The consumption of fresh vegetables at the stalls needs serious attention. This research aimed to estimate the exposure probability due to fresh vegetables consumption of street food consumers, to measure sanitation level of street stalls that serving fresh vegetables, and to recommend a mentoring program for the stalls at four locations in Bogor City. This research was conducted at 16 stalls located at four locations in Bogor City. The number of respondents surveyed was 293 people and determined by stratified sampling method. Food frequency questionnaire was used as a tool in the survey. The survey showed that men consumed more fresh vegetables than women with the average of 47.12 g/person/consumption and frequency 3.37 times/week (p<0.05). Adults consumed fresh vegetables at the stalls most often with 3.05 times/week and the average consumption of 44.59 g/person/consumption (p<0.05). All street stalls were at level IV of sanitary practices. Thus, there is a risk of food safety in consuming fresh vegetables at the stalls at four locations in Bogor City. Men and adults had high exposure probability to microbiological hazards due to fresh vegetables consumption at the stalls. Mentoring program for all locations involving socialization and implementation of street stall management and sanitation practices regulations by government, full awareness of street vendors in complying with the prevailing regulations, and firm action for the vendors who violate the rules.

Safety Knowledge

Food safety knowledge, attitudes, and street food suppliers and consumer behaviors of the capital city Dhaka were investigated. A cross-sectional study was conducted using questionnaires based on previous studies. Three main areas addressed in the surveys and statistical analysis are; 1) statistical data including gender, age, education, income, food safety training, and specific elements related to the work experience of suppliers, 2) knowledge of food safety such as the awareness of consumers and suppliers concerning pathogenic microbes that cause food poisoning, food and personal hygiene, proper cleaning procedures and high-risk groups, and 3) list of food handling attitude and behavior of subjects. Results showed food safety knowledge of street vendors in the High-tech Industries Development Zone was the lowest, where education levels are generally relatively low. Food safety attitudes of the youngest consumers were significantly better than those of older age groups. Street vendors were relatively poor in carrying out safe food handling, with only 27.6% using or being fully equipped with hand-washing facilities, although more than 50% of vendors were not wearing clean and tidy clothes and masks. Steps should be taken to improve street food stall operating conditions and facilities, including access of potable water, providing clean protected structures, and efficient waste collection and disposal systems that can promote the plans and strategies to improve street food safety of Dhaka city and Bangladesh as a whole.

Continuous Presence

Many street vendors earn their livelihoods by selling foods and drinks at the campus of University of Dhaka. Their continuous presence and activities make them one of the key stakeholders of the campus. Both the vendors and customers dispose garbage indiscriminately in the vicinity, which makes the campus dirty, unclean and unhygienic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the environmental awareness and food safety practices among the food vendors with a view to recommend measures to uplift the campus environment. A mixed method was adopted for the study, in which 44 street vendors and 54 consumers were selected purposively from the campus. The results show that the vendors are not aware of food safety issues. The study recommends several measures, such as, designating vending places, registering all street food vendors, improving monitoring system and implementing non-formal environmental education programs for the vendors on food safety and environmental awareness.

Safety Knowledge

This study explores the disparity between the food safety knowledge and practices of street food vendors in a developing country. A purposive survey to determine the knowledge and practices of street food vendors was conducted on 36 street food vendors. The food safety knowledge of the street vendors was tested under five factors, as adopted in the literature. Through a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, a disparity between the food safety knowledge and practices of street food vendors was observed. Moreover, a structural modeling technique was adopted to analyze the interrelationships between food safety knowledge factors and practices. As a result, it was found that most of the food safety knowledge impact their counterpart factors on food safety practices. Likewise, such factors on food safety knowledge are crucial in explaining the reported food safety practices. When mapping the food safety knowledge.of the street food vendors to their practices, it was found that street vendors have a high level of food safety knowledge but low in actual practice, as evidenced by poor food handling practices among street food vendors which also significantly differs from the established standards. The results in this study provide crucial insights into the literature in developing a holistic view of the dynamics of street food vending. Moreover, the results may be beneficial to stakeholders as it may aid them in the development of management and policy initiatives that may be crucial in addressing the contemporary issues of street food vending in developing countries.

Purpose: Canada’s multicultural population poses challenges for culturally competent nutrition research and practice. In this qualitative study, the cultural relevance of a widely used semiquantitative fruit and vegetable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was examined among convenience samples of adults from Toronto’s Cantonese-, Mandarin-, Portuguese-, and Vietnamesespeaking communities. Methods: Eighty-nine participants were recruited through community-based organizations, programs, and advertisements to participate in semi-structured interviews moderated in their native language. Data from the interviews were translated into English and transcribed for analysis using the constant comparative approach. Results: Four main themes emerged from the analysis: the cultural relevance of the foods listed on the FFQ, words with multiple meanings, the need for culturally appropriate portionsize prompts, and the telephone survey as a Western concept. Conclusions: This research highlights the importance of investing resources to develop culturally relevant dietary assessment tools that ensure dietary assessment accuracy and, more important, reduce ethnocentric biases in food and nutrition research and practice. The transferability of findings must be established through further research.

Faktor gizi merupakan salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi kemampuan belajar anak, termasuk pada siswa Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) yang berada pada usia remaja dan disiapkan sebagai tenaga terampil sesuai bidang keahliannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan faktor gizi yang meliputi asupan energi dan zat gizi (karbohidrat, protein, lemak, zat besi, vitamin C, dan zink), kebiasaan sarapan, dan status gizi dengan prestasi belajar pada siswa SMK di Sleman, DIY. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional cross sectional pada 100 siswa kejuruan dengan jurusan bidang teknik kendaraan ringan yang berasal dari SMKN 2 Depok, SMKN 1 Seyegan dan SMK Muhammadiyah Prambanan. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner karakteristik individu dan semi kuantitatif Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Status gizi ditentukan dengan indikator IMT/U dan prestasi belajar diukur dari nilai ujian praktik mata pelajaran kejuruan. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan subjek memiliki asupan energi defisit (68%), protein defisit (40%), lemak defisit (57%), karbohidrat defisit (65%), vitamin C defisit (27%), zat besi defisit (59%), zink defisit (93%), status gizi normal (67%), dan kebiasaan sarapan jarang (35%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat asupan energi dan zat gizi serta status gizi dengan prestasi belajar (p>0,05) tetapi ada hubungan signifikan antara kebiasaan sarapan (p=0,010) serta pekerjaan ayah dan ibu (p=0,030 dan p=0,031) dengan prestasi belajar. Disimpulkan bahwa kebiasaan sarapan merupakan faktor gizi yang berhubungan dengan prestasi belajar siswa SMK.
