This research was aimed to analyze the food safety knowledge levels between gastronomy and culinary arts students and food work-ers in the Çukurova Region of Turkey. A total of 155 participants (80 students, 75 food workers) have partici-pated in this cross-sectional study. The overall knowledge scores of food workers and the students were 89.33% and 78.89% respectively, and food workers have more scores in all sections (p<0.001). Hy-giene certification, occupa-tion, and working estab-lishments had a significant association with total food safety scores; however, gender, marital status, age, education level, frequency of hygiene education, work-ing experience, monthly in-come had no significant as-sociation with their scores (p>0.05). A positive correla-tion was found between gender, education status, hygiene certification, and frequency of receiving hy-giene education; but no cor-relation was found between working in any food busi-ness, graduated high schools, and age of the stu-dents (p>0.05). More knowledge gaps of both groups have been found about time-temperature con-trol, holding/storage tem-perature, and cross-contamination. Finally, it is important to measure the reflection of the hygiene training on practices and to make it regular in ensuring food safety.

The purpose of the study was to identify the socioeconomic and professional profile of owners and food handlers of food trucks in a capital in the south of Brazil, as well as to evaluate the knowledge of these individuals regarding food safety. A total of 119 individuals in Curitiba, Brazil, participated in the study. For data collection, was elaborated a questionnaire about the socio-demographic, professional profile and food safety knowledge, which was filled by the participants during events. The majority of the individuals were owners (75.63%), of the male gender (69.75%), aged between 30 and 44 years-old (56.30%) and with complete/incomplete higher education (55.46%). The participants answered of the questions of food safety correctly (76.63%). There was a significant difference regarding food safety knowledge among the participants related to the level of education (p=0.0054), length of service in the food segment (p=0.0267), and the completion of courses related to the food area (p=0.0016). These results emphasize the need for continuous education and for the development of new strategies for food safety training, in order to improve the knowledge of street food workers.
