Food safety knowledge, food shopping attitude and safety kitchen practices among Romanian consumers: A structural modelling approach
This paper aimed to establish the relationship between food safety knowledge, food shopping attitude, and self-reported kitchen practices among Romanian consumers. The study used data collected in an online survey applied on 985 consumers. A knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) model applied by structural equation modelling revealed significant correlations between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.36; p < 0.001). Also, knowledge and attitude depicted significant effects on self-reported safety kitchen practices (β = 0.17, p < 0.001; β = 0.47, p < 0.001) and explained 30% of the variance of the food safety practices applied by Romanian consumers. These findings suggest that higher levels of food safety knowledge than current ones could conduct to an improved attitude towards food shopping priorities and could incline consumers to adopt adequate food safety practices during food purchasing in shops and food manipulation in their kitchens. Case-studies from real life situations (an observational study including 15 Romanian households) support the findings of this study and urge interventions to improve consumers’ food safety practices at home.
