“…This study found only one-third of Bangladeshi domestic food handlers (35.8%) showed more awareness of food safety issues because of the COVID-19 pandemic, contrasting with previous studies that reported the pandemic increased food safety concerns by 50% of consumers in Canada ( Kitz et al, 2022 ) and 76.5% of consumers in Jordan ( Osaili et al, 2022 ). Previous research showed that Bangladeshi consumers were more concerned about chemical food hazards such as pesticides, formalin and toxic colours in food than microbiological food hazards such as viruses, bacteria and parasites ( Ishra et al, 2022 ).…”

“…This could be due to the fact that, most participants were educated and working in the health-related majors and this can lead to high awareness regarding food safety. Conversely, several recent studies conducted in the Middle East showed a low to moderate level of knowledge regarding food safety such as in Saudi Arabia [ 17 , 18 ], Jordan [ 19 ] and Egypt [ 20 ].

Background Lebanon has been gripped by an economic crisis and the local currency has lost more than 90% of its value; besides, a lack of consistent electricity supply which has contributed to rising concerns about food safety especially among households. This study aimed to assess Lebanese society knowledge, attitude and practice towards food safety during the economic crisis. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Lebanon between September 5 and January 30, 2021. Data was collected through an online survey that included information on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and practice of Lebanese consumers towards food safety. Two multivariate regression models were performed on the knowledge and practices as a dependent variable. 95% confidence interval was calculated. All tests were two-sided and statistical significance was set at p-value < 0.05. Results The majority of participants had good knowledge regarding food safety (74.9%) while more than half of the respondents adopted good preventive practices (62.8%). Multivariate regression of factors associated with good knowledge regarding food safety showed married participants (adjusted OR = 2.1; p < 0.0001), who had university degree and above (adjusted OR = 2.0; p < 0.0001), and who had income < 1,500,000 LBP (adjusted OR = 1.7; p < 0.0001) had a significantly good knowledge score compared to their counterparts. Finally, participants aged more than 35 years old and who had income higher than 1,500,000 LBP (adjusted OR = 1.8; p < 0.0001 and adjusted OR = 1.9; p = 0.01 respectively) were positively associated to good practice towards food safety. Conclusion This study offers useful insights into the knowledge, attitude and practices of Lebanese consumers towards food safety during the economic crisis.
