| description | Street foods have become more popular in developing countries including Malaysia.
However, street food consumption has correlated to higher risks of food-borne diseases.
This study was conducted to investigate the KAP level regarding food safety and
hygiene among street food vendors in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. This is because street
vendors regularly have inadequate access of running water for cleaning hands or
equipment while handling the foods. This cross-sectional study involved 246 of
respondents who were the main food handlers at the cart or food stand that being
registered by MPKB by answering a set of questionnaires. The participants were being
selected by convenience sampling method based on the list of street food vendors’
populations. According to results, all of respondents obtained a high mean percentage of
knowledge (93.68±10.99), attitude (91.19±8.89) and practice (91.19±8.89). Moreover,
significant difference was found between education level and food handling training
with KAP (p=0.01). Besides, there is a positive correlation between knowledge with
attitude, attitude with practice and knowledge with practice (p=0.01). With regards to
the street vendors, there is no significant relationship between working experience
(p>0.05) with KAP levels. In conclusion, elderly adults considering that what they did
over the years was correct and applicable. Although the study has achieved it aims, the
researcher had difficulties to approach the respondents due to time limit starting from
business hours to end of wrapping up of the cart. |
