3.1. Preparation before food storage (recommendations #1, #2, #3)
Twelve out of twenty participants said they did not know the
temperature in their refrigerator, five participants answered 4 C,
and the remaining three answered 5 C, 6 C and 7 C. Additionally,
none of them mentioned a gradient of temperature that may occur
before or during food storage in the refrigerator. Thus, only five
participants have their refrigerator set at the correct temperature
according to recommendation #1. No participants washed their
hands before storing food. Therefore, no one complied with recommendation
#2. Only six out of the twenty participants removed the
outer packaging of yogurts (individual yogurt containers usually
come overwrapped in France) and vegetables. Only three participants
removed the outer packaging of yogurts, and only four
removed the packaging of vegetables (recommendation #3).
