“…Our study result showed that the prevalence of poor complementary food preparation practice was (65.3%, 95% CI: (61.3%, 69.0%). The this nding is in line with the study conducted in Harari region ,Ethiopia (61%) (24), Tegedie Woreda, Northwest Ethiopia (66%)(4) and Bahir Dar Zuria Woreda, Northwest Ethiopia (61.1%) (8). The possible reason for similarity may be due to socio-economic similarity or the living standard of population.…”

“…The possible reason may be developing ignorance toward hygienic complementary preparation practice and feeding children when the age of mother is increasing. However, the nding is inconsistent with the study conducted in Harari region (24). The difference of these could be due to socioeconomic factors or due to errors on data since there is difference on sample size considered.…”

“…The reason could be that educated husband may inform the mothers and help her on safe preparation, handling and storage of food, proper disposal of child faeces, and proper feeding practices. The ndings from other studies showed that educated mothers takes good care during hygienic complementary food preparation and handling (20,24,25).…”

Introduction: Complementary feeding is a critical time of transition in the life of infant and complementary foods should be hygienically prepared, stored and fed with clean hands, dishes and utensils to prevent diseases. However, Prevalence and risk factors of hygienic complementary feeding practice is not well addressed in Ethiopia especially in study area. Objective: To assess hygienic practices and associated factors during complementary feeding among mothers with children aged 6 to 24 months in Borecha Woreda, Buno Bedele Zone, South Western Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: Community based cross sectional study design with multi-stage sampling technique was employed. The study was conducted on 536 mothers with children aged 6-24 months in the Borecha Woreda from March 1stto April 1st, 2022. Data were collected using interviewer administered structured questionnaire. Data were coded, cleaned, edited and entered into Epi-Data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 20.0 for further analysis. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted. Moreover, Crude (for bivariate) and adjusted (multivariable) odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals was computed to assess the association between independent factors and outcome variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as level statically significance. Result: Among 536 respondents, 350 (65.3%) of study participants had poor hygienic practice during complementary feeding. The risk of poor practice among more than 30 years old were about two times [AOR: 1.8 (with 95% CI 1.11, 2.90)] higher than those of less than 25 years old women. Mother whose husband has primary or above education level has a reduction of 50% [AOR: 0.5 (with 95% CI 0.50 (0.31, 0.83)] in the odds of having a poor hygiene care practices during complementary feeding compared to counterpart. The odds of poor hygiene practice among mother with poor knowledge of hygienic care were 2.71 times [AOR: 2.71(95%CI; 1.60, 4.61)] higher than those knowledgeable. Conclusion: The prevalence of poor hygienic practice during complementary food preparation and handling of mothers in Borecha Woreda is high as compared to other studies. Therefore, improving hygiene practice of complementary food preparation requires the responsibility of policy makers, community and family.

“…Male scored higher in their FSK than females, this might be related to the small number of enrolled females in this study. In one of the recent studies of mothers preparing complementary food [45], it was found that the prevalence of good hygienic practice of food preparation was low. Females household activities in Jordan relevant to food handling might be assessed to formulate an understanding about their FSK and the level of food protection at homes.…”

Food safety knowledge (FSK) plays an important role in guiding food handlers (FHs) practices during food operations. The aim of this research was to investigate the level of FSK among FHs in hospitals' food services in Jordan. Up to 245 food handlers work in hospitals were purposefully selected from 6 public and private hospitals. A published FSK questionnaire included 120 items in 6 subscales was used to collect data. Most of the hospitals' FHs were male (91.84, n=225), of mean age 35.89 ± 9.26 years, with average experience of 12.55 ± 8.1 years, education of less than high school, and worked in public hospitals. The overall FSK was found to be "moderate" (71.20%). Food handlers were having the highest knowledge in the areas of "personal hygiene and hand washing" (80.87%), "health problems affecting FS" (86.10%), and "cross-contamination control and sanitation" (75.96%). FSK was "moderate" in "thawing, safe storage, transfer, catering, holding, heating, and re-heating" was (68.06%), "foodborne diseases and symptoms" (67.05%), and "poor" in "foodborne pathogens" (30.60%). Male FHs possessed higher FSK than female's counterparts (p=.036). There was a significant negative relationship between FSK and age (p=.044), positive relationship with previous exposure to FS training (p=.000), while there was no significant mean difference of FSK based on the years of experience or hospital sector (p=.090). One-way ANOVA with post-hoc revealed that FHs with higher educational qualification possessed higher FSK (p= .00). Food Safety Training is recommended for certain areas in food operations and foodborne pathogens.

“…The other social groups could be created for the certain purposes. For the part of Rural Kebeles community of Harari Region, in Ethiopia, for example, social practitioner groups could be designed to develop the hygiene life such as handwashing with soap and water before food processing, before eating food, and after visiting toilet, in which this hygiene life does not become their habit yet for part of them [31].…”

Indonesia has been facing a high shrinkage of productive paddy land size from 16 704 272 ha in 1983 to 8 685 888 ha in 2013 which decreases to 7.46 million ha in 2019. The reduction of land size within the high growth of population who is strongly dependent on paddy rice staple food could probably bring this country food crisis. The reducing habit of paddy rice eating is valuable to solve the probable problem of rice scarcity, although it is not easy, and needs high persuasion. But unfortunately, current extension tends to only convey information and innovation, either linearly or in a dialogue, lacking a touch for behavior change. Therefore, this research aims to formulate the proper extension model to reduce the acute dependence on paddy rice. By the existence of custom community as cassava rice eater in West Java, Indonesia, the research aims to explore social interaction (SI) between the consumers of cassava rice and people living around them, the impact of SI on the food innovativeness (FI) and tendency of eating pattern change (EPC) of cassava rice eater's surrounding community, and finally the research aims to formulate extension model, which is the main purpose of this study. 182 samples who live around the custom community, are determined by Slovin formula with 5% error probability. The respondent is taken by stratified random sampling. This survey based on path analysis proves the significant direct effect of SI toward FI. Furthermore, the indirect effect of SI on the tendency of EPC through FI is less significant. Therefore, the extension model to develop EPC should create non-rice eater community as an extension agent; and they should be encouraged to enhance SI with surrounding community. This model of extension could be a problem solution for probable food scarcity; and it of course contributes to the existed linier as well as interaction model of extension. However, making non-rice eater community is not easy but probable to implement.
