Abstract

This research provides insight into the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and presence of a food safety culture (FSC) in small food businesses (SFBs) on the island of Ireland (IOI). It also offers advice on resources that could support SFBs in implementing an FSC. The study employed a mixed-methods approach. Firstly, it combined qualitative one-to-one and focus-group discussions, which produced
data on the level of knowledge and understanding of FSC and the attitudes and
beliefs that surround it. Secondly, a large quantitative survey sampled owners,
managers and employees of SFBs across IOI on their FSC knowledge and
practices. This allowed us to compare different demographic regions, business
types and ranking among the SFBs. This research sought insights that could help
SFBs maintain or improve FSC provision in relation to training, development and
future policy.
