对居住在土耳其马尼萨市中心的 600 名消费者的主要食品安全问题和食品消费习惯之间的关系进行了评估。通过结构化问卷对受访者进行面对面访谈。访谈中询问了不同群体的 66 个问题（受访者的人口统计、食品安全认知、对食源性疾病的认识、食品污染物和危害、食品安全信息来源、对食品安全当局的信心、食品处理和家庭安全实践）。从研究中获得的数据表明，需要对家庭环境中的安全食品处理做法进行更多的消费者教育。食品处理方法和食品安全是公众关注的焦点，需要采取行动预防食源性疾病。会议认为，电视、广播节目是向消费者传播食品安全知识的重要媒体。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Relationships among the main food safety concerns and food consumption habits of 600 consumers living in Manisa City center, Turkey were evaluated. Respondents were interviewed face-to-face by a structured questionnaire. Sixty six questions under different groups (demographics of respondents, food safety perceptions, and awareness of food-borne illnesses, contaminants of foods and hazards, sources of food safety information, confidence in food safety authorities, food handling and safety practices at homes) were asked in the interview. Data obtained from the study indicated the need for much more consumer education regarding safe food handling practices in the domestic environment. Food handling practices and food safety are of public concern, and action is required to prevent the foodborne illnesses. It was seen that, TV and radio programmes are important media for sharing the knowledge of food safety with consumers. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
