520			_aThe 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.
