“…It is known that levels of hygiene in meat retail outlets differ due to transportation, handling, and processing and that microbial contamination levels are unlikely to be the same as well. Microbial contamination mostly occurs during the slaughter, processing, storage, and distribution at slaughterhouses and retail outlets [47]. This occurs because of the unhygienic handling of meat from slaughterhouses, butchering equipment, handling, transportation, and processing [48].…”

This study was conducted at two different restaurants of Raymond Mhlaba Municipality (Alice), Eastern Cape, South Africa, to determine consumers' social representations of meat safety. A total number of 251 people were interviewed in focus group discussions, each comprising 4-6 interviewees were conducted. Each focus group consisted of university students and staff, and members of rural communities surrounding the town of Alice. A semi-structured questionnaire comprising both closed-ended and open-ended questions was used to collect data. Consumers were concerned about the hygiene at the place of purchase and the freshness of meat. Moreover, they revealed that they were always worried about the risk of food-borne diseases. Although food-borne diseases were not cited as a significant problem, related ideas such as "washing of hands before preparation of food to minimize food-borne diseases" were important to consumers. Consumers indicated that meat safety at the abattoirs should be thoroughly managed given that "hygiene during meat processing is important to prevent the occurrence of food-borne diseases". Consumers in both retail outlets have shown to have a limited understanding of meat safety. Thus, consumers' social representations, perceptions, and knowledge are complex and dynamic with respect to meat safety.

“…This was not the case, however, in the RAC and NSP groups. Meat, especially beef, is the most popular source of protein in Brazil [65]. The multifactorial nature of food choices should be emphasized, with price and purchasing power being strong influencers of the process [65].…”

“…Meat, especially beef, is the most popular source of protein in Brazil [65]. The multifactorial nature of food choices should be emphasized, with price and purchasing power being strong influencers of the process [65]. Thus, it is unsurprising that the rural workers consumed below recommended levels of proteins, considering this macronutrient has the highest cost.…”

Eating Behavior (Duration, Content, and Timing) Among Workers Living under Different Levels of Urbanization

et al. 2020

Urbanization has contributed to extended wakefulness, which may in turn be associated with eating over a longer period. Here, we present a field study conducted in four groups with different work hours and places of living in order to investigate eating behavior (duration, content, and timing). Anthropometric measures were taken from the participants (rural (n = 22); town (n = 19); city-day workers (n = 11); city-night workers (n = 14)). In addition, a sociodemographic questionnaire was self-answered and 24-h food recalls were applied for three days. The 24-h food recalls revealed that fat intake varied according to the groups, with the highest consumption by the city-day workers. By contrast, city-day workers had the lowest intake of carbohydrate, whereas the rural group had the highest. In general, all groups had some degree of inadequacy in food consumption. Eating duration was negatively correlated with total energy intake, fat, and protein consumption in the rural and town groups. There was a positive correlation between body mass index and eating duration in both city groups. The rural group had the earliest start time of eating, and this was associated with a lower body mass index. This study suggested that food content and timing, as well as eating duration, differed according to place of living, which in turn may be linked to lifestyle.

“…The more a food, through its symbols, represents values considered important to consumers, the greater the chance of being chosen for consumption. Taking red meat as an example, in Western societies, its consumption is valued, for many consumer groups, for being associated with a status symbol, the strength for work and the guarantee of satiety [3][4][5][6]).…”
