    Author: Zacarías I, Awad C, Brunser O, Kirschbaum A.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1991 Nov; 119(11):1334-40. PubMed ID: 9723089.
    Abstract:
    A study to evaluate hygiene of food handlers and their sites of work was carried out. The hygienic habits of food handlers were evaluated by personal interview at the job site. Hygiene of the establishment was evaluated according to a standard score. Both workers and establishments were found inadequate in this respect. After a short educational intervention, a significant increase (p < 0.05) in knowledge about hygienic habits was demonstrated in food handlers. Prevention of food transmitted diseases requires constant educational efforts directed to food handlers.
