摘要

导读:街头小吃经常被报道会导致食源性疾病。因此,街头食品的安全受到了极大的关注。大量研究表明,大学生对街头食品安全缺乏了解,会导致患食源性疾病的风险。目的:了解大学生街头食品安全知识状况。方法:采用预先测试的自我管理问卷,收集学生的社会人口学细节和食品安全知识相关数据。本研究共有332名街头食品消费者自愿参与,其中女性220人,男性112人。数据分析采用SPSS 26版,p值<0.05为差异有统计学意义。采用描述性统计和推理统计进行分析。结果:研究表明,街头食品消费者对食品安全知识的知晓程度一般。有关食品安全的知识与所评估的社会人口因素(性别、年龄、种族、婚姻状况、学习项目、学年和住宿方式)没有显著相关性(p >0.05)。大多数消费者意识到食品污染的可能性、洗手的重要性以及为预防食源性疾病而保持适当卫生的必要性。然而,与食品安全知识有关的一些方面引起了人们的关注。大多数顾客很难理解食物不会传播艾滋病。结论:应加强青少年食品卫生安全知识教育。然而,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。

Knowledge on street food safety among a selected group of Sri Lankan students; A cross-sectional study
Introduction: Street food has been frequently reported to contribute to foodborne illnesses. As a result, the safety of street food has been given major attention. Numerous studies have shown that a lack of knowledge among university students regarding street food safety results in a risk of contracting food-borne illnesses. Objective: Determine the knowledge of street food safety among undergraduate students. Methodology: A pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data related to students’ socio-demographic details and food safety knowledge. In this study, 332 street food consumers (220 females and 112 males) voluntarily participated. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 26 using p value < 0.05 as statistical significance. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results: The study showed that street food consumers’ knowledge on food safety was average. The knowledge regarding food safety was not significantly associated with socio-demographic factors assessed (gender, age, ethnicity, marital status, study program, academic year, and accommodation method) (p > 0.05). The majority of consumers were aware of the possibility of food contamination, the value of washing hands, and the need for adequate hygiene in order to prevent foodborne illnesses. However, some aspects related to knowledge of food safety caused concerns. The majority of customers found it difficult to understand that food does not transmit AIDS. Conclusion: Young adults should be educated about food hygiene and safety. However, further studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
