Establishing a Food Safety Culture in Small Food Businesses
The research examined the attitudes towards food safety, the barriers and facilitators to establishing a strong food safety culture and developed recommendations for overcoming these barriers.
This project used a stakeholder approach to investigate food safety culture among small food businesses, specifically food retailers, food producers and food service establishments on the island of Ireland. It examined the attitudes towards food safety, the barriers and facilitators to establishing a strong food safety culture and developed recommendations for overcoming these barriers.
Furthermore, as part of the project, a number of tools/interventions were piloted and evaluated. These include Safefood’s food safety eLearning resource, Safefood for Business, and other services from relevant stakeholders, such as training courses, publications, and online resources.
