Family Economics Review Highlights, Summer 1976 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Family Economics Review: Highlights, Summer 1976 Homemakers whose sound knowledge of food safety principles and concepts are reflected in their behavior in the kitchen constituted only 9 percent of the homemakers sampled. An additional 28 percent seemingly did the right thing without knowing why. It may be difficult to effect any change in the behavior of the 13 percent who are knowledgeable about food safety principles but who proceed to actually practice unsafe procedures. An education pro gram should be most effective for the largest group - 50 percent - who are not aware of cer tain food safety principles and subject their families to increased risk. Since there is a need to inform the home maker on how to improve safety in storing, handling, and preparing foods, respondents were asked what they thought was the one best way to get this kind of information to them. Television spots received the most votes approximately 26 percent of the homemakers cited TV as the preferred manner to get food safety information communicated to them. Food labels were cited by an additional 24 per cent of the homemakers. Radio spots were cited by only 3 percent.
