The study observed that ready-to-eat foods are increasingly consumed,
especially by university students with limited time, such as Home Economics
students at the Technological University of the Philippines-Manila. Researchers
examined food consumption styles and the importance of food safety knowledge
using the PREP Framework: Prevent, Recognize, Educate, and Practice, a food
safety model for ready-to-eat foods.
Qualitative findings highlighted misconceptions about food safety,
challenges in regulation, and the need for public education. Meanwhile,
quantitative results showed that students rated the PREP Framework as very
acceptable, gaining confidence in safe food practices.
The study concluded that the PREP Framework was effective in improving
students' knowledge and confidence in food safety. Students were better
equipped to recognize risks, follow safe handling protocols, and understand the
importance of personal hygiene and sanitation. The findings support integrating
the PREP Framework into broader educational programs while emphasizing the
need for stricter regulations, public education campaigns, and improved vendor
hygiene to mitigate foodborne illness risks.
