 retail food handlers across the U.S. has revealed strong food safety knowledge overall, with room for improvement in certain areas including time/temperature control and safe food preparation. The findings support recommendations for enhancing food safety training programs and reinforcement in the workplace.
The surveywas conducted by the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) with support from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and in collaboration with the Conference for Food Protection and the National Restaurant Association.
