Abstract

The application of food safety by the street food vendors in Bandung-Indonesia is still questionable, it could be seen by the method they use to sanitize the equipment and how they handle the foods. This should be a big concern since almost all Indonesian people are their potential consumer. The customer of street food vendor becomes the focus of this study because they made the purchase decision based on their knowledge about food safety practices. This study was conducted to find out how much the knowledge that street food vendor’s customers have regarding food safety. Descriptive method was used in this study and the data were collected by using questionnaires. The respondents were 300 customers and also 300 street food vendors who usually sell their food around Geger Kalong Street, Dipati Ukur Street and Cihampelas Street, which are three spots where the street food vendors highly concentrate in Bandung. This study reveals that the customer is still lack of knowledge about the application of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and also about the regulation related food safety applied in Indonesia. Hopefully, these results could be used as a reference for the government to give more knowledge about food safety to the customer of street food vendors in Bandung.
