Kitchen layouts and consumers’ food hygiene practices: ergonomics versus safety
Mihalache, Octavian Augustin; Møretrø, Trond; Borda, Daniela; Dumitraşcu, Loredana; Neagu, Corina; Nguyen-The, Christophe; Maître, IsabelleOur paper emphasizes the importance of the kitchen layout in facilitating consumers' food hygiene practices. A significant correlation was found between the sink placement (inside or outside the kitchen) and hygienic practices during food handling based on a survey performed on consumers from ten European countries, indicating that those who had the sink in the kitchen were more likely to perform proper hygiene...

Santos-Ferreira, Nânci; Alves, Ângela; Cardoso, Maria João; Langsrud, Solveig; Malheiro, Ana Rita; Fernandes, Rui; Maia, Rui; Truninger, MónicaCampylobacter spp. are the most common bacterial pathogens associated with human gastroenteritis in industrialized countries. Contaminated chicken is the food vehicle associated with the majority of reported cases of campylobacteriosis, either by the consumption of undercooked meat or via cross- contamination of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods during the handling of contaminated raw chicken parts and carcasses. Our re...

Mihalache, Octavian Augustin; Møretrø, Trond; Borda, Daniela; Dumitraşcu, Loredana; Neagu, Corina; Nguyen-The, Christophe; Maître, IsabelleThe data presented here capture the structure of kitchen layouts belonging to consumers vulnerable to foodborne diseases and food risk-takers. Data were collected in the frame of the SafeConsume project by multidisciplinary research teams that visited consumers during preparing a meal and had the possibility to examine their cooking routines. Distances between sink and stove, sink and refrigerator, stove and re...

Syeda, Rowshonara; Lundgren, Pia Touboul; Kasza, Gyula; Truninger, Monica; Brown, Carla; Lacroix-Hugues, Virginie; Izsó, Tekla; Teixeira, PaulaFoodborne diseases are a global burden, are preventable, and young people are a key population for behaviour change as they gain autonomy. This study aimed to explore young people’s needs across several European countries in relation to learning about and implementing food hygiene and food safety. Qualitative focus groups and interviews were conducted in rural and city regions across England, France, Hungary an...
