and 91,3±7,7, respectively. The percentage of food handlers having good knowledge, attitude, practice about food safety were: 75,1%; 26,4%; and 97%. The respondents under
30 years old scored higher significantly compared to those over 30 years old about knowledge and attitude; and illiterate respondents had significant lower mean of knowledge, attitude, practices score than those who have education level higher. Pearson statistic
