Hygiene intervention reduces contamination of weaning food in Bangladesh

Abstract: Abstractobjective This study was conducted to measure the impact of a hygiene intervention on the contamination of weaning food in Bangladesh.methods Sixty households were selected: 30 study and 30 control households. Samples of weaning food were collected from all the 60 households at baseline and examined for faecal coliforms (FC), faecal streptococci (FS) and Clostridium perfringens (CP) following standard procedures. After cooking, food samples were collected on three occasions before feeding. Following Ha… Show more

“…

Step A (assess): The first step involved the collection and analysis of published and local knowledge concerning food hygiene behavior to define target behaviors, the parameters of the intervention, and the questions to be answered in the Formative Research. We carried out a systematic review of literature on food hygiene (presented elsewhere), examined past experience, in particular small-scale weaning food studies in Mali,37 Brazil,45 and Bangladesh,36 other hygiene interventions, learning particularly from the World Health Organization five key behaviors for safer food46 and the successful SuperAmma handwashing trial in India 38. We consulted colleagues in government and non-governmental organizations to establish that the intervention would be replicable and scalable in the context of Nepal.

Step B (build): Formative research was conducted to investigate specific behaviors; target audiences, and behavioral determinants including habits, motives and plans, and social, physical, and biological factors in the kitchen and village environment (the key elements of the BCD model42,43).

“…Beyond the usual WASH inter ventions, recent research 8,9 suggests that food might be a dominant exposure pathway for enteric infection in early childhood but this pathway was unlikely to have been significantly influenced by these interventions. Another reason why children might fail to grow adequately in such settings is exposure to animal waste, with studies showing an association between exposure through animal husbandry and diarrhoeal diseases.…”

“…Several studies in developing countries have shown a high level of consumer concern over food safety [34]. Hygiene training at household level is often effective [35], but the costs tend to be high and controlling contamination further down the supply chain may be preferred.…”
