Implementation of food biosecurity management plan against food terrorism in on-site foodservice operations

This study investigated how often specific preventive measures against possible food terrorism threats were practiced in on-site foodservice operations and what characteristics those relatively well-secured operations possess. Information about 35 food biosecurity practices from six categories and nine operational characteristics were obtained from foodservice directors in health care operations and schools in Kansas during the spring of 2005. Basic descriptive analysis and canonical correlation analysis were used to address research questions. Based on the data analyses results, the on-site foodservice operations that were more cautious about possible food terrorism threats performed specific food biosecurity preventive measures more often.
