Abstract
Good personal hygiene and food safety practices are crucial in foodservice establishments. It should guarantee the food is safe to be eaten by the consumers. However, food poisoning cases are still arising from time to time. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of food safety among food-handlers. A quantitative method is applied in this study involving 140 food-handlers. The results showed that respondents do possess the right attitude; however, there are some vital aspects of food safety that still can be improvised. In addition, the respondents were reported to have good knowledge of food handling. In terms of practice, the respondents do practice the important aspects of food safety and hygiene, but still, there are some of them that are being neglected. Hence, the outcomes of this study may perhaps increase the awareness of food-handlers regarding the importance of hygiene in food premises.
