“…The 33 studies 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 16 – 42 included were published between 2009 and 2022 and were cross-sectionally designed with a total of 6095 food handlers. Six major studies were carried out in the Greater Accra 2 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 35 , 38 and Volta 6 , 11 , 23 , 25 , 30 , 32 regions, and five were carried out in the Northern region 12 , 21 , 34 , 40 , 41 . Eighteen studies 2 , 6 , 7 , 12 , 16 , 19 , 21 – 23 , 25 , 28 , 30 , 32 – 34 , 36 , 41 , 42 used a simple random sampling technique, and 4 , 20 , 26 , 27 , 38 , 39 used systematic sampling (18.2%; n = 6) (Table 1 ).…”

“…Four out of 33 included studies 6 , 30 , 39 , 40 reported FHP-associated factors (Table 4 ). Three studies 6 , 30 , 40 reported an association between a lack of food safety training and good FHPs. The pooled estimate indicated that the odds of abiding by good FHPs were 0.10× lower among the nontrained food handlers than among their trained counterparts (POR = 0.10; 95% CI 0.03, 0.35; p = 0.001; Fig.…”

“…A systematic review reported 72.7% poor FHPs among Bangladeshi food handlers 43 , wherein the discrepancy could be due to the diverse study setting and sociodemographic characteristics among the food handlers. Food establishments operate without formal food safety training, registration to operate food business or regular medical check-ups and fitness tests of the food handlers in most developing countries 6 , 30 , 40 .…”

Foodborne diseases (FBDs) are a major public health concern, especially in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, such as Ghana, where poor food handling practices (FHPs) are prevalent. To estimate the pooled proportion of good FHPs and the associated factors among Ghanaian food handlers, this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to aid scholars, practitioners and policymakers in devising FBD-preventable interventions. The scientific databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, African Journals Online, ProQuest, and Directory of Open Access Journals were systematically searched until April 19, 2023, for relevant literature. Observational studies meeting the inclusion criteria of reported good FHPs among food handlers were included. Three authors independently searched the database, assessed the risks of bias and extracted the data from the shortlisted articles. A random-effects model with the DerSimonian and Laird model was used to estimate the pooled effect size of FHPs and the pooled odds ratio (POR) of FHP-associated factors. Out of the 2019 records collated, 33 with a total sample size of 6095 food handlers met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. The pooled proportion of good FHPs among Ghanaian food handlers was 55.8% [95% Cl (48.7, 62.8%); I2 = 97.4%; p < 0.001]. Lack of food safety training [POR = 0.10; 95% CI (0.03, 0.35); p = 0.001] and inadequate knowledge of food hygiene [POR = 0.36; 95% CI (0.01, 10.19); p < 0.001] were identified as the critical good FHP-associated factors. The study showed that the proportion of good FHPs among Ghanaian food handlers was 55.8%. To increase knowledge of food hygiene among food handlers, the Ghanaian Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) is recommended to provide regular training on food safety for the well-being of the general public.

“…This study proposed that food hygiene be tested to determine whether it can promote customer purchase intentions in the street food business in Bangkok. Even though there are prior studies on food hygiene in the street food industry 14,16,17 , it is still limited, particularly in the context of Thailand's street food and as an antecedent of customer purchase intentions.…”

This research examined the impact of the food hygiene perception of street food customers on their purchase intentions and its mechanism driven by their trust and perceived risk under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional data collected from 571 street food customers in Bangkok were computed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed a significant positive and direct influence of perceived food hygiene on customer purchase intentions (β=0.211; p<0.001). It also drove customer trust (β=0.726; p<0.001) and reduced perceived risk (β=-0.215; p<0.001). Customer trust was found to have a positive impact on purchase intentions (β=0.366; p<0.001), while perceived risk was negatively associated with purchase intentions (β=-0.264; p<0.001). In addition, the results confirmed a negative impact of customer trust on perceived risk (β=-0.371; p<0.001). Therefore, Sobel’s test results demonstrated partial positive moderations of customer trust (t= 8.211; p<0.001) and perceived risk (t= 4.066; p<0.001) between perceived food hygiene and purchase intentions. Finally, perceived was also found to partially and positively mediate between customer trust and purchase intentions (t= 5.289; p<0.001). This study provided novel and additional knowledge and evidence in the literature. It can also be applied as a guideline for street food operators and relevant governmental agents to raise the standard of street food sustainably under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
