Food Safety and Sanitation Practices among Karenderyas in Poblacion Cateel

Business Management

The Code on Sanitation (Presidential Decree No. 856) is a Philippine law that provides guidelines and standards for the promotion and maintenance of environmental health and sanitation in the country. It also helps to ensure that businesses and other organizations comply with best practices in sanitation, which can promote economic development and growth. Its implementation and enforcement are critical to ensuring that the benefits of the code are realized by all Filipinos, particularly those in underserved and marginalized communities. Most of all, it is essential to ensure the safety of the public in relation to food consumption and to prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses. With this, the purpose of the study was to assess the level of compliance of Karenderyas, small food establishments in the Philippines. The study used a quantitative research with researcher- made questionnaire to gather the data. The questionnaire will also undergo reliability and validity testing through a pilot test study before being administered to the actual respondents of the research study. This study will involve 50 respondents – 30 workers and 20 owners – from a total of 50 Karenderyas in Poblacion Cateel through convenience sampling. Moreover, the researchers will use Mean and Pearson product by analyzing the data.
