| Summary: | Due to the increasing number of people consuming food at restaurants and outlets, food safety has become a significant public health concern. This research aims to determine the compliance of food handlers with personal hygiene procedures at restaurants and food outlets in Pasir Gudang, Johor. The study was including 300 food workers (n = 300). The questionnaire was designed to collect information about the socio-demographic characteristics of the workers and the various practices and procedures that were used in the food premise during Covid 19. The assessment was being evaluated using the criteria and standards established by the Food Hygiene Regulation 2009 of the Ministry of Health Malaysia's Food Safety and Quality Division. The results of the survey were then used to calculate the percentage of mean conformity using the SPSS version 21.0. The result shown that the mean percentage of conformity for food handler attire was 68.88%, personal hygienic behaviour was 89.73%, personal unhygienic behaviour was only 6.94%, and for the standard operational procedure (SOP) of Covid-19 was 80.73%. The overall mean percentage for 300 workers in Pasir Gudang is 61.57%, which is a decent level of food safety and hygiene in Malaysia. Further study and assessment should be done from time to time to ensure the level of food safety and hygiene is improving to prevent any food-borne disease in Pasir Gudang, Johor. |
