“…The reviewed studies, done in countries like the U.S.A (Faw and Tuttle, 2013) or Malaysia (Ismail et al 2016), showed a general need for more general awareness among the street vendors and on the application of the WHO's five keys to safety. Furthermore, the studies emphasised a low respect of hygiene requirements during food preparation due to inadequacy of: raw materials, sites and tools; personal hygiene of alternatives were proposed to solve these problems i.e.…”

“…Educating those in the food industry in FSK is an imperative action to be taken by governments to reduce and prevent FBD worldwide (WHO, 2006). As acknowledged in a study by Ismail et al (2016), the amount of FSK a food handler has, was positively associated with the practices they perform when preparing and serving food. In essence, good FSK is needed for good FSP.…”

“…For instance, the studies of Rahman et al (2012) and Toh and Birchenough (2000), who both received a poor FSK rating, consisted of population samples who worked at hawker stalls or street vendors. According to Omar and Ishak (2016), those working at hawker stalls or as street vendors fall under the "typical informal sector" of the Malaysian economy, and therefore, may not be registered with the MMoH As acknowledged by Ismail et al (2016), unregistered food handlers will not avail of mandatory SPLM to be trained and educated in food safety. It could be the case that the food handlers involved in these studies may not have had any training in FSK or FSP, and thus performed poorly in the questionnaires of the studies.…”

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), globally 600 million people suffer from food-borne diseases (FBD), and 420,000 people die as a result. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has stated that FBD are linked to the food industry, with the most common means of transmission being due to poor food handling and hygiene by food handlers working in the food industry. The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of mandatory food handler training programmes (FHTP) to prevent FBD in Malaysia and Ireland. To do this, the FHTP existing in Malaysia and Ireland were analysed, in addition to the legislation they fall under in each respective country. Effectiveness was determined by investigating the level of food safety knowledge (FSK) and food safety practices (FSP) of food handlers in Malaysia and Ireland. A systematic literature review (SLR) and a narrative literature review (NLR) were conducted for this research. The SLR was based on the PRISMA diagram, using the Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (CERQual) approach to evaluate the studies used for this research. A total of 8 Malaysian studies and 1 Irish study were used to determine the level of FSK and FSP of food handlers in each respective country, to examine the effectiveness of FHTP. The results of the studies used for this research have depicted overall good FSP and FSK of food handlers in Malaysia and Ireland; yet trends continue to show that food handlers are one of the biggest contributors to FBD, demonstrating that FHTP are not effective in preventing FBD. The findings from this research highlights that although these trainings can be an effective tool to prevent FBD, if they are not executed correctly, food handlers will continue to contribute to FBD.
