Federal regulators are also making the safety and reliability of our food system a higher priority. A recent <a href=\"http:\/\/trustedinsight.trendsource.com\/consumerinsightstudy\/2016-consumer-study-food-safety-in-fast-casual-restaurants\" target=\"_blank\">survey<\/a> from TrendSource, Inc., a San Diego-based data collection and analysis service, sought to figure out which perceptions diners have about food safety. The survey involved asking nearly 3,000 consumers who were at least 18 years old about a number of topics involving safety. The subjects included food handling, cleanliness, employee hygiene, and food-borne illnesses. The majority of the people\u00a0who participated in the study were females with college educations, ages 31 to 60. The study focused primarily on fast-casual restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 65 percent of the people surveyed reported that they patronize a fast-casual restaurant a couple times each month and that they will visit on average four different restaurants during that timeframe. Over 80 percent of survey members prefer to see their food being prepared, believing that it gives them a better sense of whether it was prepared safely and helps\u00a0them ensure its quality. An even higher percentage of participants stated that when the individuals preparing their food wear gloves, they believe their food is either safe or very safe to eat. Still, slightly more than half of the people surveyed indicated that they do not think employees at restaurants wash their hands after using a restroom, after taking a smoking break, or prior to handling food items.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to biases, almost half of participants said that they believe certain types of foods are more likely to be contaminated than others. Some of these biases were based on cultural cuisines, with Mexican food topping the list of cuisines most likely to cause illnesses.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/new-food-safety-survey-sheds-light-much-matters-consumers\/#more-1201\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumers are paying more and more attention to food safety.
