The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which participants adopted safe food handling behaviors after attendingfood safety programs conducted by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. One hundred telephone interviews with program participants were completed. The interview schedule included 16 food handling questions. Participants reported practicing safefood handling behaviors a higher percentage of the time after participating in the programs than before participating in the programs. The food handling behaviors showing statistically significant changes included thawingfrozenfood in the refrigerator; usingappliance thermometers; keepingfood preparation areas clean; washing hands before handlingfood, after handling raw meat, and before handling cooked food; refrigerating perishable foods promptly; and using different cutting boardsfor raw meats and otherfoods. Based on participant responses, the food safety programs appear to be effective in the promotion of behavioral change and the adoption of safe food handling behaviors
