- W2318679777 abstract "PP-30-126 Background/Aims: In Ethiopia, available studies on food safety indicate that the domestic kitchen is an important place of origin for foodborne diseases. This study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about food safety and handling practices of households in Jimma Town, South West of Ethiopia, and generate a baseline for future research and policy recommendation. Methods: Between 25 April and 25 June, 2009, a community-based cross-sectional study with selected variables was designed and conducted during the investigation period. The study population was a sample of households (n = 840) preparing meals at home for individual or family consumption. Multistage sampling procedure was used to get the sampled population. Data were collected through a house-to-house survey using a face-to-face and observational structured questionnaire and check list. Results: The investigation revealed a general trend of good knowledge regarding food contamination sources and causes. About 99.4% and 98.5% of respondents knew contaminated water and microorganisms as the source and cause of food contamination and illness, respectively. On the other hand, a high proportion of the respondents 89% to 75% were not knowledgeable about the specific micro organisms that cause foodborne disease and food poisoning such as Salmonella and Clostridium botulism. The great majority of the respondents showed positive attitude toward adoption of adequate personal hygiene, sanitization of utensils, use of protective clothing and gloves, proper food storage, separating raw food from cooked food, and careful study of food ingredients and labeling. Conclusion: Improvement in food handling practices in the domestic environment is likely to reduce the risk and incidence of house derived food borne illness. It is hoped that the government and industry would use the outcome of this investigation to target food safety education to the general public by creating public awareness and promoting health education." @default.
