Food Safety Attitudes of Undergraduate Dietitians

Abstract

From the 210 student dietitians that participated, 70% recalled having received food safety training/education as part of their degree course. Recall differed significantly (p< 0.05) between the institutions, as indicated in Table 1. All student dietitians in Cardiff participated in a one-day food safety training programme, students in Beirut attended food service practicums and food microbiology lectures, whereas in Ohio, 69% of students completed microbiology and foodservice sanitation courses, and 39% completed ServSafe certification.
