  • Food safety training and foodservice employees' knowledge and behavior.
    Roberts, Kevin R.; Barrett, Betsy B.; Howells, Amber D.; Shanklin, Carol W.; Pilling, Valerie K.; Brannon, Laura A. (International Association for Food Protection, 2008)
    Statistics show that 59% of foodborne illnesses are traced to restaurant operations. Food safety training has been identified as a way to assure public health, yet evidence supporting the effectiveness of training has been ...
  • Food safety training requirements and food handlers' knowledge and behaviors
    Pilling, Valerie K.; Brannon, Laura A.; Shanklin, Carol W.; Roberts, Kevin R.; Barrett, Betsy B.; Howells, Amber D. (International Association for Food Protection, 2008)
    Very little research has evaluated how different types of food safety training requirements in foodservice establishments affect food handlers' performance. Foodservice employees (n = 242) from randomly selected restaurants ...

  • Generalizing survey results from student samples: Implications from service recovery research
    Ok, Chihyung; Shanklin, Carol W.; Back, Ki-Joon (2008)
    Using college students as research subjects in consumer research may or may not be appropriate. This paper discusses external validity of research findings using student subjects as surrogates for consumers in experimental, ...
  • Hot processed beef--microbiological characteristics
    Fung, D.Y.C.; Lee, C.Y.; Kastner, C.; Dikeman, M.; Hunt, M.; Kropf, D.; Lyon, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    To help insure that hot-processed beef has an acceptable shelf life and is microbiologically safe, the microbial characteristics of the product must be evaluated. This is particularly true for hot-processed cuts that are ...
  • Identifying specific beliefs to target to improve restaurant employees’ intentions for performing three important food safety behaviors
    Pilling, Valerie K.; Brannon, Laura A.; Shanklin, Carol W.; Howells, Amber D.; Roberts, Kevin R. (2008)
    Current national food safety training programs appear ineffective at improving food safety practices in foodservice operations, given the substantial number of Americans affected by foodborne illnesses after eating in ...
