To understand how both food vendors and consumers conceptualize food safety, their attitudes and beliefs about the risk of foodborne illness and how to prevent it, and how this knowledge and these beliefs are reflected in their practices and interactions with one another, EatSafe conducted two scoping reviews, both presented in this report: one on consumer perceptions of food safety (Part 1) and one on vendor perceptions of food safety (Part 2).
This report has been adapted into two peer-reviewed articled, one in journal Foodborne Pathogens and Disease, and the other in the Journal of Food Protection.
