Abstract

Studies have shown that domestic knowledge and practices relating to the prevention of food-borne disease may be inadequate and that family outbreaks of food poisoning are numerically very important. The use of the mass media can be beneficial in health education and it could provide “cues to action” helping to improve domestic food hygiene. Members of the public were questioned about their desire for information on food hygiene and what sources of information they would use. Different components of the mass media were analysed for the information they provided on food safety and the results indicated they were an underutilized resource for food hygiene education. Provides recommendations that are inexpensive but could prove successful, and gives sources of appropriate advice
