Food safety and hygiene encompasses the practices and conditions necessary to prevent foodborne illness and contamination throughout the production, handling, preparation, and storage of food. Research published in the International Journal of Nutrition examines this topic primarily through the lens of its impact on nutritional outcomes and public health in diverse populations. Studies have investigated how environmental sanitation and hygienic practices influence the nutritional status of vulnerable groups, including women and children in rural India, revealing connections between sanitation infrastructure and health outcomes. The journal has also published microbiological assessments of processed food products, such as fish-based sausages, evaluating both safety parameters and nutritional properties. Additional research has explored food safety as one factor among broader determinants of malnutrition, examining stunted growth in children across different geographic settings including rural Uganda and Bangladesh, where hygiene practices intersect with socioeconomic conditions, water access, and dietary adequacy. This body of work underscores that food safety and hygiene are not isolated concerns but integral components of nutritional health, particularly in resource-limited settings where inadequate sanitation and unsafe food handling can compromise both immediate food safety and long-term nutritional status across the lifespan.
