Abstract
The current study aims to identify the factors influencing households' attitudes towards food safety in the governorates of the Riyadh region (Diriyah, Al-Muzahmiyah, and Thadig).A simple random sampling technique was used to collect data.Results of analysis revealed that nationality and income level had a significant relationship with respondents' attitudes towards food safety.The majority of respondents hold moderate attitudes towards food purchasing, food preparation and food preservation.On the basis of findings, it is suggested that policy makers should understand the barriers to awareness about food safety.Food authorities should create awareness among people through social media campaigns.Food safety programs should be implemented to ensure food safety and educate people about the advantages of the adoption of food safety measures.
