A survey by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has scored food vendors in Accra high on hygiene, although it raised grave concerns about food handling that requires attention.
According to the study, most of the vendors did not undergo medical screening, nor attended training courses on food hygiene and safety, or have a valid food handling certificate.
The study was conducted in collaboration with the School of Public Health at the University of Ghana.
The provisional findings on the first sample of 1,700 street food vendors as of April 2016 showed that the overall hygienic and safety conditions under which street foods are prepared and sold in Accra are acceptable.
