“…As society continues to evolve rapidly due to social innovations, more and more consumers in Nigeria are spending an increasingly significant portion of their income in ways remarkably different from conventional ways of spending. In Nigeria, a significant proportion of the population-mostly low-income earners-are more interested in moneysaving and convenience than in food safety, quality and hygiene [32,33]. The preferred food destination for these people (low-income workers, shoppers, travelers, and school children) are food vendors on the street, as the main objective of these consumers is to quench their hunger with little concern for the safety or nutritional quality of such vended street foods [33,34].…”

Sadly, unhygienic food handling practices have become common among these informal food-selling vendors, as foods are either cooked, baked, or processed in extremely unsanitary environments.…”

“…However, they have been unable to do so due to financial constraints and/or having hired temporary staff, thereby experiencing challenges in instilling conventional food safety culture among their employees. Various studies have assessed the personal practices and hygiene of food business and the knowledge of food safety cultures among consumers and informal food vendors [18,33,38,[64][65][66][67][68]. Interestingly, these studies concluded that further research is still needed in order to quell Nigeria's poor food safety culture.…”

As a developing nation and the most populous nation in Africa, Nigeria has enormous challenges connected with food safety culture. To produce and provide safe, secure and nutritious food, consumers and food businesses must abide by a set of shared values known as food safety culture. In Nigeria, food safety culture is a complex subject due to Nigeria’s heterogeneous and diverse nature, as demonstrated by its over 250 ethnic groups. As Nigeria becomes more urbanized and incomes continue to fluctuate at robust rates, few Nigerians are conscious of food safety issues. In addition, oversight from government regulators around food safety require improvement. Public engagement in food safety issues has not witnessed a promising trajectory in recent years. In this article, we provide a review of the food safety culture in Nigeria and its role and influence on various cases of food safety issues in Nigeria. Of interest to this paper are studies exploring consumer and food handler perceptions and behavior regarding food safety. In addition, keen attention is devoted to areas that are in need of additional research to help address practical and on-the-ground challenges associated with Nigeria’s food safety practices. This article suggests that improving food safety culture in Nigeria requires both applying the best management and communication approaches in different regions and understanding the local food safety practices.

Street foods mostly consist of local, seasonal and fresh ingredients that represent the local culinary cultures of the country or region where they are sold. Therefore, these foods are very valuable for local food habits and play an important role in the preservation of cultural and social heritage. The fact that Cyprus has been under the administration of many civilizations throughout its history has caused the Turkish cuisine culture of Northern Cyprus to have a very rich structure. The development of the island's unique street food gastronomy tourism is also of great importance in terms of the sustainability of the resources and economic gains. The diversity of street foods shows itself in the streets, markets and festivals. In this review, street foods are defined with a global perspective, evaluated in terms of food safety and street foods belonging to the Northern Cyprus culture are mentioned.

Introduction Street food has become popular in developing countries due to its affordability, availability and taste. Maintaining the quality and safety of street food is linked to the vendors’ appropriate food handling practices to reduce foodborne illness. Therefore, this study aimed to assess food safety knowledge, attitudes and practices of street food vendors in Chattogram city, Bangladesh. Methods A cross‐sectional study was carried out among 302 street food vendors from December 2020 to March 2021. Data were collected by in‐person interviews through a structured questionnaire. Independent sample t‐tests and one‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices scores across socio‐demographic variables. Results The mean score of food safety knowledge, attitudes and practices was 8.99 (SD = 4.17, range: 1–18), 8.46 (SD = 3.51, range: 1–16) and 17.78 (SD = 5.74, range: 1–34), respectively. The food safety knowledge scores significantly (p < 0.05) differed by the participants’ age, marital status, income, residence and work experience. The average food safety attitudes score significantly (p < 0.05) varied by age, marital status, income, and education level. The average food safety practices score significantly (p < 0.05) differed by the respondents’ education level and work experience. Conclusion Our findings suggest that food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices were poor among street food vendors. Therefore, there is a need for strategies and intervention programs such as food safety training and awareness campaigns as well as financial support to improve food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices which help to reduce foodborne illness.
