Parents have a big influence on their children’s food hygiene habits, according to an FSA survey. The results show a link between how people currently prepare their food and the behaviours they experienced when they were kids. More than two thirds of UK adults (70%) said their parents insisted on washing hands before meals, with 62% now doing the same themselves. Just over half (53%) recalled their parents washing chopping boards in between preparing raw and cooked foods – a behaviour that two thirds (66%) had recently repeated.
